How to Promote Your Website
I've been incredibly active in promoting my Etsy store over the last few months. For those of you out there in need of ways to advertise, here are sites i have used or considered using. Many of these i obtained from the forums on etsy. others i've come across on my own. Others are online selling venues where you can set up shop and sell your wares! in any case, i hope they're helpful!
Advertise, Market, and Promote!

Thanks for sharing these. I should get through them in about, 2 lifetimes.
Found your blog through a google search for promoting Etsy Store. I have linked your list from www.helixelemental.blogspot.com
We have found one more site that you can add to your list under set up shop. check out http://www.MadeitMyself.com.
It is free to Set up and Free to List for the time being. I get lots of traffic there but haven't yet sold anything. Still early.
I plan to be updating this again in the near future, folks... more links are on their way!
updated today!
I found this excellent list through a link in an Etsy forum, and I'd like to suggest IndieSpotting.com, a new photo gallery-style site dedicated to indie and handmade goods. It's a free way to promote your Etsy store!
thx, Erika! I'll add it to the list!

Wow, this is an extensive list, will take some time to check them out one by one.
This post has been removed by the author.
Thanks for all the work you put into on this list! I make handbound photo albums and other papergoods, like journals and address books. As a newcomer to Etsy, I'm looking for ways to promote my store, and undoubtedly this will prove invaluable.

Hi,
Good information I learned more
Thank You for all the great info, I knew about some of them but alot I did'n know about. Thanks for your hard work!!!!!
One quick question: about avatars and banners I've tried and tried to get mine up but nothing works. I bet I've got 10 photo editing sofeware on my computer and none will let you change the size to 760 by 100 for banner if you change the 100 it changes the other automaticily.Any info you can provide will help!!????
Wow, great information mate thanks a lot for sharing will be bookmarking your blog for future references, will check out your list over the weekend, thanks again.
