I have a awesome tdl domain(targets area of about 1.5 mil) and an excellent classifieds script. I just need to get it started. I am really stumped. The "build it and they come thing" is just not working. If I can get some post started then the search engines will pick it up. Does anyone have ideas on how to get it going? I just need to get some hits.
The method is not working long ago already. Now you should be smart in promotion of your website. Try this stumble your site digg your site submit to directory link exchange buying adword
You have to do a lot of work on promotion of your website. Use social bookmarking websites like digg, reddit, delicious also you can do marketing of your website through social networking websites like myspace, facebook etc.
I agree your signature is the simplest method, I for one may have visited if it were in signature and likely others. Especially if were a free classifieds site you have, what dose this forum alone get a million hits a day, only 1/2 million is still a huge pool to draw from. Just my 2 cents blackpaw
