I'm the proud owner of Big Chicos Movie Blog. We get anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000 page views a month, and have been up for over a year. The problem is I want to take it to the next level. By that I mean getting 100,000 to 500,000 page views a month. Any ideas for the site are welcome as well as criticism. I want to be able to do this full time in 2 years. I don't have deep pockets but I do have a little put away for the right strategy. Anywho, thanks for any advice. www.bigchicosmovieblog.com
Its a good start, you have a decent PR 3 and Alexa of sub 500,000. For the site I would recommend a re-design to a "tighter" design. It seems that your content is all over the page, and spread out too much. For example I just did a site recently for this guy rawautos.com, and its a lot more organized than what you have now. As far as traffic I would just do back link building, and perhaps get involved in social media. I didn't notice any Facebook/Twitters/etc on your website. Just my 2 cents
1. Make it load faster (believe me, it really really helps for return visitors). You can do this by caching for wordpress, switching a faster host, etc. 2. Build your brand by creating an app of some sort (for iPhone or Android). 3. Hire a professional to create a memorable logo (Again this comes back to branding). 4. Develop some functionality beyond basic Wordpress stuff Just some ideas, good luck!
