    Paint your URL on your body and run naked through New York?

    next time you see a reporter reporting news in town live, charge into them knocking them over and yell out your url into the camera. it will probably make it onto one of those "funniest tv moments" shows.

    higher a graffiti artist to tag your url on interstate highways.

    Lol, funny yet effective.

    As The Rich Jerk once exposed, controversy is not always a bad thing. If you started spray painting your domain on every single bus in your town it would eventually make it into the papers. Yes, you would probably face legal charges but it would get you a lot of traffic, no? :D

    Not really all that unusual, but I believe URL on car works too... I've even going to websites I've seen on license plate holders!

    Call up your lawyer... tell them.. you want to sue Google Inc for not returning relevant results for a search term.

    Chances are, this will make it to the big news.. on TV.. Radio.. News Websites.. you'll get enough traffic...:D

    Get some busty women to tattoo it on their breasts. It is sure to get plenty of attention from male audiences. No risk of your ad from being ignored.. lol

    *rolls eyes*

    Hehe, my post isn't aimed to be sexist or offensive. Attractive women and inuendo are used a lot in advertising.

    Just shows how weak us men are.. lol

    It's an unusual method of getting traffic. Unethical I agree, it's just a suggestion of something that would work.

    Go in all your electronic stores (futureshop, best buy, circuit city, radio shack, apple, etc. etc.) and open a web browser and put your domain as the page, and also mark it as the home page! :)

    I like this idea :), actually u can just put up your banner behind the reporter. U don't have to knock her down :D, effective FREE advertising. I don't think the reporter or cameraman can do anything since it's a LIVE TV show!

    Well, only if u got gutt!
