Talking Promotion?

So i was thinking that we need to get the word out about our lovely Xboxic. The digg article was a start, and it made me wonder if we should find other ways, instead of the nerds on digg

So give me ideas for banners for promotion. You know, slogans and stuff to put on them. For use on Myspace, LiveJournal, or anywhere you can think. Sort of like my icon? Lol

Let the creative genius flow.

I don't think microsoft will promote this site too much, unless there's a paid commenter.

Default Re: Promotion?

the best promotion would be if you had a real scoop like:

"exclusive! first gameplay footage of halo 3!"

Then all major sites would link to this one, and it'd get alot of attention.
But is could be very difficult to get such media.

Maybe! We can fake some screens, and you make me post it, after a week, when they discover it is fake, then you can blame it on me

You will have the attention then, plus it would not damage your site because everybody will think that it was my action alone, and not to get publicity.

Good idea or what?

We have real scoops regularly, that's how we got where we are now

You might be surprised, but we're doing near to a million pageviews per month on the frontpage already after 4 months. In comparison, Kotaku does about 2.25 million.
