Not sure what number we're on...29, 30 ?

Sharing your jazziest articles and web content via Digg can be a great way to get more coverage, and there is always potential for really outstanding things to go viral.

This is similar to cars and vans being used as rolling display boards but I saw a HUGE truck in a field by a motorway advertising helloturtle.com

They're a rival to moonpig.com but I bet parking a lorry near a motorway will get just as much attention as a television advert!

Yep, although looking to start charging soon, but will certainly give some forum users free/discounted space.

32. Upload your PDFs to slideshare.net, docstoc.com and scribd.com, ensuring youve got anchor text live links back to your website and keywords in the document name, description and tags for getting found on the site and on google. Any use?

34. Contact people on youtube who have large amount of views on their video. Ask them to advertise in the description link of the video. Make sure that the videos are on the topic to do with your business. So for example if had an online store selling tennis equipment, you could advertise on a Wimbledon video.

35. Tell the people you researched- (For e-commerce websites)If you did some market research online, then go back to the forum (or where ever the survey was posted) and tell them you've started. (Maybe offer a small discount)

This is a Good Thread, with Plenty of Good Answers in it, so very Educational. If I might Impart my Own Knowledge, here. If it helps, I invested in Several Courses back in 2008, which are still very Relevant today.

One of them, shows Amongst a lot of Other Informative material ~

25 Free Ways to get Your Website Found within minutes bY Google.

How to Maximise Your Ad Budget, so you profit the First Month

How & What you should do, With Your Videos

How to Maximise Facebook ( 99% Fail To Do this!)

It was a worthwhile, minimal Investment, which saved me loads of time and money and reaped me good rewards.

Applied Education is The Difference!
