And I might as well contribute a bit to the thread as well - this is what has been working quite well for me:
on an aged site:

- I find a low competition keyword related to the site's niche
- add a new post, targeting that keyword
- do 100 or so bookmarks with Boookmarkin Demon
- create 20 or so Web 2's with SE Nuke
- blast the heck out of the Web 2 with all I got (article links, profile links, you name it)
- do some contextual links (I use AMR and wordpress blogs that I have in my list)

I see results almost immediately.... Of course, you can outsource all this instead of doing it on your own, then just rinse and repeat. The link-selling is pretty good idea - it can help you recover some costs and make money even if you can't sell the site.
Here is your problem. You are a hard worker, but you are looking for a quick fix. This shit blows up, and then dies off. At this point, if you want traffic, focus on building a good site, in a field which you have a chance. Build it into a legitimate website, that users like, that Google likes (which day by day is becoming closer to the exact same thing - it is getting harder to trick Google), and that can give you a sustainable income. I'm making around $10k a month right now in mainstream off 2 sites. I work maybe 5 hours a week on them, if that. Building a legitimate, sustainable business also allows you to invest in talented people, or other projects. Just my opinion.
