    You can have your links on your signature and also participate in conversations. Look at my signature below for example.

    I second Pootur on the article marketing ... you can get a traffic crush to your site in a very short period of time. Another angle on article marketing would include making a small website, optimizing a longtail domain name for the niche of articles you are going to write, get at least 3-5 unique articles up on your site with Wordpress. There's loads of plugins (like Sitemap generator, pingers, etc.) to help automate the task of SEO. **Get everything uploaded and optimized first before you let the site goes live.** You'll get indexed quicker this way.

    Cheers,

    C############

    Forum signature and chaging links with others or using social networks are all best ways.And you should spend
    enough time and energy on it.Promotion of a website is never an easy thing.Try and try all the time.Maybe practice
    is the best free way.

    For more niche stuff.
    Go to your local chamber of commerce or YMCA and then ask if you can deliver a seminar.
    Forum are niche too of course. Try not to pay for any ads.

    <and on paying>

    Unless you're charging a lot....even PPC ads (IMO) suck. You have to get so many clickthroughs before you get a single sign up

    You can use automation bots for any social network.

    wholesalebots.com has a large selection for cheap and they guarantee their services. Most are under 20 dollars

    There are a lot of places where you can go to promote a website/business for free. Try going to:
    craigslist.org
    webcosmo.com
    classifiedads.com

    Then google free press release and see what you can find.

    living a little dangerous with a link to the admin part of your site IMHO
    Someone puts a password generator on and let's it run on your admin login for a bit and they might get in.

    For adsense you may want to get your TOS and Privacy pages completed before someone from Google sees you do not have them and bans your account as they can be real a**holes when it comes to that.
    But they won't ban you right off, they'll wait until you have some money built and due you before they say "you did not follow our terms so you get no money"

    Promotions are done like all websites are done with 1000 different ways.
    Pick one and master it then pick another. Though I believe you may already know this and are doing just that ;)
