    It would be better if you accompany your online marketing with offline promotion such as marketing with postcards. You can print your web url on the postcards and customized a design that could attract your potential target market.

    twitter? people get excited about coupons, and they will retweet.. and that will help you.. collect list of emails, and send out coupons to that list .. provide rss for your readers

    Hi, just a few thoughts on your site:
    - Cloak the links (no one likes to see affiliate links and it looks more professional)
    - Clean up design (Seems a bit complex to me, I like simple layout and easy to navigate)

    Take a look at WP Coupon, it has a lot of options and even comes with Manage Affiliate Links (Link cloaker).

    For advertising, try buying ad space on competitors sites. Also use social media sites.

    Social bookmarking (slashdot, delicious, digg) and social networking (facebook, twitter) helps promote your forum..

    a combo of facebook, myspace and twitter could be very helpful. Also, have you thought about google adwords?

    In addition to SEO and making yourself present on social media sites, I would start an email list as well that you can market to on a weekly or monthly basis.

    Try to promote it via buying links or blog post on shopping relevant blogs and site.
    Besides, there are many eCommerce forums, where you could comment to build backlinks and attract traffic.
