    Hi
    My website is up and running www.teach-abroad.info

    However I can't seem to get many visitors. In fact my revenue from adsense has been about $0.25 a day?

    Where am I going wrong?:mad:

    What do I need to do?:confused:

    Anybody?:(

    Is your website properly indexed....
    how many back links you have....
    add more unique content to the site...
    try PR, article submission, blogging, and read DP as much as possible...

    I offer every visitor $50 cash :0

    Start writing some content that you think will attract a large range of people. Really need to get creative in your thinking.

    Hello,
    This is the problem with everyone. try to,
    Reduce the number of ads
    Reduce the font size
    Increase text contents.
    Add unique content.
    Doing that will help you to get more visitors.

    First, Submit your site to google, yahoo, msn and other search engines, get your self into google sitemaps, submit links to your website to directories. update your content daily and work hard at first. when you update your content update your sitemap for google sitemaps.

    You can do all this but if your site is not indexed it wont be found.

    Start by submitting your site to directories. Plenty of them around here... Get linked to other sites that are within the same subject or theme as yours. Press release, get blogged by someone. Adword maybe. Putting your link in your signature, going to other forums related to your site and ever so slightly plugging your site.

    Not necessary to update the site daily... update often maybe add new content every 1-2 weeks. Get RSS content in your site.

    Read, read, read DP forum. Search is your friend.

    Good luck.


    and fix your site... It's sooo 90's.

    also, some of your pages are violating the adsense TOS, by telling people to click on the links

    there is very little - if any - useful content on the site

    1) You need to change site template;
    2) publish 20 solid articles;
    3) submit to 30 directories: for ideas see: http://www.seocompany.ca/directory/web-directories.html
    4) build more links to your site as well add new content;

    say for new site, 10 links a week + 5 articles a week will ensure quite good growth over the couple of months

    Posting on forums and submitting your articles are also great ways to attract visitors.

    Optimize your site. Search Engines will give you tons of traffic if you get no.1 to a keyword you are targeting. Start by reading this http://www.seomoz.org/beginners.php.

    No offense but I think you need to redesign your site, It looks unprofessional..

    Regards

    Thanks Guys
    The advice is really appreciated. I will sort out my site. DP won't let me give you my website as I am still new. I'll let you know as soon as I can.
    Thanks

    I also have a new website and was wondering how to get listed in Google. I am finally showing up in MSN for a couple of keywords but it seems impossible to get in Google. Good luck with your site!

    You'll probably have to pay to get noticed quickly on google, otherwise it takes a high page rank, specific keyword optimization, a lot of coherent links, and just persistance.

    Try to get your site out there through constant blogging, newsletters, opt in lists, and just by paying for ppc search engines you can boost sales and traffic.
