I have several sites I run that I really like. http://forums.mychemistrytutor.com http://www.shareyourexpertise.com http://www.nationalcarbuyingcenter.com (hey I know its ugly but the content and idea is good) I have never had over a hundred visitors in a day. I am ready to do whatever people tell me to do. What do you think?
The ShareYourExpertise.com site has potential, but I don't see a lot of content. Google will love you more if you update frequently.
Or try to do creative spamming in niche forums. (thats what i do sometimes!) It helps bring in alot of targeted traffic. Else just work on SEO, and hope that you get search engine traffic. Else ... cross your fingers ? ^^
By linkbait I mean an article of exceptional quality, that people will naturally want to link to. Then submit it to the bookmarking sites to expose it to those that may link to it.
Mabbe you should take down ur ads first, and focusing in keeping your visitors ... put the ads back when the traffic is much better. These days, alot of visitors are skeptical abt ads, at least imho.
that is good advice.... shareyourexpertise is fun...i really thought more people would contribute...but alas they didn't chemistrytutor is my passsion nationalcarbuyingcenter is my brother who is like the best car finance manager in our part of the state.
Thats a great idea. I did that exact same thing. When I bought my site it had adds all over it. My main focus is trying to expand the membership so I took the long term approach and removed all the adds. Maybe once I get 10,000 active members or something I'll start to put some back up. People really hate ads.
try to optimize your keywords, then you will get the proper targeted traffic from the search engines. get backlinks by hiperlinking your anchor text in high pr and high traffic sites! that will sure help
learn the art of list building and everything that pertains to it, and you will easily jump far ahead of everyone else here.
I think that "linkbait" which YoungMaster mentioned is the best strategy for you now. It is not a problem to get a traffic from such sites as redit or stubmleupon, but it's hard to make these people talk about you and link back to you. So consider developing some plan regarding your content, try to create texts that are fun and intriguing, people will vote for you and link back.
do you mean do like some neat explosion in my lab. blog on it and see if that generates links? I would like to know more about link baiting.
100 visitors is good. I think it's because your sites are REALLY unique and you've put a lot of time and effort in buliding the content. It'll only get better! I can see WORD OF MOUTH working on your sites in the future
