How Can I Get More Traffic For My Skateboarding Website For Free?

You need to sort the site out - others have commented, but the bottom line is even if you manage to attract people to visit your site it is unlikely to hold their attention. So consider the design carefully, make it simple and easy to use because....

....the most cost effective way of marketing your business is to develop word of mouth.

People need a reason to come back to your site and pass the URL on. So use a blog to create regular, fresh content for people to come back to. Something like Blogger is good enough.

Each blog post needs to be easy to share. I'm sure you've seen those "Share" links on the bottom of pages that allows you to tell people on Facebook, Linkedin, diggit and so on about your site. They're easy to set up and can be embedded quite simply into your site.

Get out there as well, get onto Twitter and tell people when you've updated your site, same with Facebook, Myspace, Bebo and whatever else you can think of. Be wary of being a little too "in your face" about the updates though - you may end up being labelled a spammer - and remember to give a little back with retweeting and links to other interesting sites and articles that you might come across.

The most important thing, though, is to have some patience. It is going to take a few months for your site to start building that critical mass that means repeat visitors. When that happens you should start to see the cash coming in. But for now, be patient, keep plugging away.
