Well, recently I have been developing a community & content website dealing with World of Warcraft, and at the start of it, I was a complete novice to promoting websites and getting users.. well in just over a month, I have nearly 50,000 unique visitors total, i average anywhere from 800 to 2300 unique visitors a day!

What did I do to get the traffic? Well first off I put it in my signature on some related forums I post at, I have around 300 posts total accumulated on all of the related websites.

But best of all, to keep my traffic fresh and help my ranking in search engines, I used social bookmarking // article websites .. not just Digg, but others too! I didn't pick the normal ones like FURL, Reddit, techcrunch, or whatever. Those are good to use, but I prefer to only use them to get more backlinks. I tried to pick out some sites that were low on content in my niche, and I found a couple of great sites, check 'em out:

DIGG: http://www.digg.com/users/darthnuri
Standard stuff, you guys know digg.

LEETDAILY: http://www.leetdaily.com/?user=242
Gaming social bookmarking website, very similar to digg.com

GAMECRUNCH: http://www.gamercrunch.com/user.php?login=darthnuri
Gaming social bookmarking website, very similar to digg.com (seems they have more console game type news)

WOWTICK: http://www.wowtick.com/user.php?login=darthnuri
World of Warcraft social bookmarking site, very similar to digg.com (specific targeted social bookmarking site is very good)

SENGO: http://www.sengo.com/id/darthnuri
Sengo lets you submit articles.. I submit a quick paragraph with a summary of the article, enter my keywords, and to read the rest of the article they must click and go through to my site.

MYLOT: http://www.mylot.com/darthnuri?ref=darthnuri
MyLot has alot of opportunities, you can start discussions about/linking to your topic, you can start discussions about/linking to your own website, you can upload images about your site, and best of all they will pay you to do it!

BLOSKER: http://bored.blosker.com/user/darthnuri
Blosker lets you post links with a tiny thumbnail or avatar next to them.. kinda neat idea for a site with a good layout.

Aside from those, I'm just working on directories and blog comments to get some more PR! Enjoy, everyone .. and happy promoting!
