I would remove the floating sign up you have as you already have a sign up on the header

i have removed it :) removed also arcade and some others loading is better now.

Seems to be faster loading

n4g.com is a very large gaming website and allows its contributors to post news relating to gaming. You can post news, articles, opinions, blogs etc which link straight back to your site

So my suggestion is create news relating to gaming on your site with your CMS (which is the subject matter of your site) and submit to n4g for approval.

I have posted about 8 news articles, with average referrals/hits to my site of about 1000 per day. Your google rank will improve as well.

I have been selective of the news I have posted, as obviously certain news will bring you more hits.

sign up to n4g and give it a ago, it has been by far the most effective way I have improved my hits and registrations.

PS

What CMS do you use, the standard Vbulletin 1? If so it is not too bad, that is what I use too. HERE


Also, here you can check my profile on n4g.com, check to the right and you can see my news submissions, and how they link to my site.


Edit:

Ok I see your cms, it is the VB one. I mean I am no expert but you could improve the front page, too much going on IMO


Also, too many threads that you have created with no replies. You are making the forum look like a ghost town. first impressions are good but dig a little deeper and browse to one of many threads you have created and see 0 replies is an instant put off IMO.

Will the reason why there are many posts with 0 replies is that no one reply or register and in many tutorials they say make as many posts as you can but for the replies nothing thats the reason for many posts.
In regards to n4g.com I will try it.

Thank you for the help.

I am not sure what you have read but at least for me seeing a forum with hundreds of threads but no replies is a put off. It may be different for others.

It is a shame, I can see you have worked hard with your forum. I would suggest making it fixed width, and much narrower, tidy up the front end.

There are simply 1000s of general gaming websites/forums out there, very hard to compete. My site is gaming but focuses on one game. Although that brings its own problems, it allows me to focus my content.

Give N4g.com a go. If you write your own articles, try and make them as good qualify as possible and try to best follow the guidelines.

That's because nothing in quick links relates to unregistered users only registered and some of the links only to certain usergroups...thanks for the heads up though, much appreciated ..

You need to find a way to set your board apart from the other zillion gaming boards. You have worked hard on getting your board up, but now you will need to work just as hard to find your unique niche.

Great advice @Pappaclart and @CAG CheechDogg! :)

Thank you all for your feed back. i will start by changing the home page and posting in n4g.com and other news forums, i made a clone copy of the forum at my vps server will try and change the home page, its hard working alone in populating the forum :)
