    the site is mfa101.com.

    I have tryed digg.com, and i have added some adsense, i am trying to think of new ways to market it and make it better. It is a very new site, and i am finding it very hard to keep up traffic. My idea is orginal, but i really want it to take off, because i think my idea is a brilliant one.

    Does anyone have any suggestions to market the site?

    I havnt tryed many methods, i just want quickish traffic without spending any cash.

    Thx,

    Rob

    Rob,

    Have you considered your market? MFAs are generally viewed as a bad thing, and Google are cracking down on them more and more. Is there a long term future for them?

    try looking around the marketing and seo section, you will learn a lot.
    have you thought about advertising in forums, myspace, link exchange etc

    You might get some bad response because many people especially webmasters don’t really like MFA sites. I don’t know what your idea is nor what you intend on doing with your forum but maybe you should ask a few bloggers to post about your forum.
    Good luck “you’ll need it” :D

    Please don't take offense to this, but, the site is very hard to read with the white on grey. Also, please remove the 1995 scrolling text.
    I would like to help you, but, before you market your site you need a lot of cleanup on it.
    Good Luck.

    Totally agree with factchecker on this. The site needs a new template. Please improve the colors and font. The site looks terrible :eek:

    LOL. Ok, i will change the template, i always assumed that webmasters liked MFA sites. I only own one and they are not exactly making me millions...

    From what i can gather, i made a mistake...

    I really suck at thinking up good designs, shall i just use a "ipb" like style for vbulletin?

    try asking every one you know to tag your site in delicious.
    pay for article submission
    pay for directory submission
    spread the word round on forums but dont spam

    this will help you

    I have done this before, apart from paying. Just forums, i managed to get 300uniques/day from around 20 different forums, of course, it took around 3months to get this figure. I got PR4 as well.
