I have been working on a site for a while now (www.asianbeautyblog.com) and over time, with posts on a few forums mentioning entries, and pinged blog entries, I've managed to build a good amount of traffic (about 1500 hits/day). This took about 2 months. Are there any other ways to drive traffic towards my sites? I've done a few directory submissions for some other sites, but I haven't seen any change in traffic yet (submissions were already approved). Is there some easy way to get traffic that I'm not thinking of, or am I on the right track?
there are loads of marketing ways. if you want super fast traffic, you might wanna try the google adwords program.
Going to give adwords a shot with one of my forum sites, after I develop a decent home page for it. I'm looking for more long-term ideas that don't require investments of the sort that PPC ads do. I figure I should read more about SEO, but I'm not really sure where to start.
