It depends what your website is all about.

But start with the basics:

1. Make sure your onsite SEO is done correctly.
2. Submit it to search engines.
3. Submit your site to directories under the right category.
4. Build backlinks
5. Create a Facebook Page and Twitter account that is related to your site.
6. Post updates on your Facebook and Twitter regularly.
7. Post new content on your website regularly.

There's much more that you can do...

Before you promote you must produce a site that lends itself to good search engine results. While the technical side may not seem important to the marketing effort, you will soon discover that weak coding will kill a site as quickly as anything.

So you need to make sure to follow best practices for coding that makes SEO easier.

Since the other folks have covered the basics of SEO, error checking, and other website aspects.

Other promotional means would also include providing unique content (that isn't directly similar to other content). Each page must contain a title tag, as a SEO standard. You may also consider getting the site reviewed to rate your SEO score.

Here is a website that does a good basic scan to rate one's SEO. http://chkme.com/
