As usual, Adam is right. Marketing is a wasted effort until you have something solid to market. This isn't to say you don't, I haven't looked at your site, so I don't know.
But my experience is that having good content, a unique application, or something worth looking at, brings traffic beyond my control.
I've been considering to write a few articles, one of them about, ahem, ASP.NET for ASP coders. In considering this, I've had a look at other articles floating around the web, especially the ones in repositories. Most of them are poorly written, full of misconceptions, and, honestly, make me want to never visit the web site they're advertising. Writing a good article seems a lot like writing a good web site ( or good content for your site ), so again I'd put this off until your site is already picking up organic traffic, and then think about articles as a possible way to add to that traffic, diversify it some. I'm thinking of this .NET article because, well, it's a burning question. Not so much that I need more clicks, as I think the issue needs to be addressed.
I don't have a newsletter, as my site changes too quickly for this to make sense. Workshops, those are like articles, but even more. Don't even think about these until you're considered an authority by your peers.
