Honestly, facebook fans don’t amount to much traffic. The point is to provide your offerings / content to users on facebook. That’s why they liked your page in the first place. If you’re looking specifically for traffic to your website, I suggest trying facebook ads because you can link your ad directly to an external website. Plus, you can target your ads to extremely specific demographics.
You need to ensure that Facebook is in your target market.
e.g. are Business to Business or Business to Consumer?
If B2B i really think your wasting your time and you should move all effort to www.linkedin.com.
If B2C then you really need to work at it, create content, link from your email, website, rss feeds, etc, etc.
Share with YouTube on FB to create interest.
There is a whole topic on Social Media Marketing and I would start by searching YT for Socialnomics 2009 (Part 2) which is an updated vid of the social arena.

Facebook helps you in incresing the traffic but i suggest you to help it a bit. Make a campaign to promote the Facebook page. Something like invite your friends to invite their friends and so on, to see your website. If the website is really important for you give a small reword for the person who promotes mostly your website through Facebook.
+1 to bownsmith - the article looks very interesting (I’m looking into this myself, and think Facebook could be useful if done right - lots of great tips in the article)
hey find the those Busines pages on facebook which have a lots of like on fan pages then post you site url on its wall i hope you get better impression to your site.Find the largest no of member on group or fan page then post your Url there.
facebook fan page definitely works if optimized in the right way… i suggest u should review some popular fan-pages and understand their strategy and then follow them wisely
Inviting facebook friends is a great way to add to your visitors then post a share on the page you want them to visit. Make sure to also add them to your group by suggesting it to them.
