Hey guys, I have come here because I really don't know where else to turn anymore.

I have owned my own websites for just over a year now and am still struggling badly in making any of them active or a success

My first site is www.zionmax.com which is over a year old. (i just recently gave it a facelift and added some nice features (hence the low user count)) and my other site which is 3 months old www.emushack.net is also doing terrible. (I made the front page and subpages)

Note : Zionmax highest ever member count was about 800 (and no registered user barley ever posted)

Emushack has been going for 3 months now but only has 30 members and none of them login anymore even.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? As I just cannot see what I am doing wrong.

Take this site www.generalemu.net (its been open about 2 months longer than emushack but its doing great???) what does that site offer that mine does not? My site is better presented , nicer looking and more feature packed but there doing great and mine is not? I am baffled by that.

Also its lucky if i even have more than 3 users online within a 15 minute timeframe too.

I really am at a loss now and I really am close to throwing in the towel for good

Can someone please help me?

Thank you

It may have more to do with how your sites are promoted rather than design. What are you doing to get visitors to your site?

Come on Zion, if it was that easy, i think everyone would be rich. Your site is not interresting at all at first glance. NOt even a catchy slogan. At least the other site has that, although I think it is a bore as well.

But moreso, I agree with Joder, you need to market a bit.

How do you think people are going to know about your site?

Here at WT look at these forums:
http://www.webmaster-talk.com/internet-marketing-and-seo-talk/

Would also be a good place to ask questions if you have any.

thanks guys, it honestly wasn't lazyness. I googled before regarding advertisement but found nothing of interest at all.

I am totaly up for putting as much time and effort into this as it takes to achieve success.

Forums are very hard to get momentum with. It takes balanced moderating, fresh posts and engaging conversations. I used to run one of the top Wrestling News sites on the internet, but my forum was barren.

I went to some of the biggest wrestling forums on the internet, posted awhile with a link to my forum in my sig(do not spam"join my forum!" engage in real conversation. After creating a rapport I would invite the most active posters to moderate forums on my site, they would in turn invite posters who would invite posters.
