In short, how do you go about marketing a site… especially of the type listed in my sig, the Small Blogs Network one? I plan to advertise it in my school using promotional posters however, other than that I have no idea on how to promote it on the web… Execpt by continueing to update it and hope it get somewhere?

Also, I hope to add some small banner ads and whatnot becuase in the long run I’d like it to pay for the hosting at least once over. But my short term goals is getting trafficm any ideas?

Thanks a bunch!

I’ve got #3 and #4 down already. Anyhow, I’ll post something on Digg later. However, how would I go around doing the affiliates thing?
