Oleks · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hi,
I am trying to find notes, comments and suggestion how to attract visitors to the Web site or Forum and increase traffic. I am not sure that I am the first one who is interested in site promotion. But, I can not find an appropriate thread with right suggestions. Please, correct me if I am wrong and such question is discussed and totally clear.

I will appreciate any comments and sharing ideas. I hope all notes from successful Guru will be helpful for beginners to promote Web sites or Forums.

Thank you.

P.S.
Please, do not suggest SPAM for Web sites or Forums promotion.

You have not told us what your site is about or even provided a link for us to have a look.

Well …
I do not really want to use this thread to advertise my Web site.
But, I want to get some suggestions like:
- send your site to the search engines add these are some good ways …
- use link exchange and these are some sites which will be able to put your link …
- and some more comments

Thank you.

Maybe if you tell us what it is for i.e. Hosting, Games, Banners etc thats not advertising.

See it is no good saying go and advertise in a games forum if you are selling dog food for example LOL :)

Search engine optimization is one of the best =- also if u have a budget PPC campaign and you can buy some traffic.

Also make sure that forum does not look empty. Fill it with content. The same is true just for a plain website. Search engines like always changing content.

A question = there are a number of companies offering traffic, often in the form of pop-unders or expired domains.

Anyone have the low-down on this kind of thing, does it really work? All of them seem to claim that THEY offer real traffic but their competitors don't. I also suspect some are re-sellers of others (and many claim to be cheaper than anyone else because everyone else buys from them yada yada)

Do they, or CAN they, differentiate between actual open windows and hits that are instantly killed by pop-up killers?

Do they really provide targeted traffic or not?

I have to admit it's almost the only form of paid traffic I could afford, many offer 10,000 visitors for reasonable rates. I love the concept - but is it for real?

I'd guess it must work some of the time but what sort of percentages, anyone know? Anyone tried this?

I have a page that when people wander into it, has a conversion rate of 1.5%, any idea what sort of conversion I could expect from 10k 'targetted' visitors? My only targetting would be Americans with credit cards basically, ie shopping, in America, as an amazon affilate and flogging my own book.

Straightforward honest answers from thems that know, appreciated!
