I am exploring other ways and found a couple of free sites that look quite interesting and free to join.

US Free ads seem to be a good place to promote your sites and Google seems to love them.  I know when I put my site(s) in there and did a search they showed up quite quickly.  Plus they are getting views.

I just joined something quite new and it seems to be quite advanced and will provide an excellent networking environment plus they are giving away 10% in shares to the members.

Ojeez.  Did I say that? lol

Anyway, take care and best wishes to you.
