Hi

As far a promoting your website is concerned you may use paid stuff like ppc and for free promotion ideas just read one great thread in Forum and Community buliding forum in this website

And the links are not allowed into this message board

Thanks

Welcome to Webmaster World!

PPC stands for Pay-Per-Click. A program such as Google Adwords is a PPC program. The advertiser pays X amount of money per click on their ads.

And i would like to here about websubmit urls, email lists and so on i can use to promote my site.

Websubmit URLs- Some search engine submit sites are legit, but most are not. I think you should ask around before choosing a specific submit service.

Email Lists- These are often great solutions for advertising your website/service. Just be sure that the email list you choose to advertise on is targetted to the kind of people that you want viewing your site. Don't advertise on a gardening list, if you want people to visit your dating site.

Affiliate Programs- Affiliate programs are usualy very effective to drive sales and more traffic to your site. You could setup an affiliate program, and give your affiliates a percentage of the sales that they generate to you.

Banner/Link/Ad Exchanges- If you don't want to spend money, you could participate in an exchange program. In an exchange program, you basically trade banners/links/ads with another site. Many banner exchanges are out on the net, and you should look around a lot before choosing one.

Plus many more!

Are the "bulk email sites" who says that they can send out my ad to millions of real opt-ins, for real?.

And can i get something out of that method perhaps?

Most of those services are not legit, and usually just take your money and run. I would recommend a specific email list to advertise on.
