More ways of getting traffic

    Hey atm I'm promoting btfheroes.com. I mostly added it to directories (about 100+) blog directories and is posted on dofollow blogs. I'm also using it in in my signature on several big forums. and I started bookmarking in social bookmarking services. I'm getting more traffic everyday i was at a lousy 20-30 and now i get 100+ unv a day.

    Since i still earn none to nothing with my blog I'm wondering if there are more ways to promote my site to get more traffic. So if there is a successful method which i didn't mentioned above please tell me !

    And my second question is I only use adsense but would a affiliate program work on my blog ?

    Start writing articles and submit them to article directories, it helps you to build authority links. If your site is new, it takes time to rank well for keywords. When you build your links, make sure that the links are with anchor text that are being highly searched on search engines.

    Stick to AdSense as 30 uniques a day will not make you much for affiliate marketing.

    If you need any further assistance, do not doubt to contact me.

    Capture good screenshots of the game, post them onto your site and then post them to www.AddAnImage.com - there's a section for games.

    Good luck!

    Cheers, p.

    Check your link in signature - use proper anchor text (i.e. your keyword).

    Based on personal experience, the top four are:

    EzineArticles.com (way ahead...)
    GoArticles.com
    SearchWarp.com
    ArticleRich.com

    Try to submit your articles to EzineArticles first and submit slightly rewritten versions to the other 3 to avoid duplicate content...

    If ur doing SEO try to do OnPage SEO first and find ur suitable keywords that can bring more traffic.
    100 uv is not a big thing.Even some of my sites won't bring me a single penny from 500 uv.

    There are so called "social bookmarking" websites, which work like a virtual community, where all kinds of posts, comments and links are shared and discussed between the members.

    Hi Crazyanz,

    I am just starting out myself and am curious about your jump from 30 to 100 or 150 unique visitors. I am trying to get to this level with my sites as well. A few questions:

    1. How old is your site? I am assuming a few months old.

    2. Was the jump due mainly to social bookmarking? If it was the social bookmarking, how did you do it use a service on the web or submit to certain sites like Furl, Spurl, Backflip, Del.icio.us? In addition, did you consistently submit over a few times a month or was it one time thing?

    Any help you could give would be appreciated?

    As far as your question about article marketers, here are the top ones I could find based on some lists circulating the web and their Alexa numbers:

    1. Ezine Articles
    2. Go Articles
    3. Buzzle.com
    4. searchwarp.com
    5. Amazines.com
    6. Articlealley.com
    7. isnare.com
    8. articledashboard.com
    9. articlecity.com
    10. submityourarticle.com

    Best,
    JDSalinger

    For social bookmarking is use: http://www.socialmarker.com/
    Its just a tool to make things faster i ad every new article I write. I only submit to 4 social bookmarking sites: Digg,Stumbleupon,Redit,Propeller I might start doing more since i first wanted to test the result.

    I can not be sure if the traffic increase is due the social bookmarking since i only get 6-10 total unv from them a day. But the visitors i get from google strongly increased since i do!

    Personally I'd investigate a few more ways to monetize the site. It's hard to say (you haven't provided any metrics like how much your making per 1000 visitors), but some niches just don't work well with adsense in my experience.

    You could try joining a game affiliate site like reflexive, finding some games which you think would appeal to people interested in btfheroes, and either advertising, or blogging about the game.

    Still keep working on increasing your traffic, but don't just assume adsense is the way to go. Test a few other ways to monetize the site...

    That is quite low. Like I said before, keep working on building up the traffic, but I definitely think you should try monetizing in different ways. I've seen sites that make less than you are per visitor with adsense, but way more when selling the right products...

    You need more content to keep me engaged and returning for more. Article marketing is a great tool, but only if where you want me to go is something I will value.

    Don't think about attracting one-time visitors but rather how to get them back a second then 10th time.

    Think of yourself as an expert and become one at your blog, then market.

    Quadruple your content at least, great content, then Article Market.

    P.S. Social Bookmarking, try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking
