Need help in promoting a site

    Hello... :)
    I need your opinion about how to promote a site like this... since somebody could not understand the site immediately I'm going to explain you how it works: the site shows users a random site choosen from its entire database or choosen from a particular category, and allows advertisers to submit their site for as little as $1 right now.

    I think that since it's a new idea I could get some good traffic (I'm getting some traffic but not so much), but I still don't know the best way to promote it. I think that advertising it on other sites isn't the best choice, because I was rather looking for a "viral" expansion (like the million dollar home page). So I've submitted the site to some social networks (ie: StumbleUpon) and I'm thinking about buying a paid review in a not so expensive blog (I don't know exactly which one), hoping that this could start the diffusion of the website all over the world :D

    What do you think about it? Do you have in mind any other ways to promote it?

    Thanks for the help :)
    Good bye

    social media. Buy stumbles, diggs, etc. It's good for viral things like that.

    Yes.. So this is the way to go... I'm already receving some traffic from social media (like 154 unique visitors and 224 pageviews yesterday) but I'm hoping for much more :)

    Thanks for the help
    Good bye

    social media networks for sure, you might try some free viral marketing websites like trafficswarm.com which displays your ads to other webmasters.
