I’ve had a website since October 2009 and it is now February 2010. I have only received almost 3000 views. It is like an entertainment website about celebs and movies and stuff like that. Any ideas and tips?

Ensure that your site is properly search engine optimized (see the referenced Search Engine Optimization [SEO] Wikipedia article) so your site shows up high in search engine searches.

Some quick tips on SEO:

1) Try submitting your URLs to bookmark aggregators like StumbleUpon, Delicious, and Digg to boost cross-linking. I have a media site that gets over 50% of its traffic from bookmark aggregators.
2) Ensure that your title html tags on each page contain relevant keywords.
3) Make sure that every page on your site has only one associated URL (called canonical URLs) – this can be a SEO killer.

To drive traffic, I’d exhaust all SEO options first since SEO is "free." If SEO doesn’t work, you can always pay for traffic (see the Search Engine Marketing [SEM] article) with Google Adwords.

   If people want to see what’s on your site you’ll get a lot of views, if they don’t you won’t. Make the site something that people want to go to.
