    I have a tech site which is about 3 months old now. I have been on Slashdot, I have been on Frontpage Digg, Frontpage Del.icio.us, Frontpage of other bigboys in the tech industry.
    Ive been blogged about, I have done link and banner exchanges, done some Adwords, have a forum to help retain users which has had paid posting to get the ball rolling, in alot of directories and even done article submission which a few sites have picked up.

    My content is unique, I rank well for my search terms in Google.. Whats next?
    What else can I do to continue marketing my site?

    What's the URL to your site? You could make some cool site related merchandise I guess.

    His site is only three months old, and I don't think Google has done a PageRank update in that time period.

    As RTBanField said, Googles PR hasnt updated since I started it. I am expecting a decent PR when it does as I have a few tech related PR7 links incoming.

    Not entirely sure what you mean by what type, but my users are typically either home users with an issue that find me via a forum or Google for something like "computer keeps restarting" or I get the more technically minded users who found me via a Blog or something.

    I guess BOG is referring to how much traffic are you getting. How many unique visits do you get in a day or month?

    I was getting around 300 - 500 uniques per day. 2 days ago I got digg'ed/delicious'ed which shot me up to 10,000. The next day was 6000 and today hasnt finished so I am not sure of the current traffic. Im guessing it'll eventually hold steady at 600 - 700ish as heaps of blogs wrote about me when they found me on Digg.

    Do you have access to cpanel with your webhost? it will tell you where your visitors are coming from (AWstat)

    Hey (BryceW)

    Would you mind sharing how you got 600 ~ 800 backlinks in around 3 months ?

    I know you mentioned directories, but in 3 months thats a pretty good acceptace rate or ALOT of submitting ! !

    any insight would be appreciated

    Yep, I know all that and watch them very closely, I look to see what people were trying to find on my site and if I dont have that topic I write about it.

    Directory submitting, Article directory submitting, Good content which people will refer to on forums and link to on their sites and contacting bloggers to write about my articles.

    The thing with bloggers is that bloggers copy other bloggers content (wow, I used 'bloggers' 3 times in 1 sentance). So if you get on one blog it will can branch out into other blogs, RSS feeds etc..

    I hated hearing it myself when I was first starting out, but good quality, unique content is what does the trick.

    You could add your site to your signature in these forums.

    The more exposure your site gets the better it will do in getting more visitors.

    I like your site, looks very professional. It even looks like it has good content without reading it.

    I prefer not to advertise my websites on webdeveloper forums as I have been copied alot in the past with previous projects.

    Word on the street is that it is sometime in July.

    Nice site, however, it does not attract me on the first look... maybee you might do a nice graphic redesign.
