Need help with visitors and community contributors

Ask for guest writers on internet forums, Twitter and other Socail Media

I'm afraid it's called online marketing. The only traffic you should be interested in is targeted traffic. So make sure your site is well optimised and has great content. This will start generating organic traffic for you.

Then as Bill says, guest writers is a good option, and start marketing your site. You have wealth of options, from Facebook to related forums, do some guest blogging yourself, etc.

This may help if you haven't seen it yet:

Thanks for your help guys. This is the first website i've built. Guess its all just about learning the ropes.

Thanks again.

Well write good unique stuff and visitors will come - or so Google would have you believe

You can promote your website in social networking sites. It is a best way to get visitors on website also you can increase your users and traffic on your website.

Social networking sites are mostly used for advertising products and services. I think it is not to get traffic for site.

So you don't think the likes of facebook produces any traffic?

Trust me it does. It may not be in the league of Google Traffic, but with the advent of the Google Plus 1 network, the definition of social and search engine traffic are starting to get blurred

I'd strongly recommend you take a look at building a business blog, as they can be used for a variety of reasons to develop your customer base, from publishing press releases to becoming a portal for thought leadership pieces.
