From my personal experience I will include websites which helped me to generate traffic. It might work for you or it might not... but you have to try definitely and remember to be patient!
Here I will list the sites which helped me to bring traffic to my Cafepress shop and my blogs without spending any money on marketing.
- Google and yahoo organic traffic ( I mean with keyword search)
- http://www.stumbleupon.com/ (is a great website - suggested to anyone)
- my personal blog (50% of my traffic is from here)
- http://www.blogger.com/

I've been writing squidoo lenses (I have about 29 so far since last August) and my blogs and on all of them, I have links to my cafe press shop (I also just added a whole bunch of designs). I also have an etsy store which I just started -- but I haven't sold anything there yet (still trying to figure out how to promote that -- it has two of my jewelry designs and 2 knitted Barbie doll outfits that I created.
One thing I noticed, though, is that hits from certain places rarely translate into sales, but hits from other places often do. Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a niche?

I've been using stumble etc on my squidoo lenses (I have 54 so far, thank G-d) thanks to the little icons that are now on the squidoo lenses. I closed up the etsy store (switched to shop-it, but still haven't sold anything).
Our cafe press and zazzle stores are doing a bit better (though the summer is very slow!) but we really would like to get WAY more hits..... So any advice would help.
Thanks.
