You could have a look at http://www.adbrite.com/ and http://www.bidvertiser.com/ as alternative ad networks. You might also consider buying advertising space on some of the major webmaster forums such as Sitepoint and Digitalpoint.

Have you done any basic SEO on the site?

Is the site a content site, a blog or other type of site?

Feel free to provide a link to your site for more specific suggestions.

Show you are not just an expert in your field, get people thinking you are THE expert in your field.
Place a link in your sig at every forum you belong to, join more if need be and talk it up with them. Help with every comp. tech question they have.
Write articles for the ezine sites with a link to your site. Tell the world the best choices for hardware and software.
Comment at blogs and on peoples social network pages that have similar content, putting your link in to the comment. Give them the thumbs up, stroking their ego, and they'll help you out too.
Get people that have blogs write about your site. (You may have to do a blog post exchange.) That ego stroking again.
Publish an ebook on computer tech and put it in your links/sigs as a free ebook.

Last resort, after exhausting all of your free options, you could buy traffic.

I didn't put my weblink in my post as well as in my siggy because i thought it may against the TOS as my site is related to technology and not related to business....!

So here is my website link"Tech-Exclusive" (http://tech-exclusive.com)

Looking at the site I see Google may be loosing it's popularity, which is true from what I have observed. For the online business community that relies heavily on search engine traffic, this is very important for their business.

The other article is the Wii downloads, this is going to put a damper on off line and online businesses that rent those out, or rely on the games as torrents, the ad dollars that the people using their torrent site bring in will drop, since the traffic will slow down their net real estate values drop.

Good luck, and remember, the site is related to you, and you are related to the forum, so get it in your sigs. If you are asked to remove it, then you can, but most forums will not ask since it is not an affiliate link but a news and information source.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I am using my website link in various forums....I have tried here also but siggy is not appearing(No image).I don't what is the problem.I think it must be disabled here.

Keep us updated on how it works out for you.

Nice blog, good luck with it.

Please see a couple of comments below;

There is a large white area below the logo, it looks as if there should be ads or something in it, but it is just blank.

You should do some basic SEO, for a start you could put relevant key words in your title tag.

Most of your visitors are probably using higher screen resolutions, but you might want to be aware that your site is not optimised for 800 x 600 screen resolution.

@fergal,
I know that there is a vacant space below the logo.I will be creating one image to place over there but I'm waiting to complete my exams so that I will look into it.Till then I'm not making any changes in the site.

BTW how to optimize it for 800 x 600 screen resolution? Do you have any idea?

@BlueEew,
I am doing all the things which you have mentioned in the post but I am noob at SEO.I am learning new thing day by day on seo related forums as well as on DP.

[pendelton]

You shouldn't optimize for any screen resolution, you should have it set to use all available browser window space possible for every resolution.

I'd have to look more in to WP to see how it reacts to having multiple CSSs called via a JS, but you should be able to do it.

Before when I designed a site I designed four sites, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x768, and 1600x1200, each in its own CSS. Since then CSS has become more advanced so I think you can specify right in one CSS, although I may be wrong on this.

I use a 1600x1200 resolution with a window width of just under that, about 1550x975, as I do not have any IMs or other stuff open. On your site I have a good two inches of screen available on each side of the content. Wasted space that you could have more stuff in, ads, text content, images, or increase font size to accommodate the resolution. Every pixel is valuable.

vB forums are designed to use all available width, I have very little, 10 to 20 pixels, wasted space on the edges. Most pay forums are that way, UBB as an example, while phpBB wastes the space.

Three ways you can make full use of your visitors viewable browser area is to use percentages in your CSS or to use a JS to choose the CSS you want used. The third is to search the WP themes and find a variable width one you like.

Use http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp to check out CSS.

you can submit your site to many directories.

article writing also increases traffic and is a successful way.
make a youtube video and submit it to youtube.

[sarahFreder]

the best way of creating more traffic for a site is through participating forum and social networking sites. the participation should be like just like that you should post and interesting useful stuff and create a link from that post to recieve good traffic for your site..

Just note that, Search engines like google always prefer Fresh, unique, original and quality content. At the same time also keep an eye on quality of backlinks. Check the page strength of the page from where you are getting your link from, if possible.

btw, it is not a bad idea to have a promo of some kind to attract more users.

[falguni1]

submit your site to social bookmarking sites you will get high traffic.
use adbrite for advertising they will charge you pennies per click because they pay pennies to publishers.
