    Hi,

    I am trying to promote my webservice and looking for your advice :)

    Here is what I tried so far:

    Adsense - Spendt $1000 without any real users. I get the visits but they just seems to disappear.

    Stumbleupon - Spendt $25 but had much worse bounce rate then Adsense.

    Buying sig links at Digital Point - Tried a few and get some hits now and then but no users will stick.

    EasyTraffic.biz - Got lots of hits! Only problem is that I found out they are sending hits via iframe which means that no one actually sees my website.

    My concerns is that users dont really know what my website is and do. Could you check it out at http://www.geedo.com and let me know if :

    1. You understand what it is
    2. You find it useful

    Also if you could give me advice on how I can market it better and/or how I can make it easier for the user to understand what it is and do I will be forever thankful :)

    Here are some free web marketing tips.

    Not all web marketing needs to cost money. Aside from website submissions, there are a number of things that web marketers can do that are free, though they may be rather time-consuming. Other marketing tactics are relatively inexpensive, and are often well worth the investment.

    Follow these basic steps to market your website and business.

    1. Absolutely, you do a great job of communicating that with the list of search engines under the search box.

    2. No, I know what I'm looking for (website, video, ebook) and I know where to go to find it. I think that this is a pretty strong habit for web users because they've always had their different sites for the different things they like and they go there automatically. I think that's why search aggregators like this come and go but rarely ever make it big.

    Since you are trying to promote a search engine type website then you should find information on how Google and yahoo started years ago and how they promoted their sites at that time. Then try to follow and implement those marketing techniques updating them according to today's standards and requirements.

    It seems you have a issue in conversion. You can use Google optimizer to create test cases to optimize your website for better conversion.
