Have you guys started making the push for visitors with the site now?

If so - where and how are you promoting?

Well my MSN name has the site URL in it
I have links in forum signatures
and, I tell the big Nintendo fanboys who come into where I work (GameStation) about the site.

We really need more active forum members and a web based irc client.

Agreed... generally - I think we need to get more people coming in for the content - if enough people come to read, then enough will register and post.

The site definitely can have a strong community - what with the extra features Ant has thrown in - wishlists, now playing lists and blogs aren't exactly original - but its the kinda thing that make people signup.

Ant - are you getting the news syndicated everywhere?

I reckon once we secure some competitions that will get good member traffic in. But I suppose you have to have traffic in order to get stuff for competitions :S

Yup - has Ant been getting in touch with the companies yet?

Yeah it would be nice to go to some Nintendo UK PR events and get some freebies, like the Metroid Prime launch event

Well yeah - when I was doing GMF (and I'm sure Ant for GC-UK) it was surprising how easy it was to get competition material.

And this site is about 10 times better than GMF.

Yeah, its really down to the lack of time we get to spend working on the site... the news is getting syndicated on sites like NewsNow, Google News won't have us yet (they're abit fussy on applications). We also get the odd article picked up by Digg and News4gamers that brings in alot of traffic.

We could do with some proper promotion of the site though, especially as the Wii is just about to explode into peoples lifes in the next few weeks. However, the traffic numbers have been growing pretty steady over the past few months, but of course we want better

Sammy wanna become our PR guy and get things moving?
