Some advise

Hey everyone a week ago today i signed up to this site to start IM. I made a noob thread to get me started on ideas i choose one and stuck with it so now a week later and as of yesterday i officially have my first website. I decided to make it a forum site as i choose two niches into one site. Now so far i have 10 users which is decently surprising since i haven't put my site out there at all. They are all just coming in from google,yahoo etc. I have applied for an adsense account and amazon affiliates account i haven't put any ads of yet since i want to grow a larger audience first so i want to know what is the best way to start raking in some serious traffic. I have a very neat and professional website design with good content. Do you think it'd be better for me to pay someone to get me to the front page of search engines or try out seo myself. Please give me any ideas on how to blow my website up i seriously think i'm onto a very popular niche and i believe it has ambition to go big. Thank you for any advice.

Normally I do SEO myself I never pay someone, mainly because I run so many websites and it's good to have knowledge on stuff like this. You already believe it has potential so keep it up and good luck! Hope you acomplish your goal!

what exactly do you do? do you use gsa ser?

is 300 views in one day good? i am in no way promoting my sites but im getting alot of users this is why i am in need of really putting traffic towards the site maybe ill buy gsa ser along with private proxies i dont want to spend much alot decisions decisions lol

i completely forgot about the free ads godaddy gave $100 in adwords $50 in bing and yahoo i think i guess that'll give me good traffic
