Hello Friends, I am a software engineer and a freelancer working in india. I work on .NET and PHP. I have aunched a website www.e-mandi.com 5 months ago but i am not getting any user on my site. I will be much help for me if you all guys help me to know the reasons. I recently stared a forum on my site www.e-mandi.com/forum. Thanks in advance.
Starting a forum with no traffic to begin with is a bad idea. You should have at least a modicum of a sustained user base. Forums are great to foster and grow a community, but not to start one. The answer to this question is always the same: Content, Content, Content. The more useful and interesting information you have up, the more visitors you will have. If you build it, they will come.
I feel bad for you man. I would say you need a strong linking campaign. It seems like the engines like your pages. You just need some more backlinks from different sites with high PR. As well, some advertising might not do you bad in the meantime. Offer something to users to get them in. Create fake usernames and answer questions with them. Create fake profiles. No one wants to be the first one. What do you think?
