After reading a lot on the forum I've found a ton of different ways, but right now with small advertising I get about 60 unique hits and around 300 page views a day. I was wondering if someone could suggest a good way for me to gain traffic with my site, it's based around a gaming community and I am trying to gain a good amount of members. hxxp://www. zer0gaming .com/ That's my site, but anyone got any suggestions? It's only a temporary site, and the main one will be released soon but I wanted to get the traffic started for the v3 release.
You have a gaming website. There's over 1 million teenagers on MySpace. Start there. It's free. Just remember not to make it look like spam. Actually create a community on there.
Ok, any other suggestions? I understand MySpace is a good outlook, but other then that what would be an easy way to gain 100 uniques a day and possibly gather up around 1,000 page views daily. I'm trying to get a large user database ready for my v3 website. I want to make it look and sound as professional as possible =) Plus the site is based around donations and subscriptions. Without those my servers go off line, so I could probably look for my ways of making money via the web.
If you spent an hour a day on MySpace for 7 days, you'll get 100 uniques a day. I spend about 30 minutes a day on MySpace, and in the last 30 days, I've had over 10,000 visits because of it.
Explain please? I don't exactly get why your spending time on MySpace? Like sending out tons of friends requests?
hi add cents, i also would like to know how to get trafic on myspace, could you please tell us here..
If you have money to invest, try with PPC. If you don't have, try with social networks or link exchanges.
Here are a few ways: 1. Write and distribute press releases 2. Use the 2.0 community (MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) 3. Write and distribute articles with backlinks to your site 4. Create a product and offer it for free to get known 5. Use SEO strategies to build visibility for you site 6. Create and distribute videos to gain credibility and visibility 7. Post to forums (you need to give good info) 8. Create and use a blog 9. Post to other people's blogs 10. Use Adsense and PPC These are, however, all just tactics. You need to start with a good strategic plan. Start with the end in mind, then work backwards. To quote Alice in Wonderland - "If you do not know where you are going, any road will take you there". Good luck, Jim
Thanks, but I am still curious about the myspace tactic. Spend an hour a day get 100 more uniques? Not exactly sure how you would do this, I don't use myspace that's why I'm asking...
Go on social networking sites like facebook and myspace. Go join groups for gamers. Talk about your website on your profile. Add people in your gamer groups to your friend list.
OK, game-industry niche is too large, your first goal is to define smaller niches in game industry. Here is algorithm I can suggest: 1. Try to find some niches with lower competition. You should find keywords that people use in this niche. There are many free link popularity check-up tools, but I prefer google's adwords for this purpose. 2. You might have keywords (20-50) that describe your nice. Sure, you will have such keywords as "online games", nice keyword, but I think it is too competitive. Try to use instead something like "action online games" or "online strategic games". 3. Once you have a list of keywords use some tool (or do it manually) to find out the position of your web-site. Check top-100 results for this purpose. Have a record of current position. 4. Use some method to promote your web-site. I have found out the the best method (in terms of investments/return) is article marketing (actually, I've wrote the e-book about this method, you can check it in my signature). 5. Check your results again in about 2-3 weeks. I'm sure you will see improvement in site positions and every month the number of your visitors will grow.
I think PPC is the best way to get traffic. But no traffic-generation method will work unless your website is monetized well enough.
