Just some personal opinions...
As far as the web site goes, check your rankings in the search engines and do some usability testing. I assume you've already checked to be sure you're offering something your competitors don't (cheaper prices, faster delivery, etc.).
Far more important, is to use the traditional tools & techniques of marketing. Advertise in magazines, provide useful information not available elsewhere, get a word of mouth referral plan going, do some cross linking from compatible businesses, etc. The dot.com failure was, in part, because lots of folks thought building a web site to sell stuff would work on its own.

Promotion of a website is important.. Ebay might be a good idea to get some new clients.. What i would use is a product like http://download.com.com/30 00-2181_4- 10221360.h tml .... This will allow your site to get picked up when it is searched for in google or yahoo. Another thing is to make sure that you use unique keywords to describe your site and product. This will increase the chance of a search engine returning your site. You might also want to try adding metadata to your site which will also increase the amount of traffic.. Somthing that you might want to do is a add a counter to your site and see if it is maybe getting traffic but no one is buying the product. or if you really aren't getting any traffic try one of the above methods.. Good Luck... Ben
