    So my site, www.searchpurple.com is all finished now. I believe I have worked out all the layout bugs and actually made it quite attractive. Now I need to get people interested in my site to visit.

    I truely believe if I market this site correctly, it will hit big. Any tips or ideas?

    Lots of directory owners seem to buy signature links here on DP. Mine are all full, but perhaps it's worth a look in to? Stating it's PR5 in the link you purchase may bring some sales I.E. 'Add Your URL To PR5 Directory' like you do now on your signature - try and find the most active people on DP and offer them $15-20 per month or something. If it doesn't work out, you can always discontinue that method.

    You should start by actually creating a marketing plan, and not just a tactic list. If you don't want to put in the time for a full marketing plan, you can use a one page marketing plan template I'm going to be including on one of my sites soon - http://www.bizammo.com/onepagemarketingplan.pdf

    Make sure you're thinking about the important background, like your target market demographics, industry trends, who your main competitors are, what your honest weaknesses are, etc. If you don't do that first, you'll never get the best results with tactics, and you'll waste a lot of time in trial and error.

    Nice looking site. Firstly, you need to go on the sirectory submist section of the forum and provide the chance for people to submit their sites.
