How to get more traffic to my website for free?

[MrChittoChatto]

How can I get more traffic, reviews and forum posts on my website. People just aren't contributing to my website. I've had over 100 visits and nobody's really contributed to it. What's the reason for this? I offer a competition on my website, where you can win a £15 item of your choice if you contribute towards it the most.

100 hits? 75 of them are probably spiders/web crawlers. offer something nobody else has.

Yea, that's so little traffic you can't guess what's going in, many sales sites only get 1 in 100 visitors to take action, wait until you have had thousands, then examine the stats.

Don't know what people are expected to contribute, you cam pay regular article writers about £3 for a search spider bait article.

In most cases search engines are a major source of traffic, you need to satisfy their requirements, to get more people to see your competition.
