    Hi,

    You may want to rework you blog a bit first. The posts don't include any text and I guess the visitors coming to your blog would leave at the same moment.

    You need a headline telling what the website is all about etc.

    Only then it would make sence marketing it, otherwise it would just be a waste of time....

    I don't really have any Adbrite tips, but I can think of a few ways to promote your site without spending any money.

    1. Submit it to social bookmarking sites. There are a few free services out there to make this easier (onlywire.com and socialmarker.com are the 2 that come to mind right now). These sites can give you some decent traffic if you have good info on your blog.

    2. Submit to some directories. It might be too time-consuming to submit to hundreds of directories without paying a submission service, but you can still hit the top 50 or so. You'll get some decent links and many of these directories are PR 5 or higher.

    3. Write and submit articles to sites like Ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, Articledashboard.com, etc. Just search DP and you should be able to find a few good lists of article sites.

    Hope that helps - good luck with your blog!

    I think you received some very good advice from a forex TRADER. This is your target market, and he seems a little confused.

    I am in a rush, so excuse my rather sharp comments:

    1. Your header is odd to say the least. From what I can tell it's a psycho wearing some kind of head restraint. How is that related to FX? Can you not design a more apt graphic, it's the first thing your potential clients will see.

    2. The content is weak - you need something to wow potential forex traders. Some sort of content/RSS feeds that will allow them to keep their fingers on the pulse.

    3. How are you trying to monetise your blog? I see nothing that will earn you substantial amounts of money. Forex is an incredibly powerful paying niche. There are pay per lead programs offering $100+ per lead you send them. It's also a higher paying Adsense niche, and there are plenty of Forex courses with affliate commissions of $100 to $500. Why aren't these on your site?

    Hope this helps.

    yeah, the big picture of a guy wearing a helmet or something is not at all helping your cause.It more seems like some gaming blog with that picture as a header. And I don't see any content at all except the first paragraph( and I notice that the starting of the introduction with " this signal is yours". The "t" of "this" should be capital if I am not wrong).

    You might add some descriptions to the charts you have shown.This might help.

    My 2 cents..

    Hello there cute. It's nice to see a fellow newbie blogger. I have just started blogging myself and I can relate on how confusing things can be. I have read and reviewed a lot of successful blogs and formulated a plan in attacking the situation. Let me share with you what I have learned for the benefit of your blog.

    I have previewed your blog and noticed the following problems.

    1. You need content. Remember, a blog is an information medium. It will only become effective if you have effective and useful content to start with. By useful, I mean people can learn from your blog. As for your niche, it would be helpful to explain how the graphs work and stress the importance of learning it. It would help new visitors who are ignorant on the forex charts like me.

    2. You may also want to rewrite your paragraph to be more effective. The keyword stuffing is pretty evident and since its blogging. Onpage elements are not that important.

    3. I suggest you try networking. Blogs are more powerful than regular websites because of this element. Try comment marketing (but don't spam).

    I would be happy to support your blog once you get your content in. I was kind of wondeing how forex market trading works and how it can benefit me. You could take these as suggestions to improve your website. Best of luck!

    Here is a helpful tip that works wonders for your Optimized site...sign up with a few autosurf traffic exchanges, as you may know you wont get much readers from using the autosurf exchanges, but what you will get is a higher search engine ranking from your added traffic stats.

    Social networking helps get traffic going. The firestorm forum in my signature has daily social networking exchanges, plus a lot of other tools.

    Hi there, ways to promote a website are dependant on whether you want targeted traffic or untargeted traffic. You can receive hundreds if not thousands of unique visitors through social networking sites however a lot of these will be untargeted visitors who will take a look then go some where else.

    You may want to try forums in your niche, signature links and there are many more...it totally depends what your niche is but find out where people in your niche hang out, or go for information or recommendations.
