Hi All,
I have been reading through some of the treads on this forum with great interest, and I thought I would start a new thread in the hope of getting some specific advice from users.
I lauched a new website a few months ago:
Irish Towns Online - Irish Weather & News, Maps of towns in Ireland - mytown.ie. It is a local community/portal site for every town in Ireland. Google Analytics tell me that I am getting 6k unique visitor and 28k pageViews in the last 30 days. This is pretty encouraging but of course I want more. 80% of my traffic is coming from SearchEngines as the site is built with SEO in mind.
I want to gain awareness of the site to get more users. I will list what I have done, and am working on:
1. Submitted the site to directories and Search Engines
2. Sent some link requests with very limited success (if you own a website feel free to add a link to it ;))
3. Sent Press Releases about the website launch to some local newspapers
The site is designed to make revenue through advertising and premium business listings. As yet I do not have revenue to spend on marketing so I need to try to get users to the site for free. I am sure that some of you will have some good ideas of how to get more traffic to the site that I will not have thought of.
Thanks in advance for your help
