		<description>Hi Iain,

First I'll take the two main points from the other comment you left:

1. Submitting yourself to search engines, is worthless and can even do more harm then good sometimes, let them find you on their own; and they will.

2. The only *quick* traffic method I currently know of is PPC. This however is not sustainable, unless you plan to repeat the process, and that can run into some pretty serious money.

Unless your conversion rates are really acceptable, then I suggest you try other methods.

also, since you're in a specific niche, make sure your keywords are top notch.
---------------------------

OTHER METHODS
-------------

Directories are good, just make sure they're targeted.

Gaming Forums - add a good signature and get involved. Don't spam.

Gaming Ezines - Advertise

Start a blog, it can only help.

Link swaps with other gaming sites.

Link &#038; Post swaps with other gaming blogs.

Start a newsletter and swap with ezines.

The list goes on, but that's a real good start. A week is waaaay to short a time to be wondering. It could very well take several months, to a year or more to see significant changes.

Track your stats as best as possible and tweak your methods accordingly.

Let me know if I can assist further. I know very little about "online gaming" as a whole, but most traffic methods are pretty universal; you just need to tweak a little here and there to fit your niche :)

		<description>i run a game website and find that the best way i get traffic is through voting game websites,i also run adwords ppc but still find that the voting sites bring in more traffic.i am new to this and my alexa ranking will probably say that as it is about 4.3 million it was higher untill i started to use  these sites whether that helped or something else i dont know.i have added my url to countless directorys and search engines and have been doing everything i can for a little over a week but when can i expect to see a difference so i know i am doing things the right way ?</description>

		<description>Dev - you're quite right, as stated SEO is also very important. Thanks for the comment :)
