ColdFusion is certainly promoted on Adobe's website, and the link adobe.com/products clearly states ColdFusion 9 there.
I am not sure why you think that they would not promote it on their own website, however nobody will disagree with you that Adobe should be doing more to market it better. ColdFusion Builder is also promoted with Flash as well as with ColdFusion, in fact if you buy ( I assume it is still the case) Flash Builder 4 you get ColdFusion Builder free. I agree that to buy the thing on its own is very pricey when you consider the alternatives, and what other langauges do offer as well. Evangalists will tell you that you are needing to do more to promte the product, but in my opinion it should be Adobe doing this not people who are not paid to do it. I see people advertising for ColdFusion marketing their adds to the one market, well here in Australia at least. There is nothing wrong with trying to get people with a diverse knowledge and good analytic skills, these types can program in almost anything. Instead they complain that they can't get developers, because they advertise it wrong. Then because of that these people then begin to look elsewhere for their technologies as well. There are a lot of factors involved in this, but resources seems to be the main one.
