Getting users to my site

Hi

I have just started a website, webmaster-market.com

I am wondering how to best get webmasters to register on my site.  It appears a few people have, but how do I make sure that the website takes off, and fairly quickly?

Cheers,
Web-Master

Your post looks like a spammy one, but anyway I will try to answer your question.

The thing is very simple. Just ask yourself what your site is giving that your competitors don't?

I mean, especially for a community driven site like yours, why someone use it when it has no community and it is the same - or even worse - than others that have a community attached?

I know my words sound a little bad, but I have to point out something that is very true. Hope my advice helps

Hi, thanks for the reply and no its not spam.

But I am confused as to how I should attract a community to grow on my website when there is no one really there already.  Whats the incentive to signup and help form the community?

I have a few users since I started yesterday, but they won't stay long if the website doesn't get more community members.

Cheers,

Well that's the hardest part about communities, and that's why you should build a community over a site that already has traffic. For instance digital point was a site with several webmaster tools, and already had 50,000 members before the forum launched

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, I thought that it might be hard to get this community kickstarted.

Better get something on there that will attract users to signup and participate in the community then.  If only I could think of that thing.

Provide something useful (scripts, templates...)

I got ~3500 new members this year...

sure most of them just download, but it's a begin

Thanks for your responce.

Having scripts and tutorials is a good idea.  Will get to work writing some of them now then.

Well, if you wish, you can also pay and get targetted traffic on your website.  Use Google Program like ad-word.  Further to this, get your website Search Engine Optimized.  Submit your link to as many directories as possible.
