Viral Marketing Techniques

[Kyoko-san]

My partner and I have recently started an ani-gaming avatar community (www.cruinne.com) and though we both are doing well with site management, coding, and art, we are both trying to figure out the greater methods of advertising our site.

Are there any blogs that would help with this sort of business or can anyone give me advice? Thanks!

Do some free advertising by either posting about it or putting a link to the site in your signature on all the sites you visit.

When you comment someone else's blog, leave a link back to your site.

Tell your friends, word of mouth can be viral if it's something interesting. 1 friend tells five friends, who each tell five more, then all of sudden there's 26 people. Think, 26 people tell 5 other people each? That's a lot of people.

Just some ideas. Remember to make sure it's ok to put links in forum sigs before doing it.

Place free-to-place games and short stories about the games. Do link swaps with established gaming sites. Sponsor similiar gaming sites for an advertising spot.
