    well...
    create original categories, don't use a dump
    a nice design - original one or hardly modified one
    start adding links manually, eventually gather lists of blogs containing the Name, Email, Title, Description of the sites and then use the Send Email and add link of the phpLD
    waste a week every two months on submissions to directories..
    post a lot in forums
    and in 7-8 months it will start to bring something back

    Just buy links on the sales forum and submit to some paid directories.

    If you offer for free your resource will have a low perceived value and will be abused, the traffic you attract is worthless normally submitter services.

    You need some budget; I think if you are inventive you can launch a niche with $300-$500 investment.

    my advice to you buddy is

    Just have something unique

    Unique Skin
    Have something new to offer (Don't copy the categories) meaning don't just put the dump in because it won't do you no good.


    Add special services including blogs / freebies etc etc.


    add to tons and tons and tons of directories ... and keep the quality ..

    well i suggest you buy a paid version of phpLD because much more templates avail. and very excellent script.

    Than you would have to spend money buying sitewides and blog posts etc etc...

    PPC if you got lots of cash.


    than pay an0n to get some cool mods in ur site and u r good to go
