By $100 I mean this is the limit of how much I will spend on search
engine marketing, etc to get the extra hits. The limit of one week is
the time period I want to see the hits go from 20,000 per day to
40,000 per day

We currently spend about $30 a day on google adwords advertising our
site, so please don't include answers which just say "increase your
google adwords spending". Maybe in combination with something else a
google adwords campaign would make sense though

What are you currently doing, other than adwords, to advertise?

Apart from adwords we get users from end user referral

Hi
I has a look at your site.

Here are a few suggestions, which will increase (cannot guarantee
double) your hits. They will take only a portion of your time and
probably no money

(1) include as many keywords and phrases in your META tags as
possible. There are none  currently.

(2) Add such keywords to the content of your site and place them as
first sentences. They do not necessarily have to be visible at all
(white words on white background will do the job)

(3) place several articles associated with learning to blogs and
forums, with relevant content.

Do not make it sound as advertising, but rather as a reference from an
objective user, who has found this to be a cool place for more info on
the topic.

Use the 100 bucks to place a banner at the site of a relevant forum 

These are however all temporary solutions. I suggest that you really
think about redesigning your site and making it more attractive

You could advertise your site on free classified sites, this will
increase your traffic and it wound cost you anything.
A new free classified site is located at

Well, what specifically could we do to make the site more attractive?
