    I think that I've made innovative website and maybe potentiality money-making site.
    I tried to advertise on facebook and other websites, I distributed press release, But I cannot see progress.
    This is the site http://www.onebillionbytes.com
    My biggest problem is lack of money
    Can you give me some advices?

    Maybe I'm just dumb, I don't really see the point in your site and what its supposed to be? A file host? It seems a little expensive too(if it is a file host) - I was looking at another ad on this forum the other day where they were offering 10GB Space and 250GB Bandwidth for free.

    Hi, Kuna. First of all, I think you need a better web design than what you have now. Your website is the primary marketing tool for your business, so this should be eye-catching and well laid out. You work on getting a great web design first and all else will follow for you. Hope you are ok with this bit of constructive criticism. Good luck.

    Maybe you don't have patient, doing SEO is not instantly you see the result, but take to time to wait and see a better result, just continue what you are doing.

    You need a strong sales message on the first page. When I arrived at your site I didn't understand what it was about. Actually I have still no idea. You need a specific message to your visitors about what your site is all about and why they should use it and why they should pay money to use it.

    Your visitors shouldn't have to think at all.

    yes Slymarketing, first he need to consult with marketing experts or sales massage. Second, thing you need to redesign your website because any body visit your site. He will not easily understand that what services your are providing. So, please redesign it and give attractive looks...............

    Your title is not describing your theme. And also it is not attractive. Not even of average standard. Re-build your site. Give proper title and description. No matter if you don't have money to spend your website. All millionaires were poor once :) Download template for FREE. Discuss seo topic here on DP. All things would be settled very soon. Be patient at the moment. Goood luckkkkkkk

    Do an onpage optimization first to fix title, keyword density, h1 tag etc. Then give your site some free quality backlink by social network submit.

    The site needs a complete redesign, add alot more text to get it in the SE's and some backlinks and tell the customer what they are paying for, as mentioned above i dont have any idea what the site is and clicked off about about 15 seconds. Set up analytics also to get an idea of what people are doing.

    I think you have to do directory submission and forum posting. It will give you good links.

    you need a clear and simple frontside. it's a bit difficult to understand at first sight, what's it all about.

    I understood completely what the site's purpose is. Clever domain name. I use similar sites for backlinks, but they are all free. The links at the free sites exist in the user profile, which I did not see available at your site for free.

    Hey,

    1. You need a beautiful website & quality content.

    2. You have to work hard everyday at building backlinks to your site. Therefor it will increase it's visiablilty and it will rank higher in google if you build relevant back links. The key is to build relevent back links not back links from a site that has nothing to do with it. Develop a basic knowledge of "SEO" implement this into your content. From here on out is mainly about persistance & determination to figure out any obstacle in your path.

    Those are my 2 cents.

    God bless,
    William Veasley

    You should definitely try to spruce up your site a little more...it just kinda blends together...it doesnt really catch your eye. Also you dont need money to get the word out about your site...Make sure you use the social media to your advantage...its free!! Use facebook, twitter, youtube, post things one blogs and forums everyday!!! BE CONSISTENT!!!!! Good Luck!

    Even after looking through some of the "As Seen On" links, I still don't understand how this is supposed to benefit me. My best guess is that I could upload a text file with a KB worth of URLs in it and a snazzy filename for $1 and hope that someone downloads it and visits the URL. Though, I'd probably have better luck seeding torrents that do the same thing as they'd reach a HUGE audience and I wouldn't have to pay $1.

    Landing page...
    You need a landing page as most people need to be told what the site is about and how it can benefit them.

    If you take a marketing sales course the most important thing they teach you is sell people on benefits not features. For example my car has a inline6 300hp engine, if your trying to get a person to stop and pay attention tell them the car is very fast.

    Stop to watch a tv ad with this information and watch how they just tell you the benefits and hardly ever will mention features and if they do, well its right along side with benefits.

    I land on your page and scratch my head on what the site is for.
    Like most people you have about 10 seconds to catch my attention before I go somewhere else.
