Hi guys, Need some advice on my project at www.petthoughts.com I am planning to spend around $3000 – 5000 on advertising money for the site and need some advice where to go from here. Here is what I have done so far: I started with some paid forum posters this week over a period of a month. I hired 3 different companies for the paid postings which should fill up the forum quickly. I also have an article writer working on some articles (one was published on digg.com with disappointing results) and have an AdSense and AdBrite campaign running. Google sitemap has been added last week. My programmer will add video upload capabilities to the site this week and will add mod rewrite to the forum to make the URL’s more search engine friendly. Question is what else should I do to get the site kick started? Thanks for your help!
The site is really good. Have you started getting links for the website and some directory submissions etc. Maybe you can try and get it in Yahoo Directory and DMOZ also, especially if you are willing to spend $3000 – 5000 on its advertising.
I am a bit worried buying links – don’t want the site getting banned by Google right from the start. Is there a save way of doing this?
It depends on whom you buy links from. If you are to buy them, make sure the site meets that google guidelines.
If you pay me some $$ i'll post on your forum like a fiend Message me if interested. I'm almost always online too.
