Quality Ways To Promote My Humor Site?

I knew when I started evilname.net in November that it probably wouldn't be an instant hit. However I knew that if I kept building content I'd eventually have a huge site with greater potential. The scheme is mostly built around creating funny images that have the site tagline in them, so that theoretically as they get shared out on forums and social media they'll act as banner ads for me.

So far no progress. My site counter only identified 1 visitor besides the Google Bot, and that was some guy from the Philippines

I'm steadily building a Twitter following (for about a week now) but I'm aware that many of the people following me are also following thousands of other people. So it's difficult to say how much impact that will have in the long run.

I posted a few images to Reddit, but that was like pissing into a waterfall.

Just started to look into link exchanges and whatnot, but again I have 0 traffic to offer them in return.

Fortunately the site doesn't cost much to upkeep, and I'm by no means giving up, but it would sure be nice to have at least one visitor here and there. What are some other ways to jump start this? Thanks.

 

just try to buy some pop-ups and if the content is engaging your users will end up sharing your content on social media and you will start building up some traffic your way

 

Try instagram. You can comment and like photos to get people to follow you or buy followers. Have your site on the photos you share and in your bio. Share the photos using hashtags and you can also buy traffic to get even more people coming to your site. Good luck!

 

starting posting on social sites, it will help you to get visitors

 

Thanks, I try to stand out. You made a good point about Facebook, and so I've now created an Evilname Facebook page. Hopefully it takes off.

As for forums, it seems like every time I find a humor forum on Google it turns out they only get posts every couple of months. I suspect Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit have monopolized internet humor. However maybe I can post in the "other" and "off topic" sections of other successful forums. I'll look into it.

 

If your adding content you can optimize that content and then do some backlinking with different anchor text. Create a plan like a structure for your business and use junks of time throughout the day to complete activities.

 

Social media is your friend. Especially Reddit for funny images. Also...do you know if you're showing up in Google/Bing/Yahoo? If you're not, it might not hurt to get on their Webmaster tools sites and get your page indexed.

 

I get jokes and humor newsletters delivered to my email inbox every day. They seem to support themselves with newsletter advertising. You may want to consider strategies for building up a newsletter list and a loyal following that way.

 

Pinterest is another good image site especially if your "pins" also appear on Twitter snd FB, you have that sharing option on that site.
