How to Begin To Promote my Website?

    Well I started a new website yesterday because I was bored and I am having some difficulty in figuring out how to promote it. My plan is to use social networking sites such as twitter and facebook as the main means to promote it, but the trouble is I need to build my followers in order to make that happen. I was planning on releasing a few youtube videos with a link back to my website but am looking for more suggestions.

    Oh yeah, here is the site:

    That post was not really intended as a promotion, more as a way for someone to suggest a way to promote my website based on its content.

    I think your website has social media value - remember its a competitive world and you need to stand out and make your story interesting. Also idenfify some keywords and spend some time getting organic SE traffic

    Not bad. That was a funny video of the guy pulling his groin. Keep updating it I might visit it occasionally. With respect to promotion, try writing an article about humor and submit it to the article directory in my signature and a link to the link directory in my signature...hope it goes well...:)

    posting it here is one thing.
    Affiliate links, SEO, social bookmarking, article submitting and more are the nest steps top take.
    Another thing to consider is to buy traffic for starting the site up

    Good Luck

    Cool site - I like the domain!
    I suggest working on the background design :)
    Make your site "different" and you'll keep more users!

    i would go with organic SE traffic and try to build on that. SE traffic is going to be the best way to build up to more than just a 100 or so visits per day

    You should write some articles and submit them. Great way of getting links.
