|
| when I was starting out, lets face it,
| |
| | I don't care what your site is about,
|
| with a sub domain no one will ever take
| |
| | there comes a time when you will have to
|
| you seriously is not very professionalor
| |
| | promote it, if you are just starting out
|
| memorable, but it's a starting point none
| |
| | chances are you have a very limited

| the less.
| |
| | budget, so some tips on how to get
|
| Basically what we are trying to do with a

| | visitors to your site for cheap. Forums
|
| sub domain is get your site on the net,
| |
| | are a great way to establish a following

| the internet a bit, find a good
| |
| | see the users coming from these forums,
|
| registrar, at the time of this writing
| |
| | but be patient and develop a rapport with
