Short, practical checklist to make the site easier to find and to convert the traffic you already have — written as actions you can do alone and tied to points folks in this thread raised.

Start with a quick technical and content triage: verify the site in Google Search Console, confirm HTTPS and mobile friendliness, fix broken pages, make each album/track a single canonical URL and give every page a clear title + unique meta description. Prioritize the pages that already get some visits (homepage, best-selling album, single-track pages) and track changes in Search Console. (developers.google.com)

Make each release show up as a useful page: create one page per album and one per track with meaningful copy (credits, short story behind the recording, lyrics or a transcript). Add machine-readable metadata so search engines understand music pages (schema for albums/tracks) and embed proper metadata inside audio files (ID3 tags with artwork and artist info) so third‑party players and aggregators pick up correct information. These small details improve discoverability and appearance in results. (schema.org)

Speed and playback matter to real users. Audit pages with Lighthouse/PageSpeed, optimize images (next‑gen formats, lazy load), serve media from a CDN and choose sensible audio codecs/bitrates so previews stream without buffering (consider adaptive/lower bitrates for mobile). Reducing load time improves both SEO and conversion (people stay and listen). (developer.chrome.com)

Tactical promotion that scales: convert any social traction into an email list and a one‑page press kit (easy to link), produce 30–60s, shareable previews with correct Open Graph/Twitter Card meta so shares look good, and pitch niche music blogs/playlists rather than chasing generic directories. Measure everything (Search Console + analytics) and repeat what works; small, regular updates beat one big launch when you’re a tiny team. These steps build on the suggestions from , , and others while giving concrete first tasks to tackle. (analyticsmania.com)

Caution: SEO and audience growth compound slowly — implement a handful of the above, measure for a few weeks, then iterate.

Have more than 8 albums.

Member Avatar for Agreaves

I know I definately have to do that, it's going to take a while to get more albums, because we are producing the albums ourselves. Is there any other ideas you can give that would make website a better environment?

Use fresh contents google love it , give the co related key words to your site ... and use forum posting ...

Member Avatar for Agreaves

I'll be putting on fresh content soon, but it's alot of work because I'm producing all the music, working on the website, and even recording all the music, I don't have the help I need. It's just me and a good friend of mine that does all the work, but he's just responsible for the rhythms, so just imagine the amount of work I have to be doing. If you can give me pointers on some additional content I could add, i like the forum idea but it's hard to get one setup.

The most simple and practical that buy ads from high traffic website

I recommend, you should put videos in your site. Videos gets you a good trust from the search engines. They love it!! Of course, you should keep updating the content on your site and use relevant keywords. Social communities like orkut, delicious, etc should help you for sure in driving traffic. Good luck!!

Not at all...go check out http://www.phpbb.com/.

I have their forum on my site. From the time I downloaded it to the time I finished configuring everything to my liking, it took maybe an hour. As a bonus, it's free, and they have a lot of very good looking templates.

Nice looking site, btw.
Just being nitpicky... your logo text blends in to the background a little too much...makes it hard to read

Member Avatar for Hafsoh

Try to have a background on optimizing the pages, on and off page:

off page - directory submissions, article submissions,forum posting and buying back links from the old sites are helpful for you, also try to update unique content on your site.

on page - meta tags and programming

Create a Facebook fan group and invite your friends...then they can invite theirs... Maybe sounds stupid but it quadruples traffic of my site when the group hit 500 members...
