I recently built and launched a new Q&A / Discussions site with a social element. I wondered if anyone had any tips for driving traffic to the site? I am not sure if SEO would be an option?

    A Q&A site certainly does sound interesting from an SEO perspective. If it is a broad Q&A I think SEO will be hard. The best thing would probably be to encourage a lot of activity on the site. Like some people said use facebook, forum signatures etc.

    Please do share your progress. It sounds really interesting!

    First of all create valuable content. Find good keywords like "How to ...". Create content based on these. And place good links. High PR - is good, but I would rely on site's trust, age, and traffic.

    Keywords:
    how to tie a tie
    how to write a cover letter
    how to make french toast
    how to train your dragon
    how to tie a bow tie
    how to boil eggs
    how to lose weight
    how to make cake pops
    how to draw
    how to hard boil eggs
    how to add fractions
    how to address a letter
    how to ask a girl out
    how to ask for a raise
    how to apply eyeshadow
    how to apply for a passport
    how to apply eyeliner
    how to apply for food stamps
    how to address wedding invitations
    how to access icloud
    how to boil eggs
    how to bake a potato
    how to bake chicken
    how to bake salmon
    how to bake a sweet potato

    and so on

    I run an article directory so I know what you are dealing with. It can be difficult since you are dealing with a very broad topic. Submit your site to high pr free directories, find relevant lens, hubs, or web 2.0 sites to get links from. Then seed your site with your own articles like pava suggested. Once the you get a little bit of traffic coming it will grow fast because of the user generated content bringing in more search engine traffic.

    Then sit back and setup some advertising =]
