Hi everyone, First post here (been loitering for a few weeks though) I've just finished building my latest site and could do with a bit of advice on marketing this site and 2 others I have. Any advice welcome, I'm a PHP/MySQL developer, so this side of things is a bit alien to me! Site details: 1 - Classic games / apps download site, been going since about 1996 in one form or another. Google PR4 but very few hits at the moment: 192 Visits 452 Page Views in the last month Currently using adsense 2 - Niche reviews website (hifi wireless music streamers) Google PR1 658 Visits 2,054 Page Views in the last month Alexa: 2,894,582 Currently using adsense and affiliate schemes 3 - Site for my open source web apps (CMS, CRM, Support system) Just gone live so no traffic etc. yet I'm not looking to make a fortune from the sites, but any increase on the $30 per year they are currently making would be good! I can send links if wanted, but didn't want to look like I'm spamming on my first post. Thanks Andrew
