    This isn't really a programming question as much as marketing or something. If you are looking to get good results in search engines, you could try to answer specific questions that people are asking and submit that to the engines. (You may already do that, I just glanced at the first page of your site.) Tricks like repeated keywords, meta tags, and such don't always work well anymore because people abused them. The engines basically look at the overall content of your page, and give it to the people who seem to be looking for something like it.
    Here are my suggestions for other things that may bring traffic: (No guarantees. I am not at all expert in this area.)
    join a related webring, where you share links, and traffic (if they allow your site)
    swap links with related sites (usually not a competitor), to share traffic decisively (You'll need to have some agreement with that site's owner about how to display the links on each site.)
    advertise on related sites
    sponsor something worthwhile (possibly related to health, since your site is) so that they display your website as a sponsor
    have some tool that people can use to calculate something related to health on your site that is easy to use and helpful, so they will visit again next time they want to use it, possibily a tool that people have trouble finding
    make sure your information is accurate, reliable, understandable, useful, concise, and easily accessable, so that people will be helped by it, and direct others to look at it

    Those are not really in any particular order, although the last one is usually my first priority. As I said, I program, not market or whatever. This is just what I would do from my experience in working with networks and such. Your local library may have books on how to do this stuff by knowledgeable, experienced people.
