Progressing at a Snails Pace

I can honestly say I have never had as much trouble getting a site going as this one.

My little promotions for the welcome to my town seem to be totally ineffective and I just can't work out why at present.

I put in almost 8 hours on this (till well after 2am) last night and still don't have even one submission. It seems very few people have any hometown spirit anymore, although apathy is probably the more likely culprit.

I was trying to avoid it but I may have to pull out the big guns, Google Adwords. Paying for adwords for people to come to a site without adds, offering almost a grand/month prizemoney seems insane but I am getting very close to that.

The way I have decided to approach this is definitely hobbling my efforts. Not allowing myself, family or friends to write seed stories, means that I am totally dependant on outside parties igniting the spark that hopefully will become a flame.

Perhaps I am expecting too much too soon.
