    It's been quite a few months that i have made this site. Still, I do not get enough free traffic or clicks.
    Plz be honest and give me some ways to improve my site. I really want it to grow up.

    First define exactly what you want to do with this site.

    Do you:

    1) Want this to be a place where anyone can come and grab a free article that they can use on their website?

    2) Showcase a writers article so they can hopefully find work as a writer for someone?

    3) Bring writers and people who need articles written for them together?

    4) Are going to pay writers for their unique articles?

    At first it sounds like you are trying to do what hubpages.com does. Have unique hubs/blogs on the web where people can share ideas, and write about what they like. Then later on in your description on your homepage you talk about writers can start their own business.

    Define exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish, and then bring that information up to the top of the page, and push down the ads and the youtube video. That will help you out a lot.

    Remember if you are trying to attract people who want paid for their articles, once they publish an article on your site, they won't be able to publish it with a professional publisher. They may be able to sell it to someone who is just looking for content on their site. It is unlikely, because once it is published on your site that says free articles, then visitors are going to assume all articles are free to grab and use on their site. The value of the article is lost.

    The article on the site can be free to showcase their writing talents, but they won't be writing too much for your site. They will want to save most of their ideas for those paying them to write articles.

    Define your site more, and then work from there.

    you should not worry about your site because you have not worked hard for your site, tell me why one will visit your site ? for article then tell me how much article you have in your site, the main reason behind less visit to your site is as follows.

    1-Lack of article
    2-misplacement of ads
    3-Home page is full with ads but there is no contents.

    try to add lots of unique article in your site then people will visit your site.Plz don't mind me but for this reason you are not getting any traffic.

    Putting unique articles takes a lot of money to be invested. Is there any other option that i could put use to.

    while you're not getting the trafic, i'd take off the adwords at the top, it kind of makes it look too busy and cluttered. also, i would also tweek the design some, maybe add some colour in some areas?

    like the concept all in all, well done.

    Cleverstuf is right.

    Either A) you can create your own unique articles or B) give writers incentive.

    Don't expect professional writers to come and just write free articles for you, or use your website. Unless you can connect them to those looking to pay them to write something. They will write e-books, and sell them on their own site that didn't cost much.

    Other writers don't consider themselves professional, even though some of them could be. They will write what they consider blogs like those on hubpages. If you are looking to bring a community of people together to write different and unique articles/blogs then hubpages would be your competition. I get ad revenue from them through adsense, and instant traffic. They require that your hub/blog to be unique and not published else where on the web.

    There is always room for more sites like hubpages. What is going to set your site apart from them? There is one example I can think of, hubpages does not allow you link to your website in every article. Even when you put it in your profile, there is a no follow through for search engine spiders. If you could allow me to put on my ad sense ads, allow me to link to my website, and other blogs then yes I would look into putting some articles on your site.

    The only thing I would be hesitant about is that if I use your site, then I know that others can take my article and use it as if they wrote it. People are funny that way. They wrote something, they want to keep the rights to it, and at least be acknowledged for it.

    You really need to start with making the information clear, and putting it at the top of the site. Otherwise most will not get the idea of your site, and click off of it one way or the other.

    Then when you get every thing the way you want it. Add it to all the social networking sites you can including youtube, twitter, and etc. Unless you make your site clear, visitors are not going to stay and join.
