It seems like we need more users to really get this beta going. How do you guys want to promote this site? The easy solution is to post on popular poker forums like 2+2. Any other sites we should post on? Any other ideas for generating traffic/users?

Good ideas, in other way StackExchange can buy payed ads on other poker sites to poker stackexchange and community can do banners for this advertising campaign.

Grinderschool.com does a weekly poker podcast. At some point in the future I would be open to doing a segment in which I interview about the Poker Stackexchange site. Things are too hectic to fit it in for the next few weeks, but we can sort out the details between now and then if there its someone here who would want to be interviewed.

I would do that. I'm a computer programmer that was a stackoverflow guy before the other sites started popping up. Best Question and Answer software on the net. – k to the z Feb 10 at 14:39
Who would we interview? Top users? A SE community activist? – Chris Marasti-Georg♦ Feb 10 at 15:01
I would think a top user would make the most sense. I was thinking you or Toby would be the most likely candidate, but I'm not ruling out k-to-the-z. We have some time to figure it out, if we want to go that way. – Jeffrey Blake♦ Feb 11 at 2:59

I have a friend who founded a startup that specializes in Word Of Mouth marketing, amongst other friends who are directly employed in marketing companies.

SE sites are mostly community/volunteer driven from what I understand so growing the user base would exponentially increase our traffic if we can instill an ethos of promoting through the users.

Maybe some "Guerilla" style marketing, using fly posting, sponsored swag poker tournaments, even a community curated idea for a short film that promotes poker.se across well known video sharing sites.

Just sounding off ideas.

(edit: Poker.SE could even get into sponsoring people for tournaments to increase exposure.)

Sponsored swag tournaments sounds fantastic. I wonder if we could get stickers that we could leave in casino poker rooms? – Chris Marasti-Georg♦ Feb 14 at 3:26
Stickers are what I had in mind. Leave them outside local casinos here in London, that kind of thing. Some sponsored events would perhaps be even cheaper than traditional advertising routes, and would target the influential people socially as well. – Toby Booth♦ Feb 14 at 16:30

Just thought, if we do get tournaments going for PokerStack, we could offer a special badge and maybe some rep points for winning. – Toby Booth♦ Feb 17 at 15:50
