How to promote my social bookmarking service website

    Hi,
    I recently redesigned my website http://socialsubmit.info. I use this website for providing manual social bookmarking service.

    At present my only source of traffic is google adwords. Although it is converting well, the cost of advertising is a concern for me. The competition is also going high in adwords. So I would like to get highly targeted visitors from other sources also.

    Please share your ideas on this regard. This is a service providing website. Webmasters are the only potential buyers for my service. Please let me know how can i advertise this site to webmaster other than adwords. please let me know if there are any other channels or methods. I am also planning to do commenting on related blogs for traffic. Please do not suggest me seo techniques as I am not interested in seo right now. Budget is not a issue , I want to promote this site aggressively right now.

    Thanks
    Rajanmr

    How about trying to do a jv with someone like bravenet - who have tens of thousands of webmasters in their email list?

    going to be hard to get real big with all the competition for your niche already doing so well.

    you have to offer something the others dont to get people to use/find you

    thanks webbmaster for your suggestion. What you said is right, New websites need social bookmarking service compared to established sites. I will surely give a try to that. now the challenge is to find new websites and contacting them.

    hi dotcomdude, I have also contacted bravenet for a possible jv and the options available, thanks for your valuable input.

    Why not just directly email them with an incentive to join (free ad?). See if you can get their email, first name of the contact person, and then email them while including the first name in their title. Don't expect high responses though.
    Also, try to guest post on blogs that have webmasters.
    Or create an e-book that webmasters would be interested in.
