i completely agree, a marketing effort is needed. no one has tried anything yet, and no solid ideas have come forward..

Considering the fact that we indeed need to Scale up our efforts on the marketing front,
I decided to first run a check about vergecurrency.com website ranking in Alexa (found out that there is another website vergecurrency.info, is this a parked domain for redirection?? is it owned by the community?? if not we need to acquire it & use as a traffic redirect)

Alexa numbers are disappointing, you can view them here >> http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/vergecurrency.com
also checked for Google Page rank of the site : 0/10

The most basic thing that we can do is start creating in pointing links from high traffic & page ranked sites.
This can be done using article marketing, by including the website in high quality web directories like dmoz, yahoo etc.
We can also buy Back links from High PR sites

A majority of the traffic that lands on the site is:

direct visits - 60.82%
traffic from followed links - 23.74%
search traffic (by the keywords) - 14.33%
traffic from social media - 1.12%

these figures above are estimates & can be verified from >> http://checkpagerank.net/index.php or you can also try other Page rank checker sites

Article marketing, site inclusion in high quality web directories, an active twitter account (w/ handle) shall start showing slow but sure results.
Advertising the site on High traffic PTC websites can also start creating some traction for the currency, promoting the verge faucet is also a good idea. (can be promoted on neobux.com, clicksense.com etc)

I don't want to get over board by posting this info above, if any body from the forums have worked on this, then in that case i shall not reinvent the wheel & focus on what needs to be done to achieve the results as we want.

Just my two cents

(How can I add my own signature? & avatar/image ?? >> please guide)

yes i own vergecurrency.info, and .net and .org as well =]

They should be at least redirected to homepage. Better yet, small articles (unique) about the currency and with a link to the homepage.

Divine, I'm into SEO and SEAD and believe everything you said is correct, but I wouldn't put much weight on the alexa and google ranks. The domain was first registered a few months ago. Dev, you might want to take the 5 mins. to register the site at dmoz.org as it does help. Additionally, and hoping you're open to constructive criticism, the description on the page sucks (SEO speaking) and the logo and header links are missing 'title' or 'alt' text associating it with verge. The google robots can't know that's the Verge logo or those links are to verge spec, verge wallets, verge pools, etc. The anchor text used for link also have no relation to verge or xvg. It would also help if your classes were named xvg-something or verge-something. fa fa-gears or fa fa-lock have absolutely no relevance. It all count and helps.

THe strategy should include keyword analysis to figure what potential investors are searching for and use those words/terms in the website, advertising text, titles and any inline links.

ill definitely rename the classes n add to the headers.. and point the other domains to the main site. we do show up when u search private cryptocurrency, and ill work on getting more results up under that as well.
