You can do as we did and add a"Find us on Facebook" logo. When people click ours it takes you to our Facebook group for the game. And FB is a great way to get members cuz when someone joins the group, then all of their friends see that they joined an some get curious and click it and end up...

Glad you found it informative. I have some new thoughts, but want to make sure they haven't been posted already before. My internet was down for a bit so...just catching up.

Yes, we have the CPanel stats, but I also like to have Google Analytics anyhow. Better to have two then one. That way you can compare to make sure the stats you get are accurate or if one is off then you know you have a problem. @ ichwar - Not sure who those fingers are pointed at. Are they at...

Just another person trying to drum up traffic for their site and no offense, but this site doesn't have much to offer. The only way to become big nowadays is to have a unique site. A site that offers something new or at least offers a new format for the same old same old or with some new...

Well, was just thinking that since this thread has the most views and is quite informative, maybe it could be stickied? Most new posts just relate to "Get more traffic by visiting my site!" Seems kinda lame to me. Anyhow, as you wish. Would be a shame to see a good thread die by way of attrition.

Not to discourage you, but I don't think a bounce rate of 30%-35% is acceptable. Try to keep this going down, the lower the better. Basically what a 35% bounce rate tells Google is that out of every visit you get to your site, at least 35% of the visitors leave right away without even really...

Hi Freecrm Not to rin on your parade or anything, but I have studied SEO quite extensively and of course have a couple of my own sites and can honestly say that there really is no secret or mystery to it. If you have the hits to your site then it will climb in the ranks, if you don't? Then you...

Ya I caught that after the fact, but since I have no edit option, there is really nothing I can do. :)

Another thought about good advertising? If you find a site that is good to advertise or promo your site on, then check that sites partners or affiliates. Often the affiliates will be good also OR will be owned by the same base company which means their partners they list will be good to...

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'm glad this little tutorial may help some people. On that note, I am always looking at new ways to get more members and started to utilize a new source to gain traffic. It's referral/recruitment links. How it works: Basically, every single member on the...

@ John Not sure how it would work on a forum. It would depend on the forum itself and the admin panel settings. I would start though at looking into the test option. Maybe you could set up numerous test accounts with different names and have them all forwarded to your email address. If not and...

Well the thing is John, when you make your own site, you don't even need a different computer in your home or office. All the NPC's that I used were registered to MY email address and all had the same login password. So if someone sent one of them a message, guess what? They got a quick reply...

Well not really. Since I started chatting here I have received about 10 hits to my site from X10 so it's hardly a place I come to advertise. The forum is very diverse and many different types of sites. If it were all RPG related then ya, by now I probably would have received quite a few hits...

@ balaji2u Honestly, I don't want to get off topic. I can answer this for you in PM if you want but I wish to keep this thread related to advertising as i should be and not changing domain names. ;) As for the advertising side, I have since made a banner for trials on a couple paid advertising...

Glad you liked it balaji2u. :) If I think of any more I'll let ya's all know, but so far these are the best free ways.
