How to Promote Sites Besides Gallery Submissions

[webgurl]

That reminds me .... I haven't done the free site thing in almost
3 years I would like to try it again .
My chances of being listed is going to be very slim now

Hmmm, I am kind of surprised the only alternative to galleries being discussed here is freesites. Don't forget blogs, review sites, link hubs, there are tons of different things to do to promote.

Heck, I was out pimping myself with trading cards for my site all weekend! (Though, I don't know how well that would work for affiliate marketers vs. solo webgirls... hehehe)

Good points.

Also, you can join toplists, banner exchanges, try your hand at PPC?
You could advertise your url on tangible products and give them away free, although I've never tried this.

I really love to try different ways of marketing but my prob is that I don't have any knowledge in programming and don't know how to start those sites.

Are there any site that offers guides to develop these sites?? What knowledge should be needed, $ needed, skills, etc..

Yahoo 360 is a good way to see if you are any good at blogging, the way the service pans out you can create a niche site and get linked into other peoples profiles dead easy.

What a free site has over a gallery is its 'life span' old free sites still get hits and convert where as my galleries just burn out.

There are many other ways than galleries, free sites, and SEO to make tons of cash. You guys need to think.

Quite well. Over here in England we used to have several trade fairs every year, aimed at people who buy from sex shops (nowadays only one organiser left, who does one fair every six months). I leave piles of leaflets on the tables around the stage and bars in the fair, and at the rail station beside the venue. I get a reasonable increase in traffic for a few weeks after each fair.
