What can I add to my website?

What can I do to increase traffic to my website? What should I add to my website for you to visit frequently.?

  • The website I have created is basically a free online shopping and forums portal with free classifieds. I am trying to get more traffic to my website. I have asked my friends to ...show more

  • Answer:

    imisidro is correct - you need the visitors first then you can put (discrete) ads on the site. Also your site breaks all the fundamental rules of design like having horizontal scrolling and no immediately obvious consistent navigation etc. I suggest you sit down and read "Don't make me think" by Steve Krug http://www.sensible.com/buythebook.html and "Prioritizing Web Usability" by Jakob Nielsen http://www.useit.com/prioritizing/ Don't worry no one gets it right first time but after you have read the recommended books you will have a greater insight into how the average user behaves and how to give them what they are looking for.

Don't worry about visitors yet - work on getting your site as "friendly" as possible. Right now it is too busy and very difficult to read. Too much scrolling (left to right), and the background image needs to go. There was no navigation that I could find, and I really didn't know what I should be reading first. My best suggestion is to visit other sites that offer similar services and see how they have designed their sites. Don't "copy" but imitate them and make your site as friendly and easy to read as possible. Just remember KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid - if necessary, get a quote from a website designer to have your site done professionally. It will pay off in the long run.
