However, if you are obsessed with promoting yourself online, you've got a good thing going. If you want traffic you need to sleep, breathe, and eat promotional marketing techniques. Don't assume that just because you've listed your site with repparttar

search engines your work is done. That is just your starting point; repparttar 121496

beginning, not repparttar 121497

end.

You need to start thinking about press releases. You can write them yourself, or pay someone to write and distribute them for you.

How about classified ads? Write one for your site and one to promote your newsletter. (You do offer a newsletter, right?) Do a search for "free classifieds" and try to post at least four or five a day. Better yet, purchase submission software that will do repparttar 121499 work for you. I recommend Trellian's "Classify Pro" software. Find it at: http://www.trellian.com/classify/index.html
