Hi,

I am looking for some ideas on how to market a freelance website. The Project4Hire.com freelance website is relatively new and I am looking to increase the traffic that I get. We all know who the big freelance websites are and I am looking to grab a share of the market from them.

If you have any suggestions or advice, I would love to hear them.

participate on freelance related forums.

Yes, obviously. You have lots of opportunities in developer related (webmaster, java, php, linux...) forums.

By the way, what is the script behind the site? If it is custom made, how much money you spent on it?

I would participate in forums such as here and AdminFusion, posting your services in their buy and sell forums.

Which do you need more... buyers or service providers?

It seems he need more buyers. I have a freelancer account on the site, i don't remember visiting the site, mainly because there is not much project interesting to me.

Need buyers more than anything else. The more people I get to post their projects, the more freelancers will join to bid on the projects. And not the other way around.

Just a thought which may or may not work - Post in craigslist to attract buyers.
