    How do we promote a site that is related to a gaming niche such as fan page.

    The current website i am running is http://leaguecraft.com/ and the actual game is http://www.leagueoflegends.com/

    Current Alexa Traffic: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/leaguecraft.com#

    I am trying my best to attract more traffic and visitors. I haven't found a place other than reddit to promote a gaming niche site.

    Is there any suggestion to bring major traffic to the main page?

    I really appreciate your time.
    Thank you

    If you copy news after leagueoflegends.com you are not going to attract people with nothing. Try doing reviews on some builds of items or even champions.

    Posting your details anywhere remotely targeted to your niche will help. For instance, you can look at related gaming forums/blogs or even use Yahoo Answers to your advantage.

    Yeah I think good quality tutorials and strategies might be optimal for a game like that.

    Isnt there an official forum for that game you can invite peeps from?

    Have done so but game is so popular that seems like only 5% of the community know about the site.

    I am trying my best to advertise it through the main game site without giving a bad rep but it doesn't bring much since threads dies fast.

    Hey there, owner of DemacianComics here.

    The pentakill video contest is a good idea. Maybe try getting the contest featured in a summoner spotlight. Back in May when DemacianComics was featured in the spotlight, we hit almost 300,000 pageviews in one day (compared to around 20,000 on a normal day). Ended up making around $85 from Adsense that day.

    Also make sure that you've posted a link to your contest on the official forums, and bump it once or twice a day. It gets pushed off the first page pretty quickly, but it does bring in a little bit of extra traffic.

    Good luck!

    Work on getting quality backlinks from similar sites and blog by commenting or forum posting (loadz of gaming forum in the web that accepts signature) and get more better position in google and get more traffic.Also these gaming sites has a great acceptance in social network site like facebook and promote it in facebook for getting more traffic.

    Have you tried facebook, some games can be pretty well publicised if they go viral on fb

    Yeah i run a Facebook page with over 12k fan base.

    @Ezreal: I am not so sure if they take pentakill videos footage, they usually take creative custom art or work :(
