it really depends on your niche, if you post the url then someone might take a while and maybe help you out a bit or give a tip.

Hi gavpedz.

 

Firstly, whatever you do, do NOT submit your website to auto-hits websites. Yes, they get you hits, and it looks cool in your website statistics - but these are exactly as described (automated). As sunlust said, you need to find your niche market, which is crucial information when it comes to website and business promotion.

 

What kind of website do you operate?

Hello,

 

Increased web traffic:

 

1) Commenting on others blogs:

When you add a comment on a blog, they get indexed and you get a backlink.

In the comment field, enter your name, website URL, email address and comment. Please

DO NOT include a link in the comment or it will be marked as a spam by akismet or the

administrator. Comment on useful blogs and not on all blogs which you find. Comment something useful

rather than commenting “wow thanks”, “nice tips” , “thanks nice post” ..

 

2) Directory Submission

Submit your site to directories and free directories, they might cost a bit, but they are good, find

some free and paid directories here These directories better your PR and increase your backlinks

 

3) Link Exchange

If you are new to the term Link Exchange then please read this post about Doing link exchange

 

4) Participate in Forums

Use your site link with a nice anchor text on the signatures of Forums. Keep posting on forums and they would

probably increase your backlinks. Don’t make them spammy as they would be deleted by the moderators there at the forums.

You can search for forums or I know a few of them:

Digital Point Forums

SitePoint Forums

SEO.com Forums

Web Talk Forums

 

 

You would be interested in finding more !

Here's a suggestion: place a carefully worded free ad. Some of these website adverts are permanent, some just for 30 days. (topclassified.co.uk is permanent)

 

Find some others in Yahoo http://uk.search.yahoo.com

by typing in "Free Ads online in the UK" and this should bring up a list of dozens of sites where you can place free adverts.

 

Use google analytics to evaluate the effect. Hope this helps!

50% of my site traffic comes from sites where my links are on so that is highly recommended (backlinks in forums)

thnks

Small point

 

If you get 3000 visitors a day who never buy anything, is that better than 7 every day that do???

Hi,

 

I am a big user of my sites statistics and what I do is to see where my visitors come from and how they found it.

 

And also as mentioned earlier, find out where the visitors that buy, sign up or what it is that you want to achieve come from.

 

Then focus your marketing/promotion of your site on those.

 

Best of luck

I have just started a new website the other day. I am willing to link exchange with you.

 

Please email me at contact@borellus.com if you are interested

I suggest adding your website to social bookmarking websites.

well, what's your theme of your forum? And what so special when some one wants to post in your forum?

 

some suggestion add adsense revenue sharing. Users can earn some cash by posting some useful posts in the forums

2.) define a narrower niche.. I don't see any niche you want to do with your forum. Seems to me you have everything, but consider one narrower at start probably a better idea for example, software development, php development, psp games, xbox games etc.

 

3.) keep adding more content in your forums and also write some useful articles that related to your niche. post the articles on different sites which include your forum links.

 

 

anyway hopes that help
