    Hi, I built a site that is really good and global (to all the worlds users)..
    I can't seem to market it though... Google sends me some organic traffic but I can't seem to turn profit..
    I tried paying some asian guy for social bookmarking but its no good (instead of facbook, plus, twitter, digg, stumbleupon he got me links in unknown ghost social bookmarking sites)...
    Poeple who surf the site really like it and I get great feedback, so why isn't it going viral ?
    the address: http://cfind.net/
    Any tips will be appreciated :)

    try learning about PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising. PPC can help your online business grow tremendously...you just need to take the right steps. I'm currently doing well now with PPC...4 figures a month isn't that bad. If you want to start learning about PPC, I suggest you go over at http://www.ppcacademy.com/freetips

    If you have some money to spare, try some PPC and Facebook ads.

    Yes, use PPC. Normally, PPC needs you to pay per ad clicked, but there's a way to do it for entirely FREE. Click on my sig to learn more.

    I would say you have to do a lot more work on keyword research and backling that actually works to compete on Google. 90% or more of my traffic comes from social promotion.

    It all depends on your type of audience for you to be able to turn it into sales, you might have great content but if the audience are not going to buy anything or do what you expect then it won't generate any money, which is why it is a great idea to identify the keywords that are likely to make your site profitable

    The general basic rules of SEO should work fine however don't expect to see results overnight as that won't happen.

    I looked on your website to see if you had a blog. I can't see one but if you do you can try our RSS Services. It's a great way to gain new readers, develop traffic, SEO for backlinks and help you rank higher in Google.

    Do PPC for promotion overnight.
    for seo you have to wait to see outstanding results if you are with a good seo company.

    Doing search engine optimization is the best practice. You said you are getting some organic traffic. You can start building some links and google will place your site in top for you keyword.
