ive been part of a portal site for the last few years and we were looking at ways to get more traffic and people involved in it. We have just graduated college, so money is very low.
How do you get people using a site?
We have been plugging it around and while we get healthy spikes we would like more interaction.
Has anybody experience of this?

high quality self generated work would be great, but not very practical really since the people involved have careers too.

supposing you´re talking about http://andy.ie, you could optimize the layout.
I found the arrangement confusing, maybe add more thumbnails. also check the writing/naming (there are currently 4 links labelled "illustration websites" on the startpage. stuff like that and all the rest of the usual measures to enhance user experience. that´s just the basic stuff, without your own original content you´re competing against so many design link aggregators out there, like max_prophet said.
maybe if you can find a niche topic and concentrate on that, it would be easier to pull users?

also start spamming the PV, like the others do! probably won´t get you users that stay long, but should be worth for a hundred hits daily. :)

I had custom cheeseburger wrappers made up with my logo and just gave them out in the streets at lunch. Makes perfect sense for a photoblog.

ya shamelessly promoting your site is always a go but it takes time and persistance.
