Default I just need help, i dont know what to do anymore..

Hey, I am Job im from holland im 16 years old.
My hobby's are Computers, Football, Cars. But one thing i also really like is looking for cheap used cool cars. I dont know why, but i like it. although i dont need it because im not 18.

im trying to make a website for a long time now. i already made a lot of websites but always it is no succes like nobody wants to see my page or like is isnt on the internet or some. I really like building a website but all the time i lose the fun in building the website because i think ''Ah, i quit it because i just wont get visitors, i just can't get a site with 50+ visitors a day'' (Yes i know, its terrible, but when i can get 50 visitors a day, im happy). I know i like websitebuilding because everytime just want to try it again and again and again. but none of the times its works.

Do you people know, if its is possible for me to get a site with around 50 visitors a day, or am i just to young for it of what else.

Everything helps because im really fed up with this now, because im trying all day, but it doesnt leads to anything. I already tried to make a website whats called how-2-create-a-website.co.nr ( YES, i am fed up) also tried a site with cars, what i really liked. but i just didnt get any visitors except 5 visits.. from myself..

So please, can u people please give me some tips or tutorials or some? Everything u post is cool, because i just can't see the fun in it anymore. (although it is really really really fun, but it just don't works)

Thanks!

Job

It is very possible to get 50+ visitors a day. Everyone has gone through the rough times of very few visitors.

For my blog, it took quite a while to get to the 50 visitor mark. Like everything else in life, it takes work and dedication to achieve success with web sites. Contrary to what some (no one on this forum) will tell you, web sites traffic doesn't come easily and quickly.

Stay the course and don't give up.

Thanks TechieGuy, my view on the website building thing is a lot changed. everywere in forums i saw things as ''My site got 2000 visitors a day'' or '' i had 10000 visitors a week when i start''. and also when u search oon google all the sites say like ''3 simple steps to get traffic'' and such. So now i know its just difficult and takes a lot of time.

now i am gonna focus me on 1 site. it is gonna be a site about the newest Concept Cars, and news in the car world. I guess i also make a guide with something about used cars (because i like searching used cars to ) i guess i just can do my hobby's, and put the stuff i like on the site

Thanks for telling me the truth.

( U maybe got some ideas for a domainname? i thought CarFanatix was cool but u know something more?)

Those sites that mention quick traffic are usually garbage. Real traffic takes time and effort to get. In my sig I have a link to my traffic stats of my blog for the first year, so it gives some idea of what you may expect.

Now that you have an idea on a site, you will need to think about how you will present your information. If you will be writing content on a frequent basis where you provide the latest news, then you may want to look into blogs. They are easy to create and search engines seem to love them.

If you want more static, less updated, pages then you can create a traditional web page. Obviously, others on this forum can provide much more information.

Don't worry about traffic in the beginning until you have some decent, unique content on your site.

Hi Job,

It's absolutely possible and TechieGuy gave some good advice. When I'm helping people start out I always ask them to think of a problem (acne, dry skin, depression, etc.) and build a site that tells people how to solve that problem. You can begin marketing your site by finding forums that relate to the subject matter and build a reputable profile by chatting with other members. You could also find blogs that relate to these topics and comment as well. There are a lot of free ways to build traffic if you work hard.

It takes time. I think it took me about a year to get 200 visits per day with 2createawebsite.com (or maybe more) but you have to keep building content and constantly looking for new ways to market your site.

The key is finding something you are interested enough in to stick with it for longer than a few weeks. Could it be that you gave up too early on your site?

Default Traffic A Dream That Takes Time

Every one pass through this phase of checking Google analytic traffic stats every day.Most people quit writing content because of traffic disappointment but very few who continue writing unique and quality content achieve success.First few months of every site is all about depression and disappointment.So don't be disappointed,good time will come.

I have been a member of this forum for about 8 months. I have learned so much about marketing my up coming sites. The site that I currently have, is getting about 60 unique visits a day. It has only been on line for about 6 months. It is not built very well, but it is doing better than I expected.

My point is: like the others said, it is not going to happen over night. Learn the right way to market your site and in time it will happen.

hi,
I suggest you start a blog; so that you can concentrate on writing the content and worry less about coding and making your web pages and with blogs with proper optimization it is fairly easy to get 50+ uniques provided your content is good.

I do this professionally and i can help you setting up your blog, search engine optimize it and install all the necessary plugins for the blog as well as setup proper tracking programs for your blog. Do contact me if you need any professional help in doing it!

Thanks!

Pranz.
