    Hi everyone!

    I'm new here, and other than running a couple of pseudo-popular forums, I've never done any sort of marketing for any of my sites, it's always been word of mouth for me.

    I'd like to expand a bit. I currently have two sites, just simple vB forum and hot-or-not style sites. I've come up with a few other ideas, and I'm looking to create a sort of community network. The problem is, I don't even know where to start when it comes to marketing. I've signed up with AdWords, but for their seemingly ridiculous "recommended" setup, it seems I could just save the money they're asking and purchase Google outright in a few years.

    Can anyone give me some advice as to where to start? I just don't want to spend ten thousand bucks a month on advertising when I'm barely making ten right now.

    Uh... but that takes a long time... you actually have to write good posts to get people clicked on your signature links...
    Isn't there another possiblity?

    resmap.com is a site that sells satellite imagery. I know the people involved with that site and here's some of the things they did:
    - google adwords
    - Found companies/websites interested in imagery and had their site linked into it.
    - Got the site listed in various non web based applications
    - Answered questions in various related forums
    - Had a decent product
