Hey, SMF community!  ;D

I apologize for this essay of a post, but by the end of it you will have a new way to promote your forum and at least 100 unique visitors, guaranteed!

I am a University student in the UK studying business. Part of my end of year assignment is to create a "service that is useful to a community", making it as successful as possible over the summer. So, since I <3 'SMF' I thought I would try to offer a service that benefits the SMF community. After a lot of pondering... I realized that it is actually really tricky to promote a new forum, especially on a tight budget!

My solution? A website that promotes any SMF forum for free!

I'm assuming you are like "Yeh, big whoop buddy"... but hear me out. There is no point promoting on a website that has no visitors right? Exactly.. so my University was kind enough to provide me with backlinks on their PR 7 website, for the keywords "how to promote a forum for free". They will also be sending out a bulk email to the 21,000+ students that receive their weekly newsletter.

I have two weeks before the newsletter is sent out and I'm assuming it should take a couple of weeks for my website to be indexed.

So, I need some forums to promote! If you provide me with a URL I will add your forum to the front page of my website, it is first come first serve I'm afraid. My target is to promote 50 forums in 2 weeks so I could really use your help guys.

I realized I can't add it to the list since it isn't a forum, but I have 125x125 advertising space available for free if anyone wants to send me a banner. I will release the URL soon so that you can vote and comment on your forums.
