    Ok so, i have the following sites which are car related auction sites for eBay.

    http://www.e30auctions.com
    http://www.e36auctions.com
    http://www.e46auctions.com
    http://www.vwauctions.com
    http://www.ae86auctions.com
    http://www.bimmerauctions.com

    They are aimed at the UK and US ebay sites but they aint getting enough traffic.

    Send out articles. Choose long tail keywords that people are searching BMW e30 tail lights etc.

    Add some content to your site!! I assume thats a bans site , without content it 's not going to do any buisines for you. I have quite a few bans sites and they are earning about 5% what my blogs with Bayrss earn.

    Try it yourself set up a blog and the free version of bayrss (bayress lite ) and then set up a catagory for each area you want to target

    I've just added a video to the salespage for super affiliate toolbox (see the link below) one of the forms of monetization I show is Bay rss both using linked keywords and a display, it might give you an idea of how to move forward.

    Hey dude,

    just create some buzz. A squidoo lens or a page on HubPages, Gather, Zimbio or any of the other UGC platforms would do you good and perform as a viral marketing campaign, if you know what I mean. These platforms will help you spread the online "word-of-mouth" so to speak.

    I'd also send out a couple of press releases, with a unique "newsworthy" angle. If you're on a mission to give luxury car owner's a place to sell their car-babies cheaply, putting that into a press release might not be a bad idea. There are plenty of free press release sites online, and even if a newspaper doesn't pick up your story, Google will rank those press releases well for the keywords you target. Good luck!
