I can’t point you to specific resource, but I’ll give you some tips that I’ve learned about search engine optimization and getting traffic.
1) Have a good, reputable, web site with quality content
2) If your web site has been around for awhile, you’re much more likely to get a higher search engine ranking
3) Make sure your web site validates (on the w3c validor). Search engine crawlers will struggle if your HTML code sucks, and you won’t get a good ranking
4) Word of mouth: you can spend as much money as you want advertising, but nothing works quite as well as people who recommend you web site. Getting other web sites/bloggers to reference/recommend your site works amazingly (that’s why I’m on Fluther—because Lifehacker recommended it).
5) “Well designed” HTML: Your site may be well-designed and may validate, but HTML code may not be structured in a way that’s intuitive to search engine crawlers. For example, menus should be in <ul><li> tags and your titles should be <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc.

Actually SEO, and search engine marketing can be learned through experiences. Basic SEO can be done through offsite optimization, and link building is essential point. However, different site has different unique method to optimized and to be promoted. For driving traffic, social media marketing is a right choice instead.

For example, an online business site which sell their brand or generally called eCommerce site are has its own unique method to drive traffics, beside popular method such as social media managements, advertising, and email promotions, website’s owner usually share coupons and daily deals to increase website exposure and sales. Sharing coupons are great way to increase your site popularity and it’s worth every pennies.
