My site just never seems to get visitors!


I have had my site online for about a month now and I only seem to get visitors when I post something on Twitter or prompt people to visit it. (Home - Free4Me - Get the new Kinect, Apple iPhone 4 and the Apple iPad for free)
I just cant seem to do the right thing to kick it off, I see people on here getting massive hits from their site without doing much and was wondering what I'm doing wrong? I'm posting Youtube vids, Twitter posts, listjoe ect ect.
Any advice is much appreciated!
Thank you in advance guys and girls!

Far from it, very far from it.
The people on here that get big traffic put a hell of a lot of work into their site.
Hours and hours of backlink building, article writing and on-site SEO.

Some also spend a lot of money outsourcing promotion work and paying for certain software and online promotion tools.

No-one can just make a site and get massive traffic without putting in the work to climb the ranks.

So that's what you are doing wrong, see above

Post in forums, FB... As long as I see you have 13 greens, so it doesn't matter the quantity of the visitors. It seems you have quality visitors
SEO is the best to get many quality visitors but it's the hardest way.

Right ok so I'm not doing enough to get results. Firstly I'm finding it really hard to actually define what SEO is exactly. And also where to post blogs ect. I don't have FB and I wouldn't know what to do with it if I did! I'm so out of touch these days!
So with SEO is it physically changing my site to comply with search engine parameters or what I do to promote it?
I'm in need of some help if someone could give me some guidance in detail?

HA! HAAAA! Nothing? Nothing!!?!?!

Yes, we all sit on our arses and somehow magically all these visitors and green materialise, I've not been sat on my laptop for 4 hours today and 5 hours yesterday writing articles and content, and SEOing the bum off of a couple of new sites, not at all.

But seriously, all you need is time, I've been at it 2 years and can honestly say that there weren't many days that I've not been experimenting or reading or just bashing my head up against the interwebs trying to get better SERPS, you'll get better if you just take your time and learn.

Want to know how to get greens (referrals) for FreebieJeebies? I'll tell you how..... Work hard, like the rest of us! Feel free to ask questions!

sgll is just really nicesgll is just really nice
my first tip would be to sort out what keywords you will target then change your sites title. as currently its Free4Me, does this even get searched for?

Ok well that was an accident on my part as I didn't even mean to have that as a keyword, so if I change my first keywork to "free4me" then I could continue to use this? Or do you think that the number of searches will not be enough?

What sgll meant was the actual title of your website is 'free4me' where it should be something like
"Free Microsoft Kinect | Free Apple iPhone 4 | Free Apple iPhone'

If you are talking in terms of keywords, then 'free4me' will get you somewhere around zero results.

Your keywords need to be all over your website in the body text, both as bold text and anchor links.

Then you need to target your keywords in your promotions. Push your anchor links via backlinks etc.

This is so helpful and really appreciated! I'm gonna do this now while it's fresh in my head. So I'm ok with all of that but the only thing is "anchor links" throughout the site. How do I do that?

Sorry, feel the need to just elaborate on the title...
You currently have your title (line 5)
<title>Home - Free4Me - Get the new Kinect, Apple iPhone 4 and the Apple iPad for free</title>

This sounds more like a description, which you have on line 8 and is perfectly fine. This description is what will be displayed on a Google search.

Your title should really just contain your keywords, separated by either - or |

For example ...
You have on your 'freeappleproducts' page, first item, Free Apple iPhone 4.

The new Apple iPhone 4, featuring HD video capture, Facetime and boasting the title - "The worlds best and thinnest smartphone"! Get ready to be amazed!

Why not make it ...

The Free iPhone 4, featuring HD video capture, Facetime and boasting the title - "The worlds best and thinnest smartphone"! Get ready to be amazed!

And make the bold text an anchor, using html ( <a href="your ref link">Free iPhone 4</a> ) to make it a clickable link to your signup page...

Right ok so I've changed my site title and popped some of the phrases in the first paragraph of the site, linked with the associated product pages. Is this the sort of this you are talking about? If so I'll carry on
