> This has to be brief, I'm really rushed

> Bullet points:

> - SE traffic will provide a lot of sales.
> - Build an optimized site for your domain.
> - Your domian should be something like
> flash-templates-free.com.
> - On your site have recip links to at least
> 5 other flash templates sites (your strategy
> is draw in the freebie seekers and then sell
> them a premium service).
> - Then set up about 30 other domains on the
> flash template theme, all of them yours and
> all of them linking to your main site.
> - Set up another domain about flash web
> design, and on it have a link to your main
> site and your 30 other doamins. Hand submit
> this site to all the SEs. Submit it to DMOZ.
> - Let the free template sites give away your
> samples (your samples have links to your
> main site). An example of a place to submit
> samples is http://oswd.org/ Open Source
> Web Design. I just noticed you can also
> submit templates to freelayouts.com. I guess
> this is the give out free samples tactic.
> - Like I said your SE strategy is to draw in
> traffic looking for free templates and then
> upsell them like
> http://www.freelayouts.com/ does.
> - If you want to have a dignified premium
> site you could bleed traffic into it from
> your free template site. This dignified site
> would be the one that you used Dave's advice
> and normal internet marketing tactics on.
> - Exchange links with all the other template
> sites to bleed off traffic.
> - Use Dave Vallieres's advice.
> - Use the normal internet marketing tactics
> like article submissions.
> - Yes, this is a lot of work, you're into
> the 110 hours a week level if you do this.

> Disclaimer: these are just off the top
> ideas, and I welcome being shot down if
> they're not applicable to what you're doing.
> These ideas may not be applicable to you or
> anyone else and I offer no warranties of any
> kind.

> Hope this was helpful.

> Best,
