    Hey everyone,

    I run a relatively new music site (just moved to a hosted site, from blogger, with new domain name), and am just wondering what I should do to improve traffic in general. I submit reviews all over the place, I'm slowly building up inbound links... Have I missed anything?

    Thanks a lot :)

    Hmm, If you want search engine traffic than.. submit to directories. write articles for your site. and there are a lot of way to build link towards your website. Also run PPC Campaigns. it depends upon kind of site you have. as gr8liverpoolfan quoted above

    Assuming that it is indeed the one in your recent blog, you could obviously submit them to directories and write unique good quality content. Forum sigs,link exchanges with similard minded sites and comments on other similar high traffic blogs won't do any harm at all:)

    I review CDs, I try to do a new one each week. They are not mainstream (thats my niche I guess). When I was on my old blogger blog, googling

    "artist name" review

    normally saw me on the first page - I want that back! Thanks for the tips so far. I think I'll get onto directory submissions...

    Submitting to forums and directories etc will help to get your site indexed on the search engines

    Keep your site up to date with new unique content

    And don't forget work hard and you will get there with your site

    I'd join many music forums and have your website in your sig. That'll get you some decent traffic.
