    Getting some good, and keyword rich content would definitely help you!

    1. Write every day.

    2. Comment on other blogs (meaningful comments, though; not spam)

    3. Participate in forums such as this.

    4. Include your blog address on business cards and email signatures.

    5. Be creative (i.e. I sold the Iranian government on eBay. Got several hundred readers that way. If you're handy with a video camera Youtube works wonders).

    6. Submit your posts to social bookmarking sites such as Digg.

    7. Post the occasional ad on Craiglist (figure free never hurts)

    8. Encourage readers to stay: respond to comments, link to their posts, host a guest author, have polls and contests...

    9. Make your site sound like you rather than just another tired vehicle for making cash.

    10. Write every day

    In your case, I like how you're making it easy to find and understand game hacks: reference tip 9, you're voice just might be the simplicity of your posts, and that'll attract readers who see your blog as a straightforward resource. However, rich hack descriptions will attract the search engines, and good category organization will keep readers around looking through your archives.

    My only gripe is the first thing I saw on the page was ads and not content. Readers want content, and they'll make a lightning quick decision on whether to stay or not... odds are an advert in their face will chase them away.

    Hi,

    Frankly, to jump from 100 hits to 1000 is a tall achievement to achieve. To improve traffic via organic search you will need/can do the followings:

    • Website optimization
    • Build good content site
    • Link building
    • Insert social networking media in your site
    • Write and submit articles
    • Get involve in forums and blogs - leave your live signature
    • Email marketing (I don't really fancy this)
    • PPC campaign

    I just read a very useful post for increasing your websites traffic at DP here. You should try these methods to get more traffic and users to your site. Of course all this will take time, you cant expect you jump to 1000+ users in a day :)

    A few articles won't get you to 1000 visitors per day. You've got to write and submit every day, several articles would be best. use articles along with some of the techniques described above.

    Good luck,

    Expand on your list of targeted search terms. Optimize your web pages for the extra terms and watch traffic go up as more people find your site from the newly targeted search terms.

    Don't forget social bookmarking sites!

    StumbleUpon and Digg are great ways of getting targetted or semi-targetted traffic. Having good content and a nice design will hopefully keep them there. :)

    All the advice for building good blog is paramount and what you should focus on. If it's just traffic you're after then you should buy a link on a similar site. You'll have to work out how much you're willing to pay...

    I've opened web-site and I saw only google ads, not a good thing for people-oriented sites. Try to make ads smaller, but more effective. As for getting visitors, I think article marketing will do the job for you. To have 1000+ a day, you will need to submit about 10 articles each month for about 6 months.

    a little advise
    your blog posts are too short , if you can write a small description about the thing your blog post is , it can keep your visitors bussy ,like you had a post on auto level hacker
    and you just mentioned a download link . post a little review of it
    if you dont have a review , find out by googling
    will help newbies :)

    You need to put at least 30 minutes in each day to keep promoting it, until your at a stable amount of views a day, you could do it for a year, until your at 100,000 a day or for a week until your at 1,000 a day, and then perhaps put some input in here and there to increase it.
    Use
    Yahoo answers
    Email friends
    Email randomers
    Payed Advertising
    Put it in your sig, just ma few of the things you can do.

    Will.
