I need a bunch of traffic by April 7th (of course, so does everyone). Thoughts?

I am running a dog training product promotion (releasing my first course) on April 7th. I really want to make this thing as successful as possible, so I need to build my subscriber list fast and get a lot of traffic to both my presell pages and the actual order page on the seventh. I have no idea what the best and most effective way is to go about getting a lot of traffic quickly. I've dabbled in article marketing, traffic exchanges, ppc, banners, JVs (I have several with pretty small lists now, but I haven't gotten a whole lot of response from any of their lists), forum signatures, web 2.0, everything. I haven't seen a lot of success from any of them, but I'm sure that's mostly because I haven't invested a lot of time in any particular one. So, my question is two-fold:

1. Which area should I invest my time in? I know how to do them all, I just don't know where to focus my attention and which would give me the best return.

2. Should I focus in one area alone, or should I develop smaller operations in all of them?

Also, money isn't necessarily an issue (I can't spend $5000 on this, but I could expend a couple hundred in something if you know it would work.)

I really appreciate anybody's help on this-- obviously, my time is quickly running short.

One of the landing pages I've got running right now is here:
The Response Revolution dog training course releases April 7th: Be Ready!

It's not pretty, but I'm hoping it will do an adequate job. Any suggestions on the page would be incredibly helpful as well.

Thanks,
-Lauren

    I'd get all your ducks in a row:
    Make a more appealing and graphically interesting landing page
    Write PR's
    Write articles
    Get your PPC campaigns all set up
    Get your Social accounts all set up and populated with thousands of friends
    Build, buy or lease your email lists and get them all ready for your mailing

    Then on the 7th let them all go at once and make sure you have adequate hosting capabilities. You're already really short on time to make this all happen, but it's definitely not impossible. If you're looking for a one blast deal then you can cease everything after you launch it, but if you want sustained traffic then keep them rolling and building over time.

    Hi David,
    You might check out PPC in many of the social network sites, which at times offer great ppc prices.

    Success,
    Sam

    I must say, if that is your best landing page, forget April 7th!

    "taught straight from a professional" - try "taught by a professional".

    Have you watched that video? I can't imagine why somebody who sounds so bored with the whole subject would expect anybody to sit through nearly 5 minutes. I lasted about 20 seconds before I was driven from the page.

    The very least you should do as a matter of some urgency is to take DavidtheMavin's advice and "Make a more appealing and graphically interesting landing page"

    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!
