    I'm the owner of a 12 year old automotive forum/blog/news site and I'm looking for ways to increase traffic... which brings me here.

    If you have automotive questions, I'm your guy.

    Welcome.
    I notice that the recent posts are all about USA cars etc, Why limit your site to USA people, Or to a limited USA market.

    The internet does not usually recognize boundaries, so there is a massive market for international members.

    If you want to cater for the USA members mainly, why not also have an international section?
    You could discuss some of the variations in models and post about some that are unique to specific areas or countries.

    The world on the web is open for you to use. All the best with growing your site.

    Well we do have international sections and do post in them, just not as often. We typically will have 2 full reviews posted each week and two to four news stories posted each day except on weekends.

    Welcome to the Forums!

    Did you own your Forum from the start or did you buy it in between?

    12 years is a great time frame ;-)

    I bought at 9 years old but had been a member of management for years before that and just a plain old member pretty close to inception.

    Welcome,

    Very nice, 12 year old forums are getting rare these days. I would be interested to see the website if you want to pm me a link.
