My idea for an image hosting site would be something like, get some pens or something with the sites name on, then someone needs to upload an image and they're trying to think where to upload it and voila! There's a pen with your url on right in front of them.
What I'm trying to say is, to really break through in that market you'll have to think outsite the normal online marketing confines.

I like your approach to thinking, but when you look at this in depth, it's not very practical. Take the bulk cost for say, 10,000 pens. Cheaply, say 15 cent each. Which works out to $1,500 - quite a lot. How many of those people do you think will use the site? And then how many of those will generate revenue on the site by some sort of PPC? Each person would need to generate 15 cent of revenue for you to break even.
Having said that, I don't have another idea yet
