Can you review my site/give me advice?

Hey guys,

first post, im new here. I was hoping you might be able to review my site/give me some advice on driving traffic to my site.

link is in my sig.

It is a free fan site for baseball fans to get together and read articles/post in the forums.

I think the site looks decent for what it is but my question is how to drive traffic to it besides word of mouth. The site does alright on google if you type in combinations of the title words.

I have been trying to find affiliates but i'm not sure where to start looking to find decent affiliates.

Thanks for your advice/help!

David

Site looks great. Good graphics.

The only thing it lacks is content and age. Give it some time.
You could add a blog to your site and start posting articles.

Content is what the search engines are looking for.

Of course, if you want to learn how to do it really fast, join Niche Profit Classroom for a couple of months.

They teach 80+ methods through videos on how to drive traffic. You'll be a pro in no time!

There is a link in my signature to a review of NPC.

David, please accept my directness which is designed to help you.

Whilst I read in your post what the site is about, I didn't get that
feeling when I visited. It's unclear. Why would people want to be
on your site - what's in it for them?

I don't know anything about the game, but I didn't learn anything
once I'd visited it.

Now...

What is the purpose of the website?

Is this a hobby or business site?

If it's business, how will you make money?

What will the readers get from the site that they
do not get from other similar websites?

The site is missing a headline to cause excitement/interest
in visitors.

Why not ask all the people in your forum what they want
from the site and then give it to them. Build a relationship
with them and in time you'll be able to sell them.

I said it would be direct... but I hope it helps.

Best wishes

I agree with Geoff.

When I visited the site I didn't know what it was about and what it offered me.

Header is great.

I'm not a big baseball fan (unless the Cardinals are in World Series) but the site has a nice look.
