Traffic Website

How to increase my website traffic without the long waiting list?
I created a website that has up to 250 hits but the only problem I have is the low traffic. My site contain a homework helper and a link to ACT and SAT college test also to help find scholarships. How do I create traffic on a broader scale without being on the google, yahoo and MSN waiting list to be part of there Search Engine?
Keep it simple to start:
first, add Google Analytics to Your Site so you can see what is going on….
second, add a site map which the Search Engines will pick up then adjust.
