Here's the solution to all of the independant merchants who want their stuff to be noticed. Submit your product related freebies to Rendo's freestuff. Announce said freebies in the freesuff forum where it belongs and then link directly to the freebies on your site. Once the people see your site just make sure you have banners to all your nifty merchandise show up on said freebie page and ta da! You have your advert built into your own site and you advertised it with a freebie available in the freestuff here. Simple. Elegant. Solved.

If that means you have to package the basic textures to your product as a freebie and then uploading that here. So be it. The texture only works on your product and you make it highly visible that the freebie is an ADD ON to merchandise only available on your site.
