    You've helped me to make my site design better and increase my ctr so first I want to thank every body on dp for their help.
    Second, if this was your site, how would you bring more traffic to it?

    http://www.tutorialsroom.com/

    My site is about 3 months old, I have about 350 uniques per day. I have done some seo and submitted tutorials to tutorials db like pixel2life and tutorialized, etc... this is not easy because I have to submit my tutorials one by one to Keep the referral traffic. I get 20 daily visits from Google on average and about 120 of my traffic as direct traffic.

    My target is to have 1000 visitors a day (targeted visitors). How would you do that if this was your site?

    I would have started a lens on Squidoo. You can also ask for a professional review of your site. ReviewMe.com has a bunch of bloggers and web developers listed. The offer reviews of products, sites, services and so forth. Press releases and articles are another way of promoting your site. And let us not forget the Social networks and the big role they play in the marketing race of spreading the buzz.

    If you can write one single tutorial with information no one else has provided, submit it to Digg and Stumbleupon, you will get traffic quickly. Even if it isn't something "new", it can be an article about using two tips/tricks together that no one else has written about.

    From my (limited) experience, the Stumbleupon traffic may only be a one time thing, but if you get a pretty popular submission to Digg you'll continue to get traffic from it.

    Try doing some social bookmarking. Digg and Reddit are good sites.
