I've been trying unsuccessfully to get a few people to sign up for Bukisa, an article directory that pays users depending on how many people read their work. I've placed a few articles around the web, and while they aren't doing amazing, I've gotten maybe 250 hits total from 3 or 4 of them. I know that's not really a lot, but I don't know how to do SEO or anything like that. Can someone help? I really want to figure out this referral link promotion thingie.
if it is a free or "get paid to" program, then manual traffic exchange is recommended as it is similar niche
I would certainly suggest searching these forums for information. You'll find that there's plenty of help available, but it's hard to summarise an SEO campaign in a few words.
