What works and what doesn't?

[Barrucadu]

In advertising? what free methods work and dont work? i've tried link directories but thats not working very well, for some reason i'm getting on average 100 visits per day but I want to increase that to at least 100 visitors per hour, how could I do this? i've looked at loads of free advertising programs and none of them work, is there any good way of getting traffic?

First things first...make sure your site can be searched through google

Make sure you target the right audience, and don't waste time on one's you know won't be interested.

Make sure you site looks good, and provide constant up to date content. If your content is updated once a week, of course you'll lose visitors.

hmm... for some reason after 9 days my site is still unindexed by any search engines...

but apart from that i'm adding new games and videos quite often, i'm thinking of dropping the downlaods section as I rarely do anything with it.

I would suggest you to optimise your site and select proper, relevant keywords. That might help.

the thing is, i've been crawled by search engines 47 times, but never indexed...

I would say make sure that your ranking is good. Maybe consult some SEO people. Also I would recommend getting partnerships with some other, similar, sites that have a huge populace. Then you can have banner ads for each other.
