    Hi,
    First of all I hope that I write this message in the right place.
    To the subject,
    I open new video site Free Cars Vidoes, in the 2 days after I open it I get 400 uv, but now it's falling down, I want to know what you think that I need to add to attract more people,
    I think to add "Downloads" that related to cars (like movies, games ..) and add "Watch Movies Online" like Fast and fourios and more.

    Cheers.

    Yeah I know, and it's empty only in the index,
    I also think about add articles to the index.

    Cheers.

    I don't think things added to a site attract people. Granted they increase the chances of people returning, but I think attracting people to it in the first place is mostly done off-site? Sorry, I'm not trying to be funny or state the obvious: just suggesting that your assumption (that you should be adding things to the site) is perhaps only a small part of increasing your traffic (i.e. the retention/revists part), and maybe you should also be thinking about things other than the site itself to get more people there in the first place?

    you should first fill up all the empty spaces in your site... the reason why your traffic falling down is the visitors don't have any clue on what to do to your site... they find it boring...

    Hi....mate

    really your site is not cacheyy... if visitor comes on your home page they doesn't find any thing related to your URL.....so work on home page 1st..

    yes of course you have to place some trendy car photos as well video....and..

    some exciting thing which can helps your visitor to stick on that...:)

    You can add whatever you like to your site, it will only attract people if they can find it :)

    Providing just videos alone will not do any good for the traffic. Try to add reviews instead with keywords for visitors to arrive from search engines.

    Make it look refreshing, ask yourself would I stay on this site if I hadn't visited it before. Think like a visitor.

    Your poll is quite annoying too on the front page, it should have a bit of introductory text, best videos, anything appealing.

    Next time you should post this in the Review section ;).

    well it seems you made a site about car videos therefore i think you add car racing video and it should be street racing..

    There should definitely be some content on the home page.

    I'm sure a lot of your visitors are bouncing because they think your site is incomplete.

    You really ought to work on the design as well. People who watch car videos are interested in flashy graphics, not a boring ol' text template.

    Your site can be a big hit if it's packaged properly.

    Continue to update the site on regular basis and keep promoting it so that you can get traffic to your site. If you think updating it is a little too boring, you can always hire someone to do the job for you.

    You should add quality contents to your site, because that is what last in the long run, no other thing runs for long time.
