Website Traffic - 8/3/2005 10:30:42   
Hey all...

Besides using Google AdSense, What are some other ways to get a website out there? I'm using adsense now and have found my ranking on google to fall to number 6 from number 1 as soon as i started using it! I know that should have no impact but why would my ranking fall if i am posting their ads on my site? Thats another story though....

Anyway... Im looking to get my site out there without forking out lots of cashola ( cuz i have none ). Are their any places on the net that do mostly banner exchanges or such? Any decent places???

Thanks..
dpf

there are now billions and billions of web sites - who is your target audience? local, national or international? general public or targeted audience?

Hey there...

I'm national targeting anyone that wants to post blogs, personal webpages, photos, etc... All free no strings.

Kinda like Myspace but different. www.evilbar.com

The fact you use that service will have no effect on your rankings.

Think of it like this. In the morning your mom cooks your meat that is spoiled, but it still tastes good so you eat it. Turns out it has a virus that later kills you. Later on that day you eat McDonalds. Then at night you are very sick. You blame McDonalds! :)

I can tell form your site right now, there isn't much real content on that main page that is worth indexing. My suggestion would be to add some strong information on that front page.

Also, the dark colors kind of make me want to leave. Usually I don't mind dark websites, but this one was just too dark/red. :)

Yeah I agree.. All of the content is pulled from a database. i was not quite sure what to put out there. The opening page has always given me difficulty.

Well, we have a few SEO experts here, that might know exactly what would help, if you just ask. Might want to open a new topic and ask for suggestions.
