Google or Yahoo is the best. Some more traffic sites like link share or traffic swarm would get good traffic. Forums would also be of certain help to get traffic.

You can try to advertise it on a forum like this one. You can also try listing it on directories. Getting your site notice doesn't really mean that you have to pay a huge amount. Some of the owners of leading online businesses are doing this. |

Getting traffic to your site consistently takes a long term commitment and effort. Find someone who can understand your market and marketing goals, set out a plan, and work it assiduously. That means laying out a budget of both time and money over a year or more. Don't expect Google and/or Yahoo to give you all the traffic you need. It won't work. For example, until you can get your natural search numbers up, you can get targeted traffic using PPC campaigns on Google (and a few others.) Competition for the most popular keywords can get expensive though. Can you make your business profitable by finding a niche keyword or phrase? Elven |

The common wisdom that anything under $1000 is free from Import tax is only partially true. If your business files a BAS that shows over $1000 in value imported, you'll owe the 5% tax. And the GST for the product is calculated after the Import duty has been assessed. It's not hard to see that this is an easy way to get into trouble. Elven |

Thats true Elven, But in my experience I have never dropshipped an item over 1000AUD. And there are some good dropshippers in Australia already. Sometimes it is not necessary to look overseas for a dropshipper.
