How To Get The Word Out About Your Site?

I own a mustang site that have members all around the word (lots of military personnel) and its actually not doing too bad. Got almost 4400 members in a little over 3 years. Thats not to bad for a car/military site.

Other than being published in magazines, coordinating with other sites (Partner sites who share links), and advertising with Google Internet searches (which I have done all)...what is the best way to advertise your site (paying and non-paying)?

Thanks!

Whatever you think, posting it on vB.org is not the way as we do not allow advertising.

* New quality content regularly (something another site would link to and talk about)
* maintained spam
* social networking
* markup validity of web code
* Online staff

I know that. Exactly why I didn't put a link or even mention the name of my site. I am not looking to spam the board. Legitimate question.

"Markup validity of web code"? What is this?

http://validator.w3.org/ - use it to clean up html code.

It helps to ensure that your code is working across all browser types.

Thanks for the info! I signed up to Yahoo, posted some questions about forums and answered other questions.

Where is this "Resources" section you talk about? I didn't see it.

Holy Crap! I had about 1200 errors...I don't even know where to go. I was going to post it up here, but its 100K plus characters, more than 5x allowed in a post here.

Enable the option in your Admin CP to display where templates begin and end in your HTML, set the validator to Show Source and then go through your errors in order line by line. You'll find that errors tend to cascade, and one fix to an & that should be an & can correct hundreds of other errors.
