I have a new community website that is in the coupon and discount sharing space. I am doing little bit of advertising on adwords and the site is already indexed on yahoo, google and msn. I would like to get more people to join my site, what would be the best approach. Where should I focus most of my efforts ? Thanks mx
Continue to build some quality "sticky" content on your topic and start promoting through social networks. Make a press release up for something fantastic that you're offering. Quick Tip: Get wordtracker if you don't have it. Use it to keyword research your niche. Make a list of the best keyword phrases(think outside the box - if you think there's no more, your just stuck) and have content and promotions done up around these words. The better you select your target keywords, the easier you'll rank in the search engines - this step is very important while building a reputation. If you choose some highly competitive terms, you'll be hard pressed to get any results. If you choose to go the adwords route or alternative - make sure your conversion tracking and analytics are telling you what works and doesn't and you are constantly adapting your landingpages and site. - SocialMind

You need the run the gammit. You're already doing well with the PPC side, but you can also blog with hubpages, squidoo. Squidoo seems to shoot people to the top of the google pages as well...for free. Target your customers. Who would be interested coupons and discounts? Stay-at-home moms? Try wesbites like wisebread.com. It covers financing and frugal tips.
Try these. 1. Write articles with an inviting and catchy title. Submit them to Top 5-10 article directories 2. Get your website social bookmarked 3. Create account at hubpages.com and start writing interesting write-ups and info. Do some social interaction to let people know about you and your website. 4. In the beginning, try to give (only give, say nice info, short free reports, good offers, etc.etc.) Expect in return once you get enough traffic and popularity. Hope it'd help Good luck Cheers!!
