Really Really Bad OP friend, having looked at your "website" which is only a blog I would recommend either

A) Actually making a website so people can communicate with each other E.G. a forum

or

B) run these events through an existing website e.g. this one

Blog is just to work out interest, forum comes later.

Thanks for input though

How about putting some more work into the OP? Tell us what you are offering, what you do, what your intentions are? Anything. At this stage you put so little effort into the OP I'm not even gonna bother clicking the link.

I first created this site because I was looking to enter some SC2 tournaments. My searches for such a thing didn't turn up all that much, so I decided it might be best to create my own. My site/s are still in the early early stages, although at this point I'm mainly trying to determine if there is interest out there for this kind of thing.

I love StarCraft and have been playing it since it's early days. It's got to be my all time favorite RTS. I can never decided which race I like playing as the most :P, anyway...

Eventually I hope that my site grows to such a point where I can start rewarding winners with various prizes, but like I said earlier that may be a long way off.

If you like the sound of this, please take a look here http://ogtaus.blogspot.com.au/ and spread the word. It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

If you're looking for a website for tournaments in SEA / Australia youve come to the right place, you really dont need to create another

Clan leagues, BSGs, PDs, Weeklys, Monthlys everything is here!

If you're set on making your own site, id say establish a reputation here first.

Ultimately I dont see anyone hanging out on a blog on the off chance there might be a reward in the future, theres already an awesome social experience here, with competition catered towards people of all levels

Theres also room for people to join though! ^_^

Cash, the wT weekly has a Prize pool of I think $40-$50, the monthly Masters Cup is around $200

the GPD open is weekly winner get $10 + 1 hour coaching from a TGM writer

BSG Open is weekly winners qualify for Monthly BSG Cup

BSG Cup is monthly 1st-SC2 Messenger Bag, Coaching session with Team Carnage. 2nd
SC2 Messenger Bag

Various clans run comps frequently such as TN, FS, KFC,

CWs are usually just friendly

Clan leagues are usually run annually, there was 3 this year each had a prize pool of around $200-$300

Theres more but thats from the top of my head

TeamLiquid? and here, which caters to the SEA region.

IMO, I don't think your site would serve any additional benefit (for this region if that's your purpose).

If you're thinking of running tournaments, it would be better to run it through this site (if you are looking at SEA) and/or TL if you're thinking bigger, although I'd think you'd need a little more credibility.

P.s. I don't think you're supposed to be plugging your own website in these forums.

My initial thoughts when I read your blog.

1st Post: You talk about setting up online tournaments, no mention of what game. It also sounds like you have limited to zero experience in this kind of think before.

2nd Post: You say you've chosen SC2 as your title, but don't have any details and we should wait for more.

3rd Post: Complaint about low site traffic.

You then come here and post a one-liner, linking to the blog. Both the thread and the blog still tell us nothing. After a few puzzles replies, you then go on to say:

I really want to make a site of my own, maybe tournaments just aren't the thing to be doing :/

I commend you for wanting to put the effort into something, and if you go ahead that's fantastic news. However I would urge you to really rethink your strategy as you seem to be both un-informed on the game & how to run tournaments and in a hurry to push something out.

I hope this doesn't come across too negative, just my thoughts!
