    look at what you are advertising..who is actually interested in "Conference Calling?" and are you doing something you truely love? Remember that you are not making a site "to make money", that shouldnt be the reason because i have found that you will not earn much with that midset...

    I will post again but im tired of typing right now...with one hand...coz i broke my left arm lol

    Hello, It my opinion and please remember its just my opinion

    The site looks to template-ish and like its all about the adsense

    Try to provide useful stuff for the viewer, the more content the better

    Let me know if I can help you anymore

    Also instead of just Google Ads , once you get either more visitors or A Higher PR you can sell text or banner ads.

    yeah I'm going to have to agree with sebastya. You've gotta have something more interesting... I mean the concept isn't all that bad if you were to maybe add a review section of various video conferencing applications etc... maybe add a phpbb forum for it. Its obv. that everyone knows what a conference call is... possibly change the copy to include your perspective on the best systems suited for such. Add some links to major telco providers or hardware companies...

    Thanks all for the suggestion. But these things are common and almost every seo knows and what i feel i have enough content to start with. The main thing is how i should start getting traffic?? SE will take a long time for my site to show up and i am not in a condition to pay my hosting upto that time :( :(

    Is there any other way from where i can get traffic?? may be some related forum or something which you can suggest. But it should be free as i dont have money to pay.:(

    of course...be creative...you can make a sign of ur URL and hang it on the back of your car..or make brochures, etc. about ur website and put it in peoples mailboxes...just givin u some ideas...

    even online you can do link exchanges or sell ad space like some ppl said..

    jst dont give up, you'll succeed for sure :)

    Thanks Sebastya. But your post seem to like making joke of me. I dont have my own house( living on rent). Car is like a dream currently and in my country there is not so much awareness about internet. So offline advertising will be costly in view of results.

    Hmm.. I Need to think some new idea!!!

    You should really try to find a subject that interests you so you can write interesting content each day. A blog on a subject like this can only do so much regardless of how much you advertise it.

    I made a mistake with my first website too (sig) because i wrote about a topic that hardly interests me.

    Since then I've learnt my lesson & made my niche websites which I love and already started to earn me some money from them.

    Sorry if my ideas didn't help you, but hopefully from your thread some people visited your site, were interested in your ads and clicked them ;)

    No Sebastaya, I posted my site for honest review. Dint have any other purpose. Ya what you say is right, I should start making sites in which i have interest or atleast have good knowledge.

    So thinking of doing some services for other DP members for earning to take a domain and 2-3 hosting.

    BTW, If i use CO-OP on my site, Will that be any good?? can i get some traffic from that.
