How can I get more users to my http://www.LiveWorldCupChat.com website?

We've spent about 6 months on and off building functionality and building up twitter/facebook feeds but it seems cant catch "lightning in a bottle".

Apart from pay-to-play on social media am I missing something about whats needed to build a live fan chat application?

Promoted tweets by location, targeted to people talking about specific games. FB ads, Adwords - targeted to places that people talk about games. Go on Twitter and football forums and tell people why they should use it. Be friendly. Talk to any local or tech media folks you know and see if they can help you promote it.

Getting people to the site won't be your biggest issue. Getting people to sign up and take part once they're there will be. There's no real call to action on the site. It's not particularly visually appealing. Could you recruit some friends/family to generate some activity and some buzz? Right now, there only appears to be one person posting. It needs to look busier than that for people to decide to go there rather than Twitter, IRC or wherever else they are chatting about whatever game is ongoing at that time.

agree with you about traffic, once you get a few people in the chats it works great, especially on the http://www.LiveBaseballChat.com pages. People tend to stay the entire game etc.....but getting them there seems to be the issue.

maybe remove the requirement to be registered before seeing the chats? I just clicked in to see the France/Honduras chat, but I can't see any activity. I'm much more likely to sign up and participate if I think I'm signing up for something that's more active.

How about advertising on adwords or fb?
