    We have a relatively new site that we are still working on, but our main goal is to increase traffic, unique visitors, and loyal visitors. www.thedailybytes.com

    Our site contains articles, videos, and pictures that come from all around the web. It includes everything from world news to funny random stuff. Along with whats available on the home page, we allow people to submit anything they find interesting for other people to see. They can also vote on their favorite submissions.

    Please check out the site to give me any advice or ideas and also any suggestions on how to increase traffic.

    Thank you very much!!!

    Hi :)


    You can announce your website in forums.

    You can also:

    - write and post articles and blogs

    - submit your site in directories
    (here are a lot of them) directorycritic.com

    - doing linkexchanges with other webmasters
    Also here are a few good sites for it.
    Like for example: link2me.com , linkalizer.com

    Hope this helps ;)


    Jason :)

    I'm not an expert, but you should definitely share your content in social bookmarking sites. Once you have quality content, and you share it with other people, then you'll get the loyalty you're looking for.

    According to my experiences, for every digg you get about 1.5 unique visitors. So If you submit 10 items a day and get a total of 200 diggs (pessimistic) that means (besides you're a digg spammer :)) you'll get about 300 unique visitors. This is just for one bookmarking site and with very pessimistic assumptions.

    regards,

    You can also submit a press release with prweb.

    I'm a fan of social media, so try to make it viral through Stumbleupon, digg, etc.
