What are some good ways to drive traffic to my website?

I’ve got a blog site I’d like to attract visitors to. It’s a vanity site where I write movie reviews for fun. What are some cost effective ways to drive traffick? Are there some particularly good advertising methods people can recommend?

my personal opinion, Mass Emails Are Spam. Do not do this, all this does is drive people away and it diminishes the integrity of your site.

The short answer is that you need to learn internet marketing. There are different techniques used to market a web site. Here are some popular techniques:
1. SEO - creating tons of content so that it comes up in search engines searches
2. PPC - buying text links on Google for certain keywords
3. Email marketing - creating an opt-in email list to constantly communicate with customers
4. Word of mouth marketing - this is hard
Some lesser popular techniques are: MySpace marketing, offline marketing (using bumper stickers for your car, etc), video tutorials on youtube, affiliate marketing, eBooks.
If you want good tutorials on SEO and internet marketing in general WebpageBlueprint.com has nice tutorials.
