    The must for advertising products/services is to first and foremost
    BUILD THE BUZZ. It's like starting a fire, you have to strike the match first.

    Of course there are unlimited ways to build a buzz here in the internet but I think the most effective way is (as what companies always use) to use bloggers as the advertising tools.

    You can sign up for an advertiser account at Blogvertise
    (http://www.blogsvertise.com/?rid=b1218 ). They have an army of bloggers ready for your tasks and the advertiser interface is great. I suggest that you find through blogs that would be relevant to your product/site (the advertiser account feature will make this real easy). In this way, your advertisement is well targeted to your niche and hopefully it can attract customers.

    The price varies depending on the quality and popularity of the blogs you wish to advertise your site (of course the more popular the blog is, the higher the chances you can reach a larger audience). But prices can get pretty cheap as low as $2 per review.

    Good luck, I hope your Online Seafood Market will turn successful.
