promote everywhre, from internet to daily conversations.

 

I use a combination of the following:

1. Social networks such as Facebook, Digg, Myspace, and Twitter.

2. Being active at other forums and placing a link in my signature.

3. Inviting friends over from other forums I am active at.

Although it doesn't seem to have the result I was hoping for and my forum still remains fairly inactive.

social networking sites and social bookmarking sites both are good and valuable.

 

Article submission and Social bookmarking is better way to promote your site.

 

You can try promoting it on classified ads directories, its very effective when you are talking about promoting your website plus its user friendly...

 

At the beginning, the important thing is to make others know our sites. Exchange link with other websites, put the link into the posts, both are useful for promoting. Of course , paid promotion is a better method. Besides, I think attractive content is important,too.

 

Digg is only good for news and current events. The best place to network is forums of your niche, and build a list.

 

I think Social Book Marking is important for any website because it can generate traffic several different ways.Social bookmarking is a way for people to save their favorite web pages online By using social bookmarking online people can access their favorite bookmarks from any computer and share them with other people....

 

Yes, i agree paid site promotions work better and best.
