    Hello, my name is Daniel, I have a auto racing community site; racertube.com. I am wondering if anyone has any creative services they can offer to help me capture the racing audience.

    The Domain is 1 1/2 yrs old, PR 3 we have about 175 members and people are adding videos and photos.

    I have a team working on SEO right now, although I am not sure how good they are, they gave me there key word suggestions and after I reviewed them and did my own research I found much better ones.

    Good domain name.

    Try to form partnerships with other sites related to the auto indsutry, and cross promote each other.

    Be careful how much you pay for SEO, mostly you can do SEO yourself, it is all about getting backlinks.

    Are you pitching your website on auto racing forums? How many articles are you writing? For article writing services, be sure to check out elance if you do not want to write your own.

    Good luck! I used to work for the Indy 500. Love it!

    You can try out on Youtube videos, and auto race forums.

    I am not sure how your SEO guys doing but your title is not that good in my opinion because I think it is too many.
    You could talk with other auto forums, make yourself a good banner of your site and ask them to advertise..

    Or if you drive a car, get a small banner printed with your site and drive around, if you are in racing arena, take a t-shirt imprinted with your website name and then lurk around...

    I thinks this should help, and yeah you have good domain name.

    Good luck :)

    It is a really good domain name. I would suggest outsourcing forum posters to hit all of the racing/streetracing/dragracing/import car forums. There are a ton of them out there so you can bring in some really good trafific if you outsource the actual postings.

    Good luck with it

    You can use Google Adwords to advertise it.
    Or buy some links on high traffic sites related to your niche. :)

    AOL adSonar can place you on NASCAR.com at pretty reasonable CPMs
