Simple, yet effective steps can be taken to ensure that your site see's more visitors:

* Have an easy site name, and a solid site description
http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Site+Name+and+Description

* The Promote my Wiki area is also a great place to go

* Invite friends. Chances are, they'll invite their friends with the same passion as you, and then they'll invite their friends, etc..

* Exchange links with simular sites. If you have a passion, others share it. It’s the essence of Wetpaint Wikis.

* Build better page names and descriptions.

* Link your own content. I mean internally link it. Once a new, interested person on your site see's one great page, chances are they are going to want to see similar pages. That's the beauty of linking

* Use social media tools like Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter to spread the word about your new site
http://www.facebook.com
--and/or--
http://www.myspace.com
--and/or--
http://www.twitter.com

*Get a good, easy to remember URL. If you have something like "csi.wetpaint.com" then it should be easy to remember. But if you have something like "csifansforever122.wetpaint.com" then you may want to try a custom url. Domains are getting cheaper, so start snagging!

Don't forget about tags. They are important in searches. Here is a good example of tags on a page. Not only are they tags but they are links also.


Keyword tags: A - Z Gaming index A-Z cheats index A-Z game reviews index A-Z Game trailers index cheats DS EMGN EMGN Community EMGN Nation Free gaming information free online games Free Xbox Live Game Reviews A - Z index Game trailers Game with the Nation Gameboy Advanced games gaming Gaming community Gaming Community Wiki Gaming FAQ Gaming help Gaming home page Gaming news gaming wiki GBA GTA IV hints home of gaming Live gaming help room Live help Mass Effect review Microsoft MSJ MSJ Gaming News news.

Some of those larger sites have been around for a long time. Members invite other members to join in on the site. Next thing you know, there are thousands of members. Don't give up. If the site has good content, members will join. Do you find this valuable?
