SEO is one of the most important methods to increase traffic. And content is another important factor for communities. Make sure your site has some high quality and attracting content. You can also try forum posting, guest posting, etc.

If your content is good enough then try and get linked up with some related blogs/websites. A good reputable site will help to boost your SEO as well as driving traffic directly to your site.

Have a look at Fiverr website they do SEO and traffic gigs for small fees

Facebook advertising is usually a good option to engage users and it doesn't cost too much. You should definitely give it a try.

If you could afford to shell out a few then you could also do online advertising like Google Adwords or Facebook ads. Carefully choose your target audience for your ads.

You could also increase your business' exposure in your networks. Comment to some posts of your followers that are related to your business. The more you get your name out there, the better. Of course, be careful not to make each post or comment as spam!

All the best,
Erik

Do SEO off page works like blog commenting, forum posting, social bookmarking helps to increase website traffic.

As others have said, you need to practice online marketing e.g email, paid advertising, social media whilst alsomeasuring the results of this activity. Avinash Kaushik's book Web Analytics An Hour A Day is a good start.

Social media is a great way that can help you drive traffic and visitors to your site. One of the most important in a website is its content. Having a unique, informative and helpful content can also get you lots of visitors. Readers my refer your site to their friends, family and colleagues.

Hi!

Try to use SMM, work with public, engage in conversations, show that you really care about their opinions. You say that you are not getting good results.

Remember that it's a matter of time, work hard and you'll receive results.

People should trust you and that's a long way to win it.

Good luck and never give up!

The most popular ways to drive traffic to a site is social media (including paid methods like Facebook ads) and PPC.

As for social media, I can recommend that you not only update your pages on a regular basis, but also join relevant groups and participate in conversations there. Try to provide some input to group discussions and this will drive additional traffic to your site.

As for improving customer engagement, you may check this source - http://www.localvisibilitysystem.com/blog/. Phil Rozek gives a lot of helpful advice on local SEO, and in particular on how to get more customer reviews. And there are also interesting articles about blogging for a local business.

Really? For me, Google is the single largest driver of traffic. (Assuming you're not including PPC)

Social is growing as a % but search is still the best place to gain traffic (and customers!)

 

[Mersey Developments]

yes I agree, social media is a really god way of promoting

 

[CinchTechnologies.]

You could try PPC, SEO Blogging and forum posting, also try to produce engaging content, you could try to research a few niches on twitter and facebook etc. and see if it gets results (one example is animals, it's also something advertisers frequently use); you could also try to give advice, just try to avoid coming accross as begging.

Yeah Google seems to be biggest driver from what I've seen (Google+), I can't remember the actual users but it is significantly higher then facebook if I recall.

Sure, I absolutely agree! I mean, besides organic traffic from search engines, social media and PPC are good for traffic generation. And as it usually takes some time until SEO starts delivering results, it makes sense for new sites to use PPC and social media at early stages. That's what I wanted to say, but you're right, nothing beats Google when it comes to driving traffic

For me - as well. But I'm struggling to get them engaged...

For your market and target audience I would not recommend SEO as it will take you a long time to see visitors from SEO based promotions for your keywords. This being said as Im an SEO guy Im not a fan of PPC marketing. I would go down the social media route but try to create a social following instead of social ads.

Also think about ads or links on other sites other than facebook/Google. Banner ads will convert well if you get one on another website that is related to your site but maybe their site is only for information purposes whereas yours is business based.

So for a community based website focused on the latest trends that's creating more and more content exponentially you wouldn't recommend SEO? Lol.

If this website is well optimized and the OP is pushing out daily unique content on the latest trends as she stated then it should pick up plenty Organic traffic. Something wrong if not.

It heavily depends on the site.

One site I've been working on lately gets under 8% of it's traffic from Search Engines and over 50% from affiliates.

Well that likely means the website is under performing and being outranked in Organic search as the affiliates will most likely be driving traffic to their own websites from Google...

One of the best idea is to start blog commenting in the niche area and if you have money then promote it through ppc on high ranking sites.

I am the same situation with you. Since web building is a long large work we should do little everyday. If you finish it in short time, then you will deserve the Consequences!
Just do little every day, we will find that it works.
