You should have promoted after getting the domain name. I don't see much good sites who change their name after they get famous. If you have budget, it is a good idea to start your signature campaign after you got hosted with a new name. This will give you good traffic. Also not all forums pay per post, if your forum have something unique and interesting it will still become famous.

Yes, this tread failed to serve its purposes like how it looks promising with its subject-line as OP is focusing on their own website rather than providing a list within the open-post. I guess this types of topic should be ignored by this community when people try to promote their personal things through this forum whereas if they are really up to the point what they promise then they must provide all the necessary things here in this forum itself and with optional way by linking their other personal stuff.

@OP,
Instead of ONLY trying driving traffic to your site, take time to manage both the things (a well versed/up to date OP and your site) so that people will start loving your all services.
