    What's your target demographic? Find that out and where they spend time / money and then set up an ad campaign to take advantage of those channels / sites.

    Also, there is traditional advertising, like PPC ads and buying banner placements.
    Purchase links. Traffic trades (if you have traffic to trade). Write articles and exchange them for links. Create a MySpace account and build a friend base.

    Try:
    http://www.7Search.com - 2nd Tier PPC
    http://www.Adbrite.com - Text link banners (no PR value, they're JS like adwords) and interstitials
    http://www.Adengage.com - Similar to Adbrite
    https://adwords.google.com/select/Login - Google Adwords, PPC
    http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/ - Formerly Overture, PPC
    http://advertising.msn.com/home/home - MSN Advertising
    http://www.reviewme.com - Paid blog posts where blogs can review your site
    http://www.weblogsinc.com/ - Paid blogs

    When you're talking advertising, not much is free. If you're talking SEO, then a lot is free, but hard work. You need both, but it depends on what your wallet and time can handle as to how you blend it.

    Yeah I know brother and i respect everybody's work even if it's a small one but work is work. :)

    I had thought of the affiliate programs, but the problem with the affiliate program is that the people can do signups on their own.

    Brother, the site is not just Free Web Hosting site but it's a Free CMS Hosting, Free Forum Hosting, Free Counters, Free Webmaster tools Site..
    Thanks for the suggesion and the ppc urls.

    Thanks brother please let me know other forums like these.


    Thanks all of you for helping me out... more suggession are always welcome.
