Resurrecting and monetizing my short story site

Hi all,

not been around for a very long time, so doubt if any/many remember me!

I got some great advice here back when I started my short story site (in sig). But it has sat near enough idle for a while, and I've recently decided to get off my lazy backside and make something of it.

Here's my conundrum; I have a budget of nothing, but want to gradually build a little income from the site. But to do this I need to get some more decent traffic to it as well.

So far I have added Adbrite to it, as I gave up trying to reactivate adsense (long story!). I've not had much luck as the ads aren't relevant at all, so I'll probably have another tryr with google's support people. I've added a few clickbank product links which I'll build on further down the line, plus I've created a page on Facebook which is linked to within the site, forum and any automated emails. Also, I've put an AddThis widget on every page, which seems to have been made use of quite well so far.

My first aim is to at least cover the hosting costs etc... moving on to getting a little money to throw in to advertising with any luck.

Any advice on next steps would be fantastic!
