    Date My Ride is free online dating websites without any "personality matters" fluff. The key search element is the car. You pick your date based on what car she or he drives - Ferrari, Honda, VW, Toyota, Mercedes, etc. you get the point.

    What is the best way to market such website, where and how?

    Nice niche. I would look at facebook. You can tailor your advertising niche to those who likes cars.

    You can become an advertiser with some CPA networks. Try to contact EWA, they are a great network and, if I'm not wrong, don't require a very high initial deposit.

    If you know your numbers it shouldn't be hard to set up a good pay per lead offer.

    Find Facebook groups and pages with similar interest and you are likely to get an audience from there.

    Those are some great advices. Thank You. So far we are averaging 400 visitors per day. I guess for a website of 4 weeks old it's not bad. Plus we didn't spend any money on advertising yet. According to Alexa rankings we've moved from 22 million to 700K place, so I guess overall it's not bad. The only thing Google's page rank is still at 0. I am wondering how long it takes before google starts taking you seriously.

    Google hasn't updated their green bar page rank in a very long time. I believe the last actual "official" page rank update was April 2, 2010. That's over 8 months ago. I guess google is trying to move away from this. However, your actual page rank (how valuable google see your page/website) changes constantly. The way to tell is to watch your site moving up and down in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) for your keywords. If you don't know what your keywords are, then you better look into this and find out. If you want to increase in this area, you have to keep building links on other relevant (car and dating related) sites using different variations of your keywords in the anchor text of your link.

    You can definitely use social networking and social media sites to create a buzz about your site. In the long run, however, building links and getting other high traffic sites to mention yours is the best way to keep the visitors coming. Of course word of mouth would be nice, but there isn't really any way you can ensure this will happen. Having a site that goes viral is a bit like winning a lottery. All you can do is keep buying tickets and hope one day you will win.

    Best of luck.

    Banner advertising would be best for you to attract users.
