    Hi All,

    Traffic level from Google to my forum site, Hyundai-Forums.com stay same for the last 7 months despite the fact that it gets new inbound links and pages added to SE index every month.

    Where did I make mistakes?. I don't do any spammy methods and my forum is search engine friendly. Do google hate forum sites?.

    Many Thanks

    What you have to remember is that all your competitors will also be trying to increase their traffic at the same time.

    So, your efforts could leave you standing still. However, had you made no effort, your traffic could have actually gone down.

    The search engine are notorius for not ranking forums very well. You are probably behind sites in the pecking order.

    It's all about making good and more efforts in comparison of your competitors and to get useful traffic you need to give your best output.

    Have you looked at your keywords? Maybe you need to target low-competition keywords more. Have you build backlinks consistently to your forum site? You also need to do some forum/blog participation in related forums/blogs to your site in order for your forum site to gain more popularity as well. More important that ranking is traffic? Are you still getting the usual traffic or is there a decline? I wouldn't worry so much about the rank so long as I get decent traffic to my site.
