The more visitors you get the better the value will be. Get yourself a small community ASAP.
Also, call more than one potential client. You could call every medium to large restaurant corporation and every good sized general or news website that wants a link bait feature.
I would also contact local newspapers and offer to make them a regional subdomain that you brand with their name and logo. Like sandiego.yourdomain.com that only shows the san diego region. Get the San Diego Union Tribune to pay you to brand that subdomain with their logo and links to other san diego stuff on their site. Do that for every region in the US, and charge a variable amount per month based on your traffic levels.
Also, release press releases. Try to get picked up by small papers. Potential clients like to see these things.
Good luck.
- x0ner 16y agoThanks a lot for the advice. We got put in a local paper, but there wasn't much action from that. The hardest part of the whole site is that the marketing is literally to everyone and just not one area. With that said, I really like the idea of using subdomains for each location to condense it down. That really helps with the marketing aspect.
- mattmiller 16y agoThats great about getting in the local paper. Local coverage didn't convert a lot of people for us either, but we showed those articles to every client we contacted. I don't know if it helped, but I like to think that it gave us some credibility.
