Need Help Marketing a Website

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by kdbaer, Aug 12, 2008.

    Hello,

    I just bought a website about a month ago. It does paid posting for forums. The previous owner said that the site was getting 350 unique visitors per month.

    The website is a valid PR 2 and is the top result in a Google search for "paid forum boosting."

    I need to figure out how to get more visitors. I've submitted the site to a couple of directories but I'm fairly inexperienced with website SEO.

    Some suggestions would be much appreciated.


    Thanks

    Make some youtube videos promoting it. Then submit each video 5 social bookmarking sites each with different keywords you want to rank well for in Google. That should help quite a bit.

    Write or modify an article and submit it to ezinearticles and goarticles. You should be getting hits no matter how well you rank on google.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I've submitted the site to a bunch of directories and social bookmarking sites.

    I bought 5,000 visitors from Quality Traffic Supply but that was the worst $30 I've ever spent!

    I'm planning on starting a PPC campaign.

    Should I go with Google or are they too expensive?

    Alright, probably the best way to get free targeted visitors with minimal effort is posting on DP. People here often ask for forum posting/population services - just refer them to your website. It's called forum marketing - that's a link to a more in depth article I wrote on it.

    Social bookmarking submission is one of a good technique to get traffic and get backlink such as digg, stumbleupon,reddit etc.

    I am also very inexperience with SEO.
    But I starting with backlinks.

    http://www.specialaunch.com/go
    It's my new site where you can post SPECIAL OFFERS (not offer anywhere else)
    In return I just want a backlink.

    If you have products to sell at special price, then you can post it there.
    I might be changing some rules there. read it.

    BTW: There is a new special offer that you can get ONLY on 14th August 08GMT to 17th August 08 GMT. It's a new script by me.

    ppc is a fast way to get traffic but if you dont know what your doing it can be dangerous. try writing articles and link to your site. give back to forums with what you know and put your website in your sig.

    PPC can be expensive depending on how many people are bidding on your keywords. Do you have time to promote the site yourself?

    If you do have time to put in I'll list a ton of free ways to drive traffic to your site.

    P.S. Don't waste your time or money buying 'quality targeted traffic', their just false visitors, trust me I used to own a traffic selling website and washed my hands of it straight away.

    I have about an hour a day that I could spend promoting the site. I've been paying some people to get my backlinks from the social bookmarking sites. I'm also planning on advertising on DP and writing a couple of articles.

    Any other ideas?

    Hi,

    It seems since your site is very specialised, you'll at least need to get highly targeted traffic. I would suggest advertising your site in Forums that allow such activity. Since there are lots of marketers who hang around in forums, I don't think you'll go too far. Start here and then flick over to the (WF) and I hope that I have not just commited forum suicide by mentioning the WF.

    Hope that helps,

    Good luck
