    Just wondering what some ways are to help spread our new website.

    What we've done so far.

    1.) Keep content fresh
    2.) Generate talk and get featured on several other sites due to some of the things we've discussed
    3.) Launched on a great domain (scrolldog.com) with a great style

    Outside of that I've had a hard time finding affiliates, but I would like to know if there are any article submission sites for blogs or just really good proven ways to find/generate readers.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Social media is a good way to get your name out there. Follow others in your industry and share some of their stuff if you've got great content then they'll follow you and share what you've got as well.

    Thanks for the info.

    Since I made the post I've done some research on my own and have found some things like SEO plugins, etc that can be used to help boost traffic and establish viewers.

    With your topic area - Warez and torrent mixed in with current news, if I am not mistaken - I would have thought you just need to post to the active community regularly to get visitors to your site. Mind you, that niche doesn't have much money so I'm not sure what your monetisation strategy will be! :)

    So, join every forum going and drag them to your site with your forum sig. Post to Q and A sites, Reddit, Quora and see which gets you traffic.

    Basically, do it for an hour a day and after a few months you will see a steady stream of traffic. Bring them in to great content - or well-presented current news they can easily share - and you will have growing traffic from your direct traffic, and sharing.

    BTW- on this page
    http://scrolldog.com/category/scene/
    ...the text snippets are cutting off at a certain number of words which is producing incomplete sentences such as:

    "oday we learned news of an unexpected twist in regards to some of our most prolific articles. We’ve"
    and
    "crollDog.com would like to thank everyone for their overwhelming support! Your presence has been simply"
    Also, it's chopping off the first letter.

    Looks weird all in all :|

    Good luck!
