    I have been designing/maintaining websites
    for the last 6 or so years and never in
    that time have any of my websites achieved
    more than a few dozen visitors.

    Just wanted to share with you..how powerful
    being creative with your business is. If
    you want to see my site it can be found at
    www.removemymanboobs.com

    My latest website (please refrain from
    teasing me) just got 9,000 visitors in
    the last couple of days. This is a big
    achievment for me and I made some money as
    well. I'm sending out a Prweb press release
    soon so hopefully that spreads the word even
    more.

    All I did was sent out a few FREE press
    releases and the site ended up on fark and
    Stumbleupon and some forums..and I didn't
    have to do anything.

    I have gotten a few people asking me how I got the traffic this is what I did:

    - I came up with a creative idea
    - I registered a catchy domain which I knew would captivate people
    - I sent out a several free press releases

    The press release sites I used are:

    www.1888pressrelease.com
    www.free-news-release.com
    www.prleap.com
    www.pr9.net
    www.ecommwire.com
    www.pressexposure.com
    www.prbuzz.com
    www.przoom.com
    www.press-base.com

    I also got 2 friends to post bulletins on their myspace, but I don't think that would of helped out a lot.


    PS: I dont expect anyone here to give me money, I'm just excited and I wanted to tell you
    guys. if you have any questions or suggestions please let me know.

    I think the domain name and site made it popular in stumble upon. That can get you alot of traffic fast.

    That is a wonderfully creative idea. Hopefully you'll be able to write a lot about your surgery and turn your site into a content site. I think that there are some clickbank books that deal with the topic, so who knows, you could end up making a lot more than your surgery with this site!

    So you have built your traffic just alone from those Press release sites?

    Or are you using other forms of building traffic?

    Never the less, you reminded me to post my press releases.. totally forgot to do that.

    Hi there thanks for your questions. Yes so far I have spent $0 on marketing. All I did was sent out several free press releases and my site has been posted on other sites by the public such as social sites like stumble upon and fark as well as varios blogs and forums.

    Just goes to show how having a catchy domain and creative idea can really spread:)

    Your breast is smaller then mine but i guess you took steroids and got something inside them :) I guess it’s a joke right?

    Do you mind posting the press release?

    There have been some people who think I'm overreacting or whatever but believe me, I am skinny, bony and only weight 5okg's and I have man boobs, it's not normal. ;) It's hard to describe the condition unless you have it yourself, then you will realise how even the smallest man boobs are a curse to have:(

    @ dougadam Yes it will be fine to view at the library lol, nothing too risky:D

    Hope you'll get more uniques in the ensuing month. Anyhow hats off to your hard work. How to get more visitors from stumbleupon? I have tried my one site but ended with few visitors only...

    No this isn't a joke, you think I would make this public to my name for no reason:p

    Anway here is one of the press releases I made, it's quite short but gets to the point. http://www.prbuzz.com/remove-my-man-boobs-dot-com-pleads-for-your-help-2529.html

    My Prweb which goes out soon is much longer.

    so you take all those and the Prweb? Why did you take just them and the PRweb? Why a longer in PRweb?

    So you wrote the story like you found it not like it was your own?

    You should come to Thailand the girls here love big breast :)

    nice site haha
    press releases are great for newish sites
    with a good press release it can create sometimes hundreds of links from forums, blogs, social networking sites myspace profiles etc all for free..
