Hi all,
I'm trying to promote my site and build traffic (who isn't). But I'm having difficulty, I'm finding that my site is extremely difficult to promote.
I'm in google and most of the major directories. I just can't seem to get people to come.

I feel I've done everything that I know of. Does anyone have any suggestions/tips? I'm getting desperate.

assume this scenario,

i am your competitor.

i get lets say 10000 hits a day.

and we have exchanged links.

in that case atleast 100 hit will come to you.. right??

trading links with ur competitors will get the best result..

dont think them as ur competitors.
do something like a business partnership..
exchange links and promote one another


btw : which site are you trying to promote??

The one in my sig. www.internet-clubhouse.com

It's an online community, having links on similar sites won't work, I don't think, because visitors come looking for a since of community, and they won't get that if the are referred to another community.

I could be completly wrong though.

I tried banner exchanges, didn't reveive enough hits to make it worth while. Maybe 1 or 2 a week.

Quote from w3exit.com :
"We are a popunder exit exchange for web development related sites"
I don't fall into that category, so traffic would not be targeted for me. That and I refuse to use popups on my site.

Got the sig in my emails.


I've tried getting people involved by making current members forum moderators and such, thinking maybe they'll feel kind of like they run the site a little and tell their friends. And it works for a little while, but then dies out quickly. People don't want to stay and help out when there's no traffic/activity.

I'm feeling a little hopeless at this point.

Ok, As much as I despise popup advertising, I'm signing up for FreeVisits.com. Maybe It will allow me to get the boost I need. Once the site is able to stand on it's own feet I could drop the popups.

I know there are sites that will submitt your site to at least 1500 search engines once a month for a year for $99 or less. I admit I hate pop ups too. If you really want the traffic it will probley cost you to advertize. Think about what praveen said about tradeing links with sites like your own. I understand how you feel about the community, but if you could get 100 hits a day, that's 36,500 a year. And thats just from one link. If you could get 500 members out of that you would be rocken!!!

Hello Anacrusis,
You should give a try to start-up, traffic exhange programs. I'm using those programs to grab leads and promote my business. I mean, I don't promote my main site directly on the TE programs, instead i'm promoting a page where i have a lead capture system.
You can see it in action here:
http://www31.brinkster.com/leads4u
PM me and i will sent you more info, you can get 150-300 hits/day easily, and 5-10 leads daily.

I also suggest contacting webmasters. I have a database of over 20,000 Webmasters. If you need that, PM me. Keep in mind, Spamming is illegal.
