Whats up guys? I used to do affiliate marketing and that kind of stuff but I was not great at it and did not enjoy it to much. I decided that I wanted to make a website that makes money by the stuff the website offers.

I made a site kind of like craigslist but its for only one niche. I dont charge people for listing there ad but you can do stuff like add featured listing, highlight your ad or put at the top of the list for a small fee. I also have a points system where you can get points for doing stuff like postings ads, or posting in the forums, or just for logging in every 24 hours. This points can be used to get tickets for a raffle where we give away prizes.

The site has a forum a chat bar (like facebook) and a on site messaging system. I have put a lot of time into this site and dont really know my next move.

I have just over 150 members and the site is pretty active, but i really need to get more traffic. I use adwords, and i listed a classified in a magazine. I have thought about doing back linking but i wasent sure if this would help as I am looking for really niche specific traffic.

So my question to you guys is how can I get more traffic. Did I come to the right place, or can you recommend me to a place that you think can help me?

I did not post a link to the site cause im trying to keep my traffic results true, but if you PM i will give you a link and then you can tell me what you think, if that helps.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Wow! You have really done a lot, so congratulations.

    Offer some kind of contest for your members for bringing in new members or sharing. Give them some type of upgrade or something for sharing with 2 other people and something better for bringing in 5, and increase it from there.

    There are lots of other ways to get traffic that are all over this forum, so use the search on here to look for "targetted traffic, "traffic" , "how to get traffic" and other such keywords.

    Also, join the War Room, lots of free information in there.

    I would however caution you from buying cheap traffic because definitely don't get quality from that.

    Good luck.

    Well done on taking action and working on something that keeps you motivated and what you appear to be good at.

    You could make a list of all the websites (forums, blogs, fan pages etc) that your niche is in and advertise your site there. With forums you could put a link in your signature to your site and also make a post (if you are able) about what your site does and how it can benefit them.

    With blogs you could make relevant posts and put a link back to your website and could also ask if you could guest post.

    Writing articles about your niche and your website would also work.

    As the other poster suggests you could hold contests for the members that are already there.

    I hope these suggestions help.
