Project Description:

Hi, I run a small website which has recently been recoded and relaunched due to the previous software randomly deleting members.

Unfortunately the majority of the old members have not made the move to the new site, the member count dropped from about 500 to 100 at relaunch, since grown to 153 and we figure about 30 or 40 are actually using the site.

So we need to build our membership back up, and that would be your job.

We need to build up, through promotion on other related sites - forums, blogs, directorys etc and get our members back to the 500 mark... with the majority actually being active.

We will not condone the use of spam or any black/Grey hat tactics to do this.
No links from adult, gambling, illegal, warez based sites... only ones with RELATED content. This is the most important factor and we would expect a list of all sites to check.

We would also appreciate and SEO tips and suggestions, although these would be done ourselves.

PM for more information and url

Just to clarify, you dont have to get us 500 members to complete the project... we currently bring in about 5 new members a week without any advertising... this is what we will look at for an increase
