    Hi, My site is about Barack obama. It is about 4 months old. I am just struggling to get more hits. I dont know what to do. Here is what i've done:

    - Created sitemap and submitted it to google
    - Created articles and posted to a number of article directories
    - Submitted my site to a number of directories
    - Posted messages in political blogs with anchor text leading back to my site
    - Posted my site on craigslist
    - Update my site once a week
    - Submitted my site on Digg and Stumbleupon

    My target keywords are Barack Obama Bio, 2008 Presidential elections, Barack Obama, Barack Obama Trivia, Obama Videos, Obama quotes, Barack obama Antichrist.

    Still i get about 40 hits per day at most. I am not sure what is going on. Please advice.

    my site is http://www.whois-barack-obama.com

    thanks.

    Hey man I know how you feel! Getting traffic to a website isn't easy and in the end is a really tiring and steady a process. You have to be very dedicated to accomplish what you're trying to do and you must have good content! Getting traffic is one thing, keeping traffic is another. But you're here to pass the first step and that getting traffic to your site! First off let me start by saying you should have your RSS feed in your profile options on. Even if I was in the mood to read your blogs I couldn't you have no feed :)

    Here's a really great site I know about bloggeries.com and they have lots of tools for blog marketing and resources that can help you understand where you need to start and find out where you're actually going. Perhaps you got ahead of yourself and now you waiting for it too all catch up!

    Ahhh my favorite of all will be facebook.com Start inviting all your friends to you facebook and once you get a good 300 ++ friends start creating groups for them to join by sending then group invitations. Create a group called Vote for "whoever group" You can actually make that group your blog homepage!!!!!!

    Forums Signatures are the blood life when you're starting out! make sure you use your four signatures even if each signature are pointing to different blogs you released. This was you will get traffic to many of your blogs and someone will be interested in one off the topics. If I'm correct you will have hits as the Americans will be voting soon and if your words are wise people will return to hear your words :rolleyes:

    Continue doing what you're doing and you will get traffic. Don't stop and every minute you have get it done! Also try and make decent posts in the forums. People tend to like learning something from every post.

    Try to anyways sometimes you just can't help it.

    Well, a blog could help you in promoting your site. Another proven method to boost site traffic is thru Social Bookmarking

    you should be consistent with the things that you should do, have a regular blog update as possible and also take note that when joining in some community sites don't just focus on just placing your links... if possible be friendly with the member so that when they love you your site will also be love...
