I've had the website Teen-Moods for several months now. I've been doing everything I can to get and retain visitors. I've tried banner networks, meta tags, mass-submitting to search engines and telling everyone in newsgroups, and on other msg boards. Its been up since June and has only 32 members!! Of wich only 5 post atleast once every 3 months or so. I can run a search on google for teen depression forum(s) and come up with all sorts of results, but my site ends up at the bottom or even on the next page. People rather go and post at banner-filled, pop-up agitating bummy sites on servers such as ezboards. The site goes on for weeks at a time without a single post. Its like, people never come anymore, but its not like the ever did. I pay 10 bux a month for a good host and 20 bux a year for the domain. If it takes more money to get hits than forget it, that site means allot to me btu I don't have credit cards let alone the actual money to pay for advertisement and such. The internet officialy sucks right now in my mind.
