    Why do you use 'co.za' domain?

      It's our local domain. My market relates better with it.

    You have alot to learn my friend.

    By making a post like this you are opening yourself up to the countless PM's of people offering you the "magic bullet"

    The truth is that there is no magic bullet.

    There are countless ways to drive traffic to your website. One of the best and easiest ways to get started is youtube.

    Make a quality video and upload it to youtube. Optimize it for good keywords, and spend a little time making it right.

    Then send some high quality views and backlinks to help it rank for the keywords you optimized for. Now repeat this a few hundred times and you will quickly grow your traffic to an amazing level.

    The key here is consistency. Try to do 1 video at least daily if not weekly...

    You are right there is no magic bullet, the only way to drive traffic on the cheap or with out paying for it is consistency. Or find a mentor who has years of experience and the right contacts.

    Website traffic rank is evaluated based on three months of traffic data that is incoming from users of Alexa Toolbar users, which are not few at all, and from other traffic data sources. It is basically a combined measure of page views and reach.

    Patience, grasshopper.

    You want sustainable, long term traffic to grow a sustainable, long term business.

    Learn your craft and you'll be good to go.

    It looks like you have a decent following already but this could be from the overpriced services that I saw selling on the page. This is going to be a tough market for you to be in as you are always going to have to compete with fiverr. Do you get a percentage of any sells like fiverr does or are you just trying to make money from ads? If you are serious about making money with this, I would recommend Facebook and YouTube ads but there will always be alot of sellers and finding the buyers for them is going to be the toughest part

      We do charge a commission. I totally agree with you regarding pricing. However this freelance thing is totally new here and those who knew of it purchased services elsewhere because of our pricing locally. However I will try put a cap to it and allow customised offers. Regarding facebook advertising I have tried it and really didn't do well and youtube adverts I will admit I am totally blank.

    i've read somewhere that making backlinks for fb fan page is also good for ranking page for the keyword and through this way you can collect likes to your page and more likes = more views to your Link.

    Honestly the best way today is to start with Twitter and Social Media, and offer high value content to people, you'll naturally be contacted by other marketers who resonate with you, build relationships, and get promoted through them, as well as your name spread around.

    Like wasa said, there's no magic bullet, it's a process of growing and nurturing relationships, and offering value to your customers. That's a business plan that can't fail!

    I'll add a few personal input. I've spent years studying design, and you also want to consider what happens when someone actually lands on your website, because otherwise you're going to have a much harder time, because it will take 500 customers to do what you can do with 50 if your website is well designed.

    Like, when I go to your website, there's no focal point - eyes first jump to the animation, which confuses my brain looking for context, meaning, and value - my eyes dart all over the place searching for meaning - why am I here ?

    That question is only answered by scrolling down - you want your core message in their mind, of what you do, and why you can help them the second they land on your page - they want to know who you are, and what you offer.

    I'd remove the background animations, and just focus on the content and education about your business as the first thing on the page.

    Good idea. If you are willing to pay, you can hire freelancer. I am sure they will be able to fulfill your expectation. In this case you can choose the do-follow link more then the No-follow link. Because the Do-follow link increase the site traffic & Page rank at the same time, while the No-follow link increase the manual traffic only. Thanks.

    well, there is no easy way to do this but go the hard way, find your audience where they reside and interact with them, don;t invite them to your site but remember to leave a link to direct them to your site,
    Ensure to take care of keywords, make it easy for search engine to rank you.
    It will take time but consistence will finally pay off

    Wow, it is a good idea. I have seen your site. I think it is a good site. here I would like to suggest you to use multiple gateway to deposit & withdrawal money. If Freelancer get many way to get paid their earnings, of course they will use your site. beside this, you should charge a reliable amount. Such as Odesk take commission 10% of the total amount while the Fiverr take 20% of the total amount. If you charge less than 10%, I hope you will get more & more Freelancer & client/ buyer here. You should do some SEO to increase your site traffic & page rank. to do the SEO, you can hire freelancer.

      I think, that on the long run finally the quality of your freelancer will decide about your success. As a confused customer, I like to go to a site by recommendation from friends or customers. So, you might should consider to open a training program for your freelancers. You could come from to ends, on the one side you could make business by coaching them (with job opportunities) and later that you have good quality writers/designers.
      Just my two cents, good luck
