    Yeah, invest in a good logo design. Number one.

    Then find someone to submit to heaps of directories for you. Maybe even get an adwords voucher - and use that for a bit of good traffic.

    Just make sure your site is all ready before you start promotion, or it will be wasted.

    You can buy an adwords voucher and test things out,

    or buy some social networking/directory submission service to gain some traffic and link popularity.

    You can also write some article related to what you are doing and submit to some paid auto article submitter, some are really effective.

    I would spend 1/2 of the money on original content -> that will be submited to article directories. The last 1/2 I would use on adwords

    your site loads a bit slow, try to work on that!
    keep adding content to your site, get some paid contents as well! fresh content is always nice.

    just the pr1, you need to do a lot of seo aswell.

    do some link building, buy links, do article submissions etc and increase your pr. $100 would be enough to get to PR5 if you use it wisely!:)

    Good Ideas, good stuff.

    I'm thinking about a redesign to try and take the site further, probably need to sell a few more ads first.

    get a freelance web designer to either write unique content for your website or get them to add some new features to your site so users keep coming back and so do advertisers :)

    I think high on-topic backlinks would be good and have some positive effect on the SERPS.

    As most have mentioned the
    key is content, content, content.

    One other thing you should
    consider is a paid autoresponder
    service if you do not alrady have
    one.

    The best thing you can do is
    build a list!

    If it is a new site, buy 5 links in high PR directories to boost your page rank. If you are not the writer, buy more unique articles to freshen your content.

    Buy Big Adwords voucher like $250 one.

    If you're familiar with adwords of course.
