YouTube.com
YouTube is a great way to get information about your website or business in front of potentially millions of people. The key is to create a video which provides information about a subject that people want to know in an entertaining and highly relevant fashion. Embed your website's url in the frame of that video so that people who want to know more about the topic will naturally visit your site. I've also see people embed urls in the description of their video. Use as MANY relevant keywords as you can think of without spamming.
