For warez sites? Seriously? Be anonymous or your ass is up for some pounding lol.

Newspaper is realy a bad idea, unless u have got a legal site.

For a legal site, there's many way to promote your site, like buy a banner, stick your banner on bus, train lol, buy ads from your local net provider, they'll show your ads during tv shows. Stick your banner just outside of schools, colleges etc. etc.
Rockstar Reviewed by Rockstar on . Promoting your forum off the web It?s time to think outside the box. Most of the promotion we do to our forum is purely online. 1) The easiest method of promoting is actually telling people that you have a forum. 2) Try advertising in your local newspaper. Getting advertisement spots is really easy but sometimes can be a bit expensive 3) On a Local Radio Show (In the rush hours, of course). 4) Create a few hundred business cards and ask for them to be put up in related shops.
