    Hi,
    I have started a city (Mumbai, India) specific social networking site. but i guess I am not geting enough members and hits per day. Could anyone please from DP suggest what am I missing or should I target to broader group of users.

    This site is Mumbai's first very own social networking site, dedicated to mumbai people.Please let me have your feedback.

    Site: http://www.cona.in

    Thanks in advance.

    The site looks good, there should be enough people with Mumbai roots, try and find out where the biggest population outside India is, and then try to market that group.

    I think it is because you are offering the same thing that all the other sites are offering. With the big names you can simply join a group specific to your region. So you need to set yourself apart. Simply downloading a script and uploading it to your server won't do. You need to focus on something that is specific to Mumbai(ans)? Phpizabi is a decent script but it lacks flexibility. I want to make sure you do not build yourself into a corner.

    I apologize if this comes off as to critical but I feel you are right, there should be group specific sites but I don't think it should be a copy of something already out there (which is what I see you have). Just don't try and throw a site up to generate revenue really plot it out like you were building a business.
