    Hi

    I'm about to launch my new travel directory, but I wanted to pick you guys who run a directory - other than link building what other forms of promotion have you undertaken?

    Thanks.

    What's your budget? I would recommend to use Adwords :)

    I just opened one too (TourismJunction.com). I treat it like any other site.

    - submit articles for it.
    - buy some links (deep ones too)
    - submit to as many free places/directories as possible
    - trade links (3 ways if you have other sites)
    - Adwords can be good for building some quick traffic
    - Get more involved in the niche.

    Good luck!

    The directory will be a subdomain of my travel blog, which gets very good traffic, but you guys have given me something to work on. I don't think I'll be able to promote it on that DP thread because it doesn't have its own domain.
