I fully agree with you that there is no sense at all in the beginning to spent money on advertisements just to direct traffic to your site when you do not even have reasonably enough contents to justify it. People tends to ignore new blog in my opinion. <em>Yan's last blog post..<a href='http://thoushallblog.com/datmoney-get-traffic-contest' rel="nofollow">DatMoney’s “Get Traffic” Contest!
