Yeah, set up a Twitter account for your site and tweet things about games in general (and throw in stuff about promotions from the site). Link to your Twitter account on your site and in emails. Then eventually you'll get a sizable following on Twitter and you can use that to communicate with people.

Keep promoting your site, there are lots of ways. Social networking sites is one. And link building does help on your traffic as well. If you don't have the time for all of this then just hire someone..

Hi,

I must agree with just about everything everyone else has posted. You already know and have a niche you are trying to reach. My advice is to use every possible form of advertisement that will help create product branding, backlinks and website recognition. You seem to be doing all the right things however do take advantage of some of the free advertisement options that can help create site awareness and won't cost you a penny. For your site social networking is definitely a PLUS. Finally create backlinks by submitting lots of article related to video games and the likes and comment on forums and blogs related to the topic. It's a lot of work but success does not come easy.

Good Luck!

Write more articles and submit them to article directories. Add links from blog commenting and social bookmarkings.
