Getting out there

[solidstate]

Hello all,

I just launched a hosting website and am trying to figure out the best way to get it out there. I've been searching the internet for days looking at hosting directories, email campaigns, buy traffic and all the other stuff that people try to sell to someone who is looking to promote their business. From what I can tell all the host directories are set up only to make the host directory themselves money and I haven't seen anything I felt was worth it. I feel our site has something good to offer and I definately have the experience (been running a successful media hosting site for over 2 years), I just don't know how to get started. Anybody with ideas/success stories, I'd love to hear them.

thanks,

Chris

wow, now that's a list. Hopefully they all don't want $99.99 to include me on their list..

p.s. - It looks like my other post got mod edited. I was looking for some honest feedback, but I'll wait until I have at least 5 posts to put up a url. I'm not trying to scam anyone or anything like that..

thanks for the help,

Chris
