    I just made a Firefox downloading site and i have no idea how to promote it. the URL is www.firefoxgrab.com if you are interested.

    Can anyone give me some tips about promoting it and getting more viewers to it?

    In my opinion, it was a bad idea.

    But then again, I think everyone's idea is bad.

    Velocity, the downside of your site is that although it may be honest, it doesn't look honest. For example, one can draw comparisons with the pay-per-download or spyware spoof sites that ask you to download a free program bundled with spyware.

    So I think you will be impacted by this. Sorry. :(

    None of the links even work. The addon and extensions pages are dead..I'd never download a thing from there.

    First of all, I would never download a browser with an average loading time of 3.38s. If you make up your own data, do it well.

    Lot of competition in that market, you shouldn't join it if you don't have your own ideas.
    Anyway, AdWords may work, or maybe PPC AdBrite.

    By the way, my page promoting it was here.

    you will get busted by google, as its against TOS.

    me and my friend had 2 sites very similar, we made about...$8.5k in a couple of weeks.

    his site got busted, and i closed mine soon after.
    be careful, dont let them get you for invalid clicks, take the ads off!

    I'm not sure the general idea of the site is against TOS (UrbanStereotype, can you give us more info as to WHY it's against TOS??)

    BUT - you have multiple referral buttons/links on the page, which IS against TOS..

    it doesn't have content on the site, the perpose of the site it to promote the link to firefox.

    and google will see this as a non content site.
