After your site is up and running, getting traffic to your site is an ongoing adventure. I'm sure there are as many ways to get traffic to your site as there are vldPersonal owners, but one area that you always hear about is "Content is King."
 
There are several ways content is generated on my sites:
 
1. New member joins and adds his profile data. There may be two problems here: (1) if you closed off profiles to search engine spiders and (2) the content the member provides may not be targeted for your niche.
 
2. Blogs - I love this one. If you can get members to do a lot of blogs on your site, you will be adding content. Ramil's (vldCrowd) Blog Mod with RSS for comments has made a huge difference in getting content indexed by search engines as well as being picked up by social sites (i.e. facebook, myspace, digg, etc).
 
3. Custom Pages is another way to add more content to your site. Webmasters can easily create custom pages from the CP. Starting with version 2.5.5, vldP made custom pages a little more SEO friendly, but it does not come close to what Ramil's (vldCrowd) Custom Page SEO Mod can do. Since getting Ramil's custom page mod, my custom pages are on the fast track of being indexed by search engines. Ramil's mod adds all the flexibility you need for the Custom Page head tags and plus it has RSS. Also, I can easily put the title of custom pages with a link to the Custom Page on any template. Quite frankly, the next version of vldP needs to adapt Ramil's mod if it wants to take Custom Pages to the next level.
 
There are many more ways (i.e. adding News) to add content, but the above are some of the main ways of adding content to your site.
 
Let me elaborate a bit more on the "Content is King" concept.
 
Many webmasters believe Content is King because they believe that another webmaster will link to the content on their site. If you know about google rankings, inbound links to your site is google's way of rating your popularity (page rank). However, getting other webmasters to link to your Content is easier said then done.
 
My Content strategy is: the more Content indexed by google the more territory I own in google's database for my site's niche. The more pages google spider indexes, the better my chances of being found in a search engine. For example, if I add a new Custom Page a day, in theory I would have an additional 365 Custom Pages in a year indexed by google for my site. The beauty of Custom Pages is the webmaster can be very targeted in the Content he uses. In other words, he can use words (called keywords) that reflect the type of niche he owns so when google indexes the page it increases the chances to be found by those who use google search engine. For example, just about every custom page I create, I try to include the word "asian dating" in my Content hoping that when a person uses google to look for an Asian dating site, he uses asian dating as their search criteria and one of my custom pages will appear in their search results. The more custom pages I create, the more territory I own in google's index and the better the chances are that I'm found with certain keywords in google search which in turn means more traffic and more revenue.
 
I'm also quite keen on RSS. I won't go into an explanation of RSS, but with the SEO Custom pages and the built in RSS feature, I'm well represented on social sites (i.e. facebook, myspace, digg, etc) and google search engine. If you think you need your site tweaked with SEO mods, you may want to ask Ramil's recommendation of what SEO custom job he recommends for your site. One way to get more traffic and increase your revenue, is to invest in mods that makes your site beat your competition in the SEO world.
