Hello,
    I have recently started a website about Movie gossiping and Celebrity photos. The name of the website is www.flickdiary.com. Here are some of the key features of website :
  

 -- Free Flickdiary account 

 -- Custom Themes (for your own blog) 

 -- Latest Celebrity Gossip and Photos (photos are as new as today`s) 

 -- Links to your blog. 
 -- Box office Data
 -- Photo and video upload. 
 -- Movie and Concert tickets

 -- Music purchase

 
I am looking forward to promote the website and let people know about it. Can folks here provide me tips and tricks to do so ?
 
Looking forward to hear.
 
Best Wishes,
-Abhay

Hey New Start-up

Congrats on your new site! Looks awesome!

How do you promote your site?

-- well, it is a blog -- You must be enlisted in some respected directories like Technorati, Blog Catalog, mybloglog etc -- all of these are trickling traffic but still works.
-- Publish content ( rock solid, informative) content on a regular basis and see the traffic soaring.
-- Leave comments on other blogs ( Especially on the very famous ones like tompeters.com, sethgodin.com...etc. However, just don`t leave a comment for the heck of it. Do it because you have something valuable to share or you might even want to prove something wrong.
-- Try Yahoo Answers ( this works for me! ) -- Answer some questions on Yahoo! Answers and see traffic flowing in ( trickling again, but long term stuff)
-- Forums and Directories are a great place to provide and receive valuable information from others just like you. Startupnation is a great example.

Look around online -- you will find more ideas. In fact this site has loads of information. happy looking and all the very best.

Hi vapourluck,
     Your comments were really encouraging. I appreciate your help.
 
Infact, after reading your article I am thinking of starting a new section on my website that lists comments about my wesbite from users such as You. What do you think about it ?

Hey, You are welcome. We are all here to help each other out.

I think you have a very useful feature in blogs that simply lists all these comments. Sure, go ahead and do it. I will subscribe to your blog too.

Congrats on your new site!

In addition to everything that has already been suggested, try using a social networking site such as Facebook to encourage traffic.

I`ve driven a lot of traffic to my site using LinkedIn. Since your target audience is very different from mine, you might want to try Facebook. While I`ve just started using Facebook and haven`t had much success, I know a few people who wouldn`t live without it. If you`re not using Facebook to promote your site, read my blog post about using Facebook for marketing.

Best of luck!

Andrea

Thanks Andrea,
   I will do the same. What are the other means you are using for marketing your website?
 
I am very worried about how should I spread the word...

Besides LinkedIn and Facebook I`ve been posting to forums - this one and a couple of others that I`ve belonged to for a while. I`ve sent press releases and done live networking. I`ve also posted a lot of content on a regular basis that has been bringing me search engine traffic. I`ve also been posting comments on blogs with similar target markets ... although not as consistently as I would like.

One method that has brought a lot of traffic to my site is offering free teleseminars on topics that my audience is interested in. I`ve interviewed "experts" in the field and then promoted the teleseminars on the social media sites. A couple of these have resulted in a real spike in traffic.

Why not try advertising on other celeb gossip blogs?  You can find ad space on them through adbrite, blogads and google adwords placement targeting.
