New to all this, need some help

[TEC]

Hello people ! i started this site a month ago. i'm using wordpress as a content management tool only, my goal wasn't creating a blog. i wanted to make a site that had everything i like about other sites in one place, and make some extra money out of it. The problem? after a month, i have recieved 495 unique visits, 93 of them in one day after posting the link on a forum. and i dont think thats a lot. i have submited the site to all the big search engines and i'm getting some traffic out of that. i have tried linkex <-- if anyone wants to exchange links. Do any of you have any tips on how to increase traffic? whats the normal ammount of traffic i should expect from a site like mine? I would really appreciate your help
