62. infomercial. Find a couple of sponsors (people to place their own commercials) to pay for the air time.
63. CafePress.com
64. DayTipper.com. It's small, but still may be of some use.
65. Ask owners of message boards how they got traffic. They are more likely to open up more than an owner of a regular site. Most won't, but many will.
Some of them are funny but there are also a lot of really good ones in the list too, as i type this im talking to a designer about getting a bunch of magnetic car plaques made up for Evidence Wipe for the entire family and some friends to put on their cars hehe
Regards,
Lee
