I would appreciate any type of advice on what I might be able to do in order to increase traffic and better by site. My site has been established for sometime now and traffic isn't to much different since the day I launched it. Anyone have any tips out there? Check it out at http://www.techlowdown.com .Please PM me or email me at techlowdown@gail.com

Thanks- Zach

You might want to go into more detail when you give the low down on tech news. For example, in http://www.techlowdown.com/misc-gage...h-of-a-finger/ you mention there can be 50 users on a flash drive. Can they be forgot if the thing runs out of battery power? Is it as secure as a traditional safe? Why is there a gun in it in your image - if we order one, does ours come with a fire arm? In http://www.techlowdown.com/storage/a...s-at-macworld/ you say it's a cheap wifi hard drive. How fast is it? Can you listen to music stored on it from a computer? Can you watch a DVD stored on it? Or is it for backing up PowerPoint files?

Your links page is confusing. I'm a hip hop fan since the late 1970s, but if I come to your site to read about Mac laptops, why do I want to look at the 2 hip hop sites there, or the sneakers one? Even as a person who likes that kind of music, I'm not interested, and wonder what on earth that has to do with a tech news site?

Your counter says 11 people can be on your web site at the same time. That probably won't inspire confidence in people who know what it means, and I think on a tech news web site that will be most of your users.

Since this is the SEO forum, you could try doing some SEO to see if Google might send more people your way. That could involve things like using heading tags and also dropping the link exchanges that aren't effective SEO anyway. But I'm guessing when you say you want to improve your success, you mean make more $$$ through ads. Which means bringing more people into your site who want to buy the things your advertisers are selling. For that to happen, compare yourself against something like CNET and then find (or invent) reasons a person would go to your site instead.

PS - I think you posted your email address backwards?

Your site seems pretty good, actually.

I would definitely remove the counter, as it can't be helping you unless it's showing Maddox-size pageloads.

Also, get a new logo. :-( Your current one just strikes me as kind of ugly, mostly because of the font. I would spend more time on that, since it's just about the first thing any visitor will see.

Other than that, just try to get the word out about your site, as it seems like something useful that people would want to read.
