Lol I've been asking myself this question for a long time.

Google :D Get it high on there and it'll help a lot.

And have a decent site. No-one can deny this site's goodness, can they :thumb

I'm not sure tbh.... there are sites which can submit you to search engines.

Maybe you coudl google for it lol :lmao

Someone else floating around is likely to have a better knowledge of site promotion than me.

What is your site btw?

Oh... and links... being linked to apparently helps your rating. :Nice

To get more traffic to your site.

Submit a link to review sites of one of your reviews, and perhaps they'll put a link up for you.

A good way to start, talk to Rodney, he'll link to yours and you'll be returning the favour kinda thing.

Make up some fake ads to put down the right side. Better yet, hold a competition. Funny stuff will attract traffic to your site.

You have to be different and make something about it interesting.
