Ways to promote my site

    I opened Bidzap.biz last monday and have had on average 50 uniques a day and only 7 bids but this is because the site has been poorly promoted and I am sure if I promote it right it will fulfill its potential so can anyone suggest ways I can promote the site?:)

    Could you explain your site in depth more? I looked and couldn't really grasp it besides selling tickets.

    A lowest unique bid site - you a buy a bid ticket and enter the bid you would like to make for the site trying to make it the lowest, and the only one of that bid (so unique), once all the bid tickets are sold the one with the lowest unique bid pays their bid amount then wins the prize.

    Consider posting some ads on criagslist.org
    Also you can try social bookmarking sites (digg.com, ..) and social networking sites (myspace.com, ..)

    I am trying myspace, but adding friend after friend gets so boring :p

    How would I promote on sites such as digg? I dont really know how those sites work? What others are there?

    Okay... here's the problem. Your site doesn't make sense. I'm a reasonably intelligent person, and I visited your site and couldn't figure out how your scam, er, site, worked. These days you have about ten seconds - maybe less - to make an impression before a visitor to your site clicks off to somewhere else. That's just what happened to me. In order to participate in your whateveritis, you have to buy in. No rules or legal disclaimers that I can see, so you're almost certainly not a legitimate operator. Strike one. I'm in the U.S., and I haven't a clue how I would get the money to you anyway. And how exactly is the Royal Mail going to get my prize to me in Los Angeles, anyway? Strike two. And the type is way too small for my eyes. And you've never given anything away before. And the whole thing looks very much like some kind of scam. Strikes three, four, five, and counting (and you only get three strikes before you're out). Okay, but to get back to the material I quoted, I'm supposed to buy a ticket, and then enter a bid? Why don't I just bid "zero?" Isn't that the lowest possible bid? Maybe one cent? Aren't I then guaranteed the item? WTF?
