Here are just a few pointers:
Fast download time...
...regularly updated, original and well-focussed, keyword-savvy content...
...a lot of back up material on other easily navigable pages (so the visitor feels you really are an expert on the subject!)...
...something to encourage visitor participation (survey, questionnaire with a freebie for filling it in)...
...a form for the visitor to sign up to your newsletter (you do have a newsletter, don't you???)...
It will also benefit from:
...a unique selling proposition...
...a personal touch...
...contact details...
...an about me page...
...credible testimonials...

That's a great list Bobchrist!
That kind of list tends to go viral whether the list writer intended it or not - there was another "50 ways-to-get-traffic-to-your-site" list that I saw on another forum, and then started seeing it pop up elsewhere too... People love lists, so another great way to attract traffic is to write one yourself and then invite people to copy it (with your link included) and use it on their sites, blogs, etc.

Another way to get your site exposed free is to sign up to Creative Commons (creativecommons.org) and allow other people to COPY your original content... check out the site if you think that sounds nuts - it makes far more sense to give away your original content in exchange for LINKS back to your site than to get "a..l retentive" about your copyright...
:D
