How to drive traffic to my niche websites?

Can anyone help me think of innovative ways to drive traffic to niche websites?

I have 2 sites that I am trying to drive traffic to. Let’s just say traffic/clicks are slow at the moment. One is a retirement information resource called http://afteriretire.com, the other is a dorm room shopping site, http://ballerdorm.com.

Your suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!!

Answer
I’ve taken a look at your retirement site. From what I can tell, there are only 3 pages. If you really want to get a significant amount of traffic, you need to add a lot more content – about 50 pages or so.

I know that sounds daunting, but you will only really draw traffic if the search engines see you as a legit information site that really helps people. You can start out with the three pages you have and then make more pages branching off of each one.

For instance, in the Income page, do another page linking from each step that goes into more detail about that step, etc.

As you flesh out your sites, you can then submit them to free or paid directories which will also increase your ranking in the search engines. Too, you can get link exchanges with other related sites, perhaps from retirement community sites, etc.

This is just a few ideas. For more detailed helpful info., check out the free ebooks available in my profile. They were a help to me when I was getting started. You may benefit from reading them as well.

All the best.

Niche site for Google Adsense or not?

I have a blog on how to save money. It’s a small niche topic so it’s hard to post quality content regularly, but targeted enough for Google Adsense. I thought about creating a self help and personal development site like Steve Pavlina. I would never run out of excellent content to print, but I’m afraid my Google Adsense ads would be very irrelevant because of so many sub-topics. What to do?

Answer
If you go to the Adsense questions and answers in Google, you will find a lot of information and resources on how to deal with this.
One suggestion is ‘section targeting’ where you can specify which part of your website you want Google to target in selecting ads. Here is the link:

Would you like to join niche bbw dating site?

I am a BBW. Over the years, I’ve tried lots of personals sites with limited results. I always wondered if the responses to my ads were few and far between due to my size. At the end of Aug 2006, my friend gave me a link to go on, it was http://www.pluscupid.com . So I joined it. After a few weeks I started chatting to Frank. At this moment we’re looking to buy a house. We’re expecting our first child together. If you are a bbw and feel hard to find a partner, would you like to join this niche bbw site?

Answer
God, I’m out of touch – just what does BBW stand for?

Congratulations to you and Frank, that is a great story!

How do I find info about the number of hits a web site gets each day?

I’m interested in looking at how many unique visitors Site A vs. Site B gets. Most of the sights I will want to look at are not the big names, but smaller, more niche associated…(Offroad enthusiast). I remember seeing a site a few years ago that had this type of information (I believe they even had categories that listed the top sites in that category) but can’t seem to find it throught searching now.
OK – Let me clarify a little. I don’t need the counter / stats for my web site. What I woul dlike to do is get the stats for different offroad web sites without having to ask / wade through each site.

Answer
the closest thing is alexa.com but for smaller sites the results are too extrapolated.

siteadvisor has some kind of stats also.
