Hey peoples,

I'm actually starting to plan an marketing campaign to a site I have left sleeping for too long.
The site is http://www.web-screenshots.com
For once, It propose a real service: It allows subscriber to take a screenshot of any size, of any web page accessible without being logged in without watermarks.

I did realize this as a challenge 2 years ago, thought it could do a decent service, and built a web site around it, but never promoted it.
You know, I'm more the guy that will spend 14 hours straight on the code to have it right, but who just don't care about marketing. Everyone his field.

But now, I really want to promote this thing.
I've tried adwords, some times ago, and it brought lot of peoples, on relatively cheap keywords, but it was just money thrown through the window, as nearly no one was going past the first page.
I tried to be objective in the design and the redaction of the pages, as for the layout of information, so I'm inclined to think that it was just not the right public.

Now, the kind of target I aim with a service like that is more related to webmasters and web designers, I think.
And I'm nearly certain that a direct campaign on dedicated sites would be more effective than adwords.

But I don't know much of them. In fact, appart webmaster-talk, I don't know any.
And don't even mention digital pointless, I simply don't want to have anything to do with those kind of peoples. There are only scammers there.

So, as a member of this trusted forum, where would be the places that you think a product like that one would/could be effectively promoted ?

I'll get you perhaps a better list of suggestions later, but you might want to let a few webzines and tech blogs test out your service for free. If they like it, they'll blog about it and that will bring in plenty of traffic to start. Other than that, you can always submit it to directories. (I'll add it to my resources section on my site). Or you can consider partnerships with a few select webmaster sites (they advertise, you let them use it for free, etc...). There's some webzines listed in the miscellaneous section of this thread that you might want to check out.

Thanks Virtuosi.

The partnership was exactly what I had in mind, the problem was that I didn't knew where to find partners.
I'll go check that thread content now.
