Hi Jan,
First off, actually there are lots of ways to promote your site, one of which is social media and I consider it to be the most effective way in advertising your site nowadays. I am not exactly sure what you mean by using analytics for site promotion though.
Currently I still haven’t done any marketing or site promotions because the site is still not yet 100% finished but I am planning to do social media marketing after everything is final. And regarding the newsletter, yes, I wasn’t able to place it yet on the site but will do so in the following days, thanks for pointing it out.
