Hey all
Thanks for this post, it's so helpful to anyone having just launched a website. I myself have just started my own new service and looking for ways to promote it I've found so many of the "buy traffic" links that you mentioned. I haven't bought anything yet because it looked really dodgy and like you said, I don't think that there'd be an quality visitors.
I've just listed my service with the Google Service Directory, which I think is also quite a good idea, and I'd like to suggest it to anyone launching or who has just a service.
Cool, it would be awesome for anyone to check out my site and maybe give some feedback, I've tried to keep it as simple as I can.
Thanks a lot
Kiddo
