What advertising methods work?

[Barrucadu]

I'm currently using traffic swarm but I havent noticed a change in traffic yet, any free methods that work?

affiliating/link exchange?

i've submitted my site to a few link directories, and used one of those 160+ search engine submitter things, and now i'm using tolkeins Traffic Swap, so any other methods that work?

Don't use these. These ruin your sites chances of getting good/any listing in search engines such as Google.

Try link exchange with similar sites which will get targeted traffic to your site. Advertise your site in the advertising and offers section of forums.

I might say you should first make some changes to the look and feel of the site, as right now it looks very dark and nothing really about fun.

Search Google to see what others are doing in your domain.

Personally I will suggest you use adwords for some time just to drive initial targeted traffic.

Target your site to get members signed up by giving them an incentive to do so.

Once you've build your members to a certain number, use your registered members to double the traffic and registration by offering them incentives to bring in new members...

Use things like contests, sweep takers, free gifts to get people spread the word.

You may even incorporate a free greeting card section where people can send greeting cards to friends; this will pull a viral effect for you.

Dont you think that good site design works only to make any visitor return again and again ?
BUT WHAT ABOUT GETTING VISITORS FIRST TIME ?
