    I would suggest trying to sell your site to twitterfeed.com or twittertorss.com. Im sure either one would be willing to send your traffic to their site...

    in the "feed your twitter via rss" market, twitterfeed seems like number 1 and twittertorss seems like number 2 and your site seems like number 3....just google "rss twitter".

    So I would first try going to twittertorss and tell them they have a better chance of gaining market share if they buy your site, then ask twitterfeed. Its more valuable to twittertorss than it would be to twitterfeed although twitterfeed might have more money to spend. just my 2cents

    There was no promotion or link building.
    Most users came from twitter, every update sent by RSS2twitter has a link to us.
    Check the updates created by RSS2twitter:
    http://search.twitter.com/search?q=url4.eu
    Every update has "xxx minute ago from RSS2Twitter"
