What would you do with 1000$ budget.

    I would put some better google ads on instead of just the link block, so when you do some marketing you have a buffer by making some of your money back on click throughs + for quick serp results Id buy some sig links here on dp for 50$ which should get you 5000 links back (just choose a good term and target it) with those.

    950$ left, plenty of other things you can try also :)

    Submit sites to directories and submit articles about site. You can pay some one to do it or do it yourself.

    If possible then first buy a .com or even a .net instead of that useless .info

    Yeah. Upgrade the domain. Also try finding out high PR blogs of the same niche and pay them to give u a permanent embedded link or a blogroll link.

    I would do the following:

    Pay someone to submit to high PR directories
    Pay someone to post one of your articles on a Blog network
    Google Adwords
    Pay for stumbles
    Pay a poster for their sig link
    Get some cheap article writers for you

    I'd say spending it on quality content will make a difference.
    I'll second gsv13 and soccer-writer.
    $1000 is a good amount of money to spend on promotion, spending wisely and patiently can yield fantastic results!

    Best of Luck with your promotion.

    content and not cheap content... if you value your site cheap content is a very big mistake.

    I won't spend a single $ on writing and submitting as I'd love doing it myself (Also because I don't compromise on quality). So, I'm left with whole 1k. $500 for some juicy links including those in text. $300 for adding a blog and inviting guest writers (and of course paying them as well). And rest $200 for buying signature links and avatars at forums.

    Just read between the lines! ;) Well, by inviting guest writers on my blog I intend to develop a network of professionals, and to give readers a variety, while writing myself and not spending $$ (for submission purpose) is to maintain and have hold on my marketing campaign.

    ok... but you're still paying for writing... As for submission, article submission is a waste if its not done properly. Submitting to article directories and other large directories is the worst thing you can do. Great you submit your article to a ton of places that hold no link weight, no one reads, and search engines hate.... Not a good idea.

    Well, it may be taken in this sense, but I think, I'd be paying for the contribution and the time.

    Rightly said, not only article submission, but any other marketing strategy would likely to be a failure if not planned and done well. Secondly, I don't submit articles to many directories, but some reputed ones like ezinearticles, and it's working quite good here. As far as readership and search engines' romance with content is concerned, I think quality matters here as well. If article is written well and the content is what much sought for, it'll get enough readership and of course SE's love as well.
