Need your ideas on driving traffic to movie streaming site

    I am going to launch my movie streaming website, I do embed videos on my site so the visitors can watch the videos directly. But I still have no idea on how to drive more traffic to my site and really need to hear your opinions. And should I pay for SEO service ?

    The real question here would be: Does this site provide anything useful that all the well established sites don't? Be honest with yourself. What is your unique selling point (USP)? Why would/should people use your site? If it's just another streaming site, then you can try to buy traffic and paying for SEO services all day long with very little chance for any success in the long term. As long as you don't add any real value to the existing market, you'll very likely fail. It's the same in any niche: Get to know the niche as good as possible, try to find out what all the providers miss and be the one that provides that. If you have a USP, use that in your advertising strategy. Try it and you'll see what works. You can start with ad networks (like exoclick) and using retargeting services (like adroll). Make sure that you track as much as possible while you test different networks. In terms of SEO you should do it yourself if you want to make sure that your site will not get penalized for shady activities. Make sure everything is well in place on-page and go for the proper link building and social networking. I hope that helps.

    Never had a movie streaming site, but it seems like those sites get organic traffic naturally without or with very little effort (if they are worth stopping by and watching a movie, of course). You should launch it and use all possible social media venues first for a few weeks. If it doesn't take off then you may consider something else after that.

    All the other movies sites are full of ads, my site is ads-free with fast streaming. So I think people would love it. Thank you for your opinion about the ads networks, I will consider putting some banners to cover server cost, won't think about profit till the site is well-known.

    Thank you, will try social media marketing for sure.

    Wasi88 has a point. Make your website stand out from the pack. Offer something unique and different so people will choose you over the competition. Aside from movies, you may offer related content (reviews, movie trivia, etc).

    As for driving traffic to your website, you can start by using social media sites to get the word out. This is probably the easiest way, and free too.

    at first that always sounds like a good notion. If others have ads, then I wont, so people will love
    it, and they most likely will think nothing of it, they watch movies, not ads, and it seems like a
    foolish pipe dream to be ad free forever, before you know it, you cant keep up with BW, then
    may have to get bigger, and bigger server to meet the demand so you can stay online...
    so now you are paying out, paying out, and nothing coming in so others can watch free movies?
    good for the movie watcher, besides the immorality of stealing movies you dont own, and
    to boot, pretty flawed business plan if you ask me, unless you love burning cash, plan to fail.
    movie niche is very tough market, and a few weeks of social media may not cut it...

    Good to hear that your site is ads free with fast streaming people will surely like it but in addition to social media try to use other potential mediums like blog site and other related forums to reach your targeted audience. Build trust and reputation with the users.

    The best way to drive traffic to your websites are like:-
    Don't make SEO so complicated, so that it will take time to generate the traffic.
    The content you will produce for your website should be valuable and attractive.
    Optimize the sharing tools and utilize the social media.
    Implement the effective SEO strategy.
    Build a strong relationship with people.

    You could easily drive traffic for your streaming site. People would always be interested in something free especially a movie. Promoting these on social medias would be easy but be sure to provide information about the quality of your videos. Design it so it would not look like a scam. :D

    Thank you. Since I don't host the movies on my server, I won't have to worry about BW using and server cost. Of course, will have to find a way to make some profit in the future, but my first target is to gain as many visitors as possible. With huge amount of traffic, I can use it on my other projects which will bring me some cash. I really appreciate your input.

    Make sure your movie streaming site is great. Make it unique. Make it so that you would recommend it to your best friend.
    People talk a lot about movies - and they will spread your website if its good.

    They offer real traffic. In fact, I have tried them both and I got great results. You should try them out if you have extra budget.

    Well if you dont have time to do SEO for your website then its better to outsource it. Even then you need to keep track of their performance.
