I don’t know whether your site focuses on what type of content.Because customized solutions will drive the traffic to your site in longer run.
But rules to getting traffic is very simple.You can get visitors by getting higher page rank .Increasing Page rank can be to your done in various ways.
The first and foremost step in driving traffic is to register your site with various search engines and relevant web directories.These can be done either by free submission or by paying its depends upon your choice.
Second step is getting links from high page ranked sites.This is the best way to increase the page rank and as well as traffic.But you have to ensure that you have got links from relevant sites and your links are placed in high page ranked pages(Because every page has got different page rank in same website ).I recommend to get the links from dating,entertainment,chatting ,music, movie sites .
Being the teen age themed site i recommend to use the social networking sites to view and share your ideas.Because the most of the people participating in these social networking groups today are youngsters.
E-mail marketing is the one of the way to get visitors. But try to stand alone from the crowd of spammers.
I don’t think that article writing will not provide expected traffic to your site because most of the age group between 12-25 are not much participate in the article reading.
lot of ways are there to improve the page rank .
But due to constraint of space i am finishing my answers.
Advertise it on http://www.shvoong.com or a popular web site.
Use direct mail.
Postcards specifically…they work best.
buy a mailing list for households with females ages 12-25, and pcik a dozen or so cities.
make sure your mailpiece is very professional looking, an dgive an offer or incentive.
If your postcard is just built to bring "awareness" to your site…it will fail….you must give an incentive of some sort if you want people to actually respond.
I’ve left some tips on my personal site if you are interested.

In increasing your website traffic, it generally helps if you submit it to search engine directories, which, you can be done for free.
Since you have done such, how about putting meta tags in your website. These meta tags are are composed of keywords which should be embedded in your website.
Another is, increase the content and quality of your website by placing non-plagiarized content articles which may be relevant or irrelevant to the services you offer USING your keywords.
Have you post your website to forums where your target market mostly visits?

and http://www.stardoll.com/en/user/?refKey=Ufyd80bFBC8XPRTcN9N0FX0XN are websites where girls at ages 12-25 are obsessed with, play with and actually spend with.
Most of all, attracting your target market with cute and girly banners is a must in your website and everytime you post your site on forums.

There are various methods through which website traffic can be driven to a website. Some are expensive while others are cheap or even free. Here is an ideas that can help you get the visitors at the least cost possible: Drive Traffic by leaving comments on high traffic blogs in your niche. In this case, don’t fall into the trap many people fall into –just leaving comments like “Wonderful write-up”, “superb advice. Thank you”. The reason is people will hardly visit your website or blog if they feel you do not have much to offer. Instead, make your comments contributory.
Hello! Blogging is a fantastic way to generate traffic to your website.Submitting articles (unique) to article directories will build traffic to your website also on long term.Both ways can be free.
All the best,

Would you please translate your blog into German because I’m not that comfortable reading it in English? I’m getting tired of using Google Translate all the time, there is a little WordPress plugin called like global translator which will render all your pages by default- that would make reading articleson your awesome blog even more comfortable.
