Or perhaps offer advertising in exchange for counter space and gift certificates to be given away in a (monthly?) contest on the website. Maybe offer to host retailer's pages if they don't have a site yet. Register with as many free and appropriate guides/search engines/web rings as you can. Put up as much good content as you can to get search hits. With the '6 Degrees' logic, someone in NC may come across the site and forward the link to a gamer he knows in KS. Net advertising prices have dropped due to low click-through rates; you might find it worthwhile to do a few banner ads. For example: http://www.wichitalinks.com/advertise.html Get an easy to spell/remember domain name. Put it on a magnetic sign on your vehicle. You might want to make a simple WML/HDML version of the site so people can hit it with new cell phones. > On the site, give local gamers a place to make their mark, such as a > character gallery or a place to display information about their > games.
