Pixyworld doesn't exactly have a huge advertising budget these days. It's basically sweat-it-out, knock on zillions of e-doors, and hope somebody puts up my link somewhere.
I do have a very nice reciprocal link directory, by the way, in case you're interested.
Now, someone came up with a clever idea when they invented linkmarket.com. What better way for a starving designer to feel like she is shopping, when she's actually working?? You get a shopping cart and everything -- it almost brings a tear to the eye.
You don't have to understand... just nod and smile. I'll be OK. (Especially when I make it to a 4!!)
