The relevant content is almost entirely want-ads.  Gamer seeking gamer,
gamer with stuff to sell, gamer with stuff to buy.  While all ads will be
moderated, it won't be long and I'll have it all automated to the point
that I just checkmark ads I approve and they'll get posted automatically.  
It certainly won't be a full-time job.

Other content is editorial-type stuff commenting on the local scene and
the discussion groups, which will get along just fine with little
intervention.  (That we've got down pat, it being our core business.)

I've got the keywords thing down fine.  We've been promoting web sites on
the web for a few years now.  I'm trying to figure out how to promote it
off the web.
