Hi all, My travel forum is 3 months old, and gets about 5 hits a day from search engines, which accounts for about 25% of my traffic. I have been trying to increase traffic through all different means, but still can only seem to get about 20 - 25 visits per day. I have submitted to a heap of directories, the forum is already PR1, I pay for a small amount of advertising through Adwords, I have links to it in all the other forums i post in etc etc Any other ideas? Reviews of the SEO would be much appreicated as its my first site www.aussietravellersforum.com Thanks Prawn
hi prawn, I saw your site looks okay, but i do recommend to pimp it a bit like images of places or funny pics from your place that would catch peoples attention. You could also put up a very interesting alerts from your place that intrigues people from your place. Cheers!
hey theree you may want to implement a no spam policy similiar to DP where you need to be here at least 1 wk and min 10 posts.. i note you have allows people with as few as 3 posts to submit a sig...add blog to site to have content there that is going to attract the SE's, there is not much there to attract my attention and no reason for me to come back get involved in some of the expat communities, theya re the ones who will help make it, but hey its not my site...
Thanks dickie, where would i find these expat communities? I have started threads for most countries, but as i have not been to them all, cant really comment myself on them, thats why im looking to build a user base
hmmm just googled expats and found the main ones there... for germany you know there is a oktoberfest.. start something on that.. look into weihnachts markt, the romantic road etc.... offer incentives for people to write / help you get it up and running lastly another hint google HHH,
