    my site is pretty new. Less than 20 visitors per day.(most of them from this forum:) )

    Could some one give me some suggestions about my site? How to get more traffic? (I am trying to build some backlinks but is hard to get it now ).

    Appreciate your any comments.

    Hi - as far as traffic goes, look around at seo techniques and link building tools (you'll find a good ad network right here, and a good link building tool in my footer).

    However, your site needs a couple of things pointing out:
    1 - your home page design is lovely. It does not, however, match the rest of your site. When going from one to the other, at first glance it looks like you are running an advertising page and sending me to another site - personally I would apply your home page design across your entire site.
    2 - There are multiple basic spelling mistakes on your home page. As you are offering a service related to programming where basic typos can kill code completely, this does not bode well!
    3 - http://www.kidslovepc.com/download/download.html - this page in particular has a HORRIBLE colour combination. Does not make me want to stick around on your site for very long.
    4 - Every page (apart from the home page) has a link at teh top right saying "Contac Us" - basic typo, needs fixing pronto.
    5 - Your adverts are in danger of taking over your site completely. If this is intentional, excellent. If not, you are distracting your visitors AWAY from your site content, and damaging the conversion rate of visitors to customers.
    6 - http://www.kidslovepc.com/javascript/javascript.html - a page offering javascript downloads, yet it has a java error on it!?!?!
    7 - http://www.kidslovepc.com/download/download.html - a page offering html templates, yet the layout is BAD! Take your own templates, they look much nicer!

    I hope this doesn't offend, but before you start getting large amounts of traffic to your site, it would be advisable to sort out these basic things first. A visitor who comes and leaves almost immediately is extremely unlikely to ever grace your site again, whereas someone who comes and stays a while is much more likely to come back and actually spend some money with you, or click an affiliate link, or whatever it is you want them to do.

    btw, which of those three do you want visitors to do? I couldn't quite see where you were trying to steer me or what you wanted me to do as a visitor....?

    Thanks again.

    I would also try to design a kids-lovable logo. Try using funny colors.

    You are trying to teach 4 or 5 year old kids Java? Hmmm. Who is your target audience? Kids? their parents? teachers? Seems like a very weird niche you found there. At least be a little gentler on the front page with what you trying to bring to the table with the site instead of dedicating 95% of yor content space to Java and everything around it to CPM ads and text ads for gambling

    what I see when I open this page is the waste of space, since I am using an resolotion that is 1600x1200 I understand that not all pages will work, but... this should..

    anyway, design, the banner, doesn't blend with the rest of the site, use a blue backgound color, aqua or something, maybe a nice blended effekt or something, as it would look nicer, and yes I know that you use blue in some of your pages, and that is okay, but think of us, the large screen ppl... anyway, other than that, a nice site, but it doesn't have that much new info to offer...

    I would just re-itterate whats been said above.
    Firstly rewrite the front page, clear up the spelling and grammar mistakes.
    Gambling ad's..??? why the site isn't about gambling change the ads to something kid friendly.

    Finally parents who let their kids onto PC's usually have norton or something installed, hence the ad's installed on the top won't show up...(I assume they are ad's but I've just got abig white space. Change the size of the ad by 1 pixel and use a jump script

    You need to do SEO. Right now search engines see a lot of junk, for example:
    http://lostse.com/index.cgi?Terms=Kids+Love+PC

    The spider found
    .. It looks like a spam site from that! (Google seems to see the same sort of thing)

    Hmmm....when I went to your site my Trend Micro told me your URL gave me TROJ_DLOADER.OS

    That is not going to make your customers too happy:mad:

    ppc advertising, directory submission, tell your friends about your site and encourage them to tell there friends, add quality content and update your content so that you get repeat visits, publish articles about your site topic and publish them on free article websites such as ezinarticles.com, SEO your website to gain search engine traffic, buy dvertising space on websites related to yours. well there is a couple of ideas
