I've been posting pictures, videos, articles, week after week..Along with submitting sites, posting links on forums, sigs and what not..But cant seem to get any traffic going at all? I get around 40uniques a day, once 256, but I got lucky or something, since after that its been in the 20-40 range..What else can I do? altimacoupes.com
Have you done social bookmarking to your site yet?.. it gives you some traffic and backlinks as well for free.
I'd lose the chat section of the site and focus on the cars for now. Create a new members intro section. No one will post on an empty forum site. You need some starter posts to get going. Ask your friends to post a few things, or if you want, create some ghost members to do the posting (you post as someone else). Once people see some activity they might have more interest posting on site. I'd also create a few more Altima related categories (I have no ideas - not a car buff). Hope that helps
Are you interested in working with someone else on this? I have a strong 350Z forum and wiki and the Altima coupe will basically be the little brother of the 350Z. I have already begun work on the wiki but I dont have time to mess with another forum. I am building a network of automotive wikis including several Nissan cars, Scions, and a few others in the works. My 350Z site ranks near the top of all search engines and we get a lot of traffic.
I would think your biggest hurdle is that is a very narrow market. You could create a series of websites for different models and link them together.
^ I agree. Not only is your site about one specific carmaker, but also one specific model and one specific trim. Maybe it would help to broaden your target market?
