Ideas on advertising
Im getting about 20 unique visitors a day, cant seem to get that # to go up.
Does anybody have any advertising ideas. Affiliate progams and search engine submits have not been very succsessful. thanks

Make people pay or you stuck with banners, or [illegal advice removed]

Your best bet is to attract attention by having good content and having people link to you. Word of mouth is HUGE on the web. Start a linking campaign, encourage and make it really really easy for your readers to link to you. Give them a reason to. Include content they can use on their sites that advertises yours.

I would doubt if your site would be very search engine friendly with all the white space between your head tags. Was it done that way on purpose to try and prevent people from reading your source code? As Suzanne mentioned good content and also having a site that doesn't make people want to leave pretty soon after they get there would be a good idea since they are very unlikely to tell anyone else about the site.

Just for your knowledge...I believe that you should have an easy to find, highly visible disclaimer that each piece of media is property of its respective owners, and is subject to copyright laws...or you could get in legal trouble (example the Bud Light commercial)...
also, it is not a good idea, when you are talking about search engines, to have lots of empty page space at the bottom...no matter if it is intended or not...on you main/index page; as well as you shouldn't have lots of pictures like you do...maybe a more "who we are, here's where you can find the funny stuff" page
Just my opinion...

Responding to the copyright disclaimer suggestion. To make that official and cover my butt. I just need to put that text in a visible spot on my website

This is not in any way a criticism of your ideas and talents...but if you want to compete with the "big boys" of the joke websites and such...should aim to be better than the other websites, not on par with them.
The buttons and logo are hard to read, the navigation is confusing, the background is "amatuerish", and the disclaimer is very untasteful- I would do a total redesign of the page if I were you.

Why not try buying traffic or working on some SEO(Search Engine Optimization) for your site?

Actually I did, I used "Submit it" by b centeral(microsoft). Some one in here told me my page is still not engine friendly. Is there somthing about the submit it program that I missed.

I personally wouldn't use an auto submit program! I don't have any particular proof but I'm sure they are more likely to get a site banned than actually help. Hand submit to the main search engines once you have properly optimised your site, following your keyword research and then wait. Also work on getting links to your site, for both Google PR purposes and also the extra traffic it will hopefully bring you.

It is a long, tedious task but keep at it though as it is worth it in the long run but don't be tempted to sign up to any link farms!
