Good Ways To Advertise A Teen Site?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by Bips, Nov 4, 2006.

    I Just started this on wednesday, and I need alot more traffic.
    Right now I pretty much have none.
    Suggest some ideas on how to advertise/get traffic.
    (If you say myspace, say what to do on myspace. Cause I know about myspace)

    if there is, you join that group and post a bulletin in the group =)

    Your myspace profile needs to have teen-friends - so invite those. Ask them for feedback on your site. Give regular bulletins that are interesting to teens and related to your site so you can link your site in the bulletin.

    What does your teen site do? If it's just another place for them to send each other those stupid questionnaires, I would say the best way to promote your site is to switch off your monitor, and then try clicking randomly until smoke comes out of the back of your PC. :)

    Seriously though.. I think being more specific with your question will help you get more detailed answers.

    You could get T-shirts printed and offer a giveaway, but make sure the shirts are attractive to teens and have something to say that would make a teen want to wear them.

    It would be a good idea to get your site reviewed in a teen magazine. That can bring a lot of visitors and return visitors to your site. Also, its not a too expensive way of promoting a site.
