TechCrunch is a good place to start. They're widely read and will generate at least that many visits for a day or 2. At that point its up to you to keep those incoming users and get more. Having a way for people to tell their friends (or some kind of other social/viral feature) helps, but the best thing to do that will actually ensure you get on TechCrunch in the first place is have a great app that people want to use. RescueTime currently gets >50% of what we got on TechCrunch every day - and we don't have any SEO and aren't doing any marketing or PR.
Thanks Brain. I am a big fan of RescueTime and I totally see how it could retain 50%(which is extremely good) users from the initial boost it got from techcrunch.
However unlike RescueTime which attracts a very high daily active users, we have a product discover & research site http://www.reviewgist.com. We would definitely work on to improve the engagement levels and plan it before we do PR but as you see the predominant traffic would be consumers and we would still have to deduce alternative sources.
