    Hi,
    I am the owner of GameScreenie which was relaunched last week with a brand new cms. My goal now is to increase traffic to the site for my intended audience of video game site webmasters mainly.

    I was wondering if any of you had quality ideas for promotion. I have promoted the site on vgamin which is geared towards game webmasters and have hesitated announcing on gamespress because I am in almost direct competition with them. Are there any other venues I can pursue? I will not spend any advertising money for the site.

    Thank you for your help!

    Don't worry about the competition thing - if they are pulling the niche traffic that you need then try to figure out how you can get it from them.

    I don't want tons of traffic in general, I want niche traffic geared toward webmasters who run video game related websites or entertainment websites that touch on the area of video games.
