Free File Hosting site - What do you think?

    I just started up my new free file hosting site www.FlyingUpload.com

    Wondering if anyone had ideas of promotion?

    It would be a great help if people would upload their files here :)

    I'm not sure about directories or SEO. Directories have never got me much traffic from anywhere, and SEO takes a long time, and file hosting is very competitive.

    Do some link exchange with high page rank site and bring high quality backlinks for your site.

    U can actually make most of it .... allow all sorts of contents ( anything to upload ) .... Keep an abuse system also ( anyone complains u delete them ).... make user login systems ..... make so that the uploader earns some real hard cash for uploading his files .... i guarantee urs will be a great hit

    Anything can be uploaded, and files can be reported. As you said.

    I agree that we need a user login system.

    No. Not cool. Get out of my thread.

    Does anyone have ideas on exactly WHO needs file hosting? Apart from webmasters?

    I'm really looking for free methods. I don't have much money to throw around right now.

    Constructive critique: change your design (or at least your header). It looks unprofessional. Try making it more web 2.0 ish.

    Promote the file hosting site just like you are now, in webmaster forums.

    Webmasters (a lot of them anyway) have the alexa toolbar installed. This will give you a fantastic alexa in no time and allow you to sell ad space for thousands of dollars a month on site, not to mention renting solo blasts to your customers.

    well warez unloaders do. I have friends that have warez sites. If you allow it i could have them use your site.

    If you had a login system where i could see all my uploads and their links i would switch over :cool: pm me if you ever do

    And at the bottom you said terabytes of space? How much space do you have?

    p.s. I like this:

    Design and script have been completely redone.

    You can now upload via ftp, url, form or flash. You can now make a user account to keep track of all your files.

    Everything is working a lot smoother and better. Hope this helps!

    I agree with the idea but...
    You should pay for unique downloads.
    Cause i can upload 1000's of files a day but nobody is gonna download them.
    Or you can do a rapid share type of thing
    Where people earn points for premium accounts :rolleyes:
    People go crazy when they get something free

    What a douche bag....
