I read on DP that celebrity pages drive a lot of traffic to your site...so I created some: One for general celebrity news: http://tinyurl.com/2xmqo4 And one for Paris Hilton: http://tinyurl.com/24cwq2 But these pages don't get any hits. Can someone advise me on what I'm doing wrong here? Thank you.
Well how do you expect the pages to drive traffic if you do not do any promotion? Where were you expecting traffic from? It was said on dp that they drive traffic thinking that people are very interested in celebrities, not that you just set up a page and wait for traffic. Go and apply all the methods already discussed.
Hi, thanks for your reply. Well, I know one has to drive a certain amount of traffic to ones site oneself but I did expect at least a little search engine traffic from google...but nothing?
Start building quality links and you'll see some results. Not sure about the script you're using though, doesn't really scream high quality IMHO.
I think you also need to think about how competitive the celebrity news market is: 1. You have a relatively weak domain to start with 2. A sub-page that's even weaker 3. Using content that seems to have been mixed from other stronger domains In that case it's very unlikely you are going to rank well for any key search terms - therefore the actual traffic would be alomost nothing.

if you do a google search yourself for some of the phrases on your own site you'll see why nobody comes to you from google - it's because the search throws up the links to the sites you copied your content from.
Thanks guys...these are all very good observations/criticisms...sometimes the obvious has to be stated for it to sink in...Thanks again!
Mike,start adding some contents to your site related to celebrities and put backlinks to your site for traffic.
I think you should provide more value and the visitors will come via search engines. Build as much backlinks as possible to boost your rankings in Google, etc. Good luck!
