    SEO

    Article Marketing

    Forum Marketing

    If you pick just ONE of these 3 things... and you'll have yourself a new FULL-TIME job, seriously.

    Just don't go spending money on a gazillion marketing techniques, just learn ONE.

    What is this all about? Never heard of it.

    Try finding some sites similar to yours with a pr to exchange links.

    It might help if your site has a nice design etc.

    It's just submitting articles to Websites in the hope of search engines picking it up.

    It's just some guy selling an e-book by slapping on a cool name, "bum marketing," to an old technique.

    It's a trick many use to sell e-books. Try to think of a cool sounding name, and slap it on an old technique.

    with $0 - not much. That is going to be a very long and frustrating path without an advertising budget unless something you do goes viral, and that's like winning the lottery.

    You could always "sell yourself" and use the money to advertise your project :).

    No, try to do some stu*ble/d*gg exchanges, there are plenty of threads on this in the freebies section @ DP. This will give you some (targeted) visitors to start with.

    If you're serious about your site, Work on the Buy / Sell / Trade forum here and write articles and perform services to get some startup $$$. Use that to pay for some basic marketing.
