    I have this game site that is VERY new www.bot-games.com
    And I have $200.00 to spend on it for marketing/advertising.

    What do you all suggest I do with the $200.00

    Any advice would be great!

    How about creating a forum and hiring forum posters to build some good content first?

    vBulletin is the best but it's very expensive.Around $150,if you buy it ,so only $50 left.

    Do submit to quality directories(most of them are paid).

    You might want to look in the Service section. There are some excellent offers there.

    Since I have dealt with gaming sites in past, I can give you a free tip.

    - Find toplists related to your niche (and submit your site there lol)
    - Buy links from decent gaming sites (NOT directories), wich are concurents with you
    - Link Exchange with decent gaming sites
    - Send MySpace Bulletins, though most say it doesn't work and its spam, know that it DOES work.


    Hope it helps

    LInk exchanges are definitely a good way to build traffic and are free too!
