  • Find other sites that focus on your niche, find celeb sites, etc. Work on link exchanges or guest posts or email list recruitment exchanges.

    • To maximize SEO benefit, structure the link exchanges as 3 way exchanges

      You have to have 2 sites, A and C. The partner site is B. A links to B which links to C.

      A <> B link exchanges don't confer as much value now as before.
  • Hey coolidge... I would keep building out your "keyword tree"...

    If you're getting 1k page views per day then you are obviously optimizing well... now keep building out more content on keywords that are relative to your niche... find more exact match kw's with min 1k searches per month and max 40k competing pages... then target these.

    For instance you might find 15 good kw's and add 2 articles per kw over the next 30 days...

    Over the next month you'll be amazed at how much of a traffic increase you can get if you keep using the tactics that have got you to where you are already...

    All the best...

  • I would rather focus more on off-site optimization to increase my ranking. For me off-site gives a larger boost on ranking than on-site. This from my experience of ranking my sites. I have a site that outranks another site and that site is almost on-site optimized while mine has no on-site optimization done. Quality backlinks can definitely beat your competitors.
  • Traffic is all about Content and then Backlinks & social media.

    Add new pages to your site, with each page to a specific keyword. Be sure to make the keywords in the title of the page and the h1 tag. If you can, put an image on the page with the file name and alt text as that keyword.

    Then Backlinks. For each of those pages, you will have to create backlinks to it using the keyword you optimized that page for. Try blog commenting, building 2.0 web properties, social bookmarking, and submitting your articles to article directories

    Right now social media also one of the main source for the getting more traffic.

    We just share article, press release or blog on different different social media websites like facebook, twiiter, digg...and also we connected with large number of people thus we can get more traffic.
  • Use social bookmarking for creating more traffic...
  • Thanks for the overwhelming advice and responses. I have been writing close to 10 articles a day, and trying my best to keep them SEO as possible. My page views have increased to 1500 a day, and I am averaging about 100 subscribers a week.

    Is this a good start?

    I still have not added advertisements to the website, if I do how much do you think I can possibly earn a month?

    Again thanks for the help and support, in the future, if there is a way to help out fellow members I will.

    • Have you tried looking for ad platforms? There are some platforms that don't require a minimum amount of traffic. Maybe you should check into that and try running different ads until you see which works best. Ad placements can bring you a lot of money; but there is no official formula of how much it can earn you a month, since this depends on which visitors you get, what ad campaigns get the most clicks, and a number of other factors.
      For example, you can have only 10 unique visitors on a given day, but if all of them click on a certain banner, you'll get a lot of conversions and generate earnings.

      Hope this was helpful,

      Good luck!

    • It requires sometime to get rank in search engine optimization as you have to wait for that because it needs time to spider the site by google bot. You have to do bookmarking submission,directory submission, forum submission, leaving comments on blogs, writing and submitting articles and Latest press release.

    did you do some linkbuilding , backlinks
  • i didn't do too much link building. I know I can buy links from fiverr.com but I heard that negatively affects your search engine rankings.

    I am averaging close to 400 search engine results per day. Is that pretty good for 3 months?

    I also write about 5 to 12 articles a day
  • I think social bookmarking helps a lot for getting good traffic.
