Has anyone got a magic wand that will send me 1000 visits, free and not taking up time every day that I would prefer to spend in other ways.

quote

I'd love to hear from those of you who have done this and/or will do this to see if it helps with ranking and ultimately exposure and site hits! Good luck to all.

quote

That won't give you 1000 hits a day. I tried that one a couple years ago. You can buy 1000 hits a day, but that traffic is garbage too. Proper SEO will give you good SERP.

I doubt that gives you 1000 vists but thanks I'm going to try it out.

Building a business takes time. You can't expect success over night - you have to work hard for it.

Sounds a bit like you are trying to hock your wares here?! I am merely responding to the thread and some of its posts as some were asking how to increase traffic..I'm sure we all could get better exposure if we wanted to pay for it...but there are FREE things we all can do to get more visibility whether or not you deem the "garbage" or not..any exposure (especially at no cost) is good exposure and I'd never call it trash..IMHO!

quote

Yes it is more work than one thinks. Getting traffic is only the first part.

quote

Thanks.

quote

Does anyone know about how these things work and how to avoid them?

I have had many sign ups from this and it is a system you sign up for free and it runs on it's own.

You need to re-read my original post...slowly if you need to. I'm not hocking my wares anywhere. It's so far the opposite of that its not funny. I'm trying to be HELPFUL by telling people to STOP buying traffic and paying for things that they can do themselves for FREE.

I'd prefer if everyone here would stop trying to find some easy way to success and do what they should be doing, which is proper SEO work, that they can do for free, to get their sites in search engines for free, targeted traffic.

Anyone who has ever read my regular posts here on LR knows that I offer helpful, realistic and free advice and I'm one of the few people who doesn't keep dropping some useless affiliate link. I'm offended that you'd even suggest it.

I said the site you mentioned was garbage because it IS garbage. You don't need a submission service to get traffic. You need proper SEO on a good site that people will search for and find naturally in the search engines. People waste far too much time on crap that doesn't work when they could be successful doing good, honest work on their own sites every day. 'Nuff said.

quote

I did read and re-read your post...and no, I di not have to read it slowly...Maybe you should read this one and your second post directed towards me and realize that you come off as very arrogant and down right rude. The 1st post you more than implied that my suggestion was 'garbage' and improper as far as an SEO is concerned..Your 2nd post impied that I might be 'slow' or unintelligent' in some way for apparently not understanding your original comment...Maybe you are a regular contributer here and possibly do offer free, good advice to those seeking it...but that has not been my experience with you thus far. It shouldn't be that your words are so profound that all should heed only your advice and not others' suggestions. Because that is merely what they are..suggestions of other members based on a question posed by the OP...my suggestions should not be admonished in such a public way because you deem them garbage...after all 'one man's trash is another man's treasure'..we all have a right to our thoughts and opinion especially in a forum. Isn't that the point alltogether?

quote

Well, logic isn't one of your strong points, but let's break it down for you. I also encourage everyone here to follow the thread, especially those who have read my many posts and know I speak the truth, ALWAYS.

The original poster asked if anyone gets 1000 visitors. That was the question. Your answer was to check out that submission service. My response was not to ridicule you, and I didn't if you read my post. I just said it won't get you 1000 hits a day, simply because it won't. That was a true statement. Any submission service will merely index you with certain search engines and has nothing to do with any guarentee of traffic.

Follow me so far? I NEVER said that url was garbage. I said that bought traffic is garbage, which it is. Now, YOUR response was to accuse me of trying to sell something or "hock your wares" as you put it, which offended me personally because I have a reputation here for being one of the few people who will give a realistic answer without any BS or hype, like many others try to do.

I actually DON'T want people to waste their time and hard earned money on crap that doesn't work when they can achieve success for free if they work hard enough at it. If there are things you have tried that work well for you then I encourage you to post your results and suggestions for others, but don't call me arrogant for wanting to help the friendly people on LR that I have come to view as friends and fellow business owners over the last few months. I deserve more respect than that. Ask anyone here.

Hi, while I do not want to get involved in your arguement, I think there was a misunderstanding somewhere between you both. I have read both your submissions and it appears to me that you are both just trying to provide suggestions to people.. we each have our own methods and sharing them is the only way to learn. I agree that there are a lot of people on these forums only trying to plug their own sites etc.. I have left some forums becoz of this, but both of you have sth to share.

On to responding queries re increasing visits:

There are a lot of people who want quick and easy solutions but if that were the case many of us SEO experts and online marketers would not have jobs, as increasing visits, page rankings etc is a full time job and takes a lot of time and learning to improve. You need to read as much as possible, listen to advice and implement different SEO techniques. Sure you can get over 1000 visits per day through some methods but what's the point in getting a huge number of visits if they are not relevant or qualified leads?

Anyhow, I know that isnt answering your questions but I participate in a number of forums and continue to pick up tricks from people's advice.

Dont waste time focusing on trying to get thousands of visits from people who click on and directly off. Focus on those who stay and are interested & look to increase those types oof visits.

Hope this is helpful!

That's a good point too. If your bounce rate is high then even 1000 hits a day won't do you much good. Focus on converting the traffic you DO get, even if it's only 100 hits a day. Make your site as sticky as possible and hopefully get people to bookmark your site for potential sales down the road.

I am not sure why you feel it pertinent to begin your posts to me with an insult? If you did have something relative to say and genuinely 'care' about others in the way you claim to then why on earth would you then want your words to fall upon deaf ears? You lost me after the first sentence. Maybe what you mean to say is that you are interested in helping just those who you think are listening?

You don't know me and what I've have learned to know of you in just a few typed words tells me that we are two different types of people. But, that being said, it isn't beneficial to dismiss others' ideas because you don't deem them relevant nor as important as your suggestions.

Measuring one's importance merely by the amount of times you post or hours you spend in one venue is arrogant in my opinion. As if you have more important suggestions and experineces than others who have merely posted a suggestion to someone else's query?

I really don't thing the overall point to this thread was for others to dismantle and dismiss anothers opinions. Why you took it upon yourself to seek out my post and feel it necessary to diminish its worth tells me only that you feel and think that your ideas are more important or the only that people should heed.

It's not as if you were offering some solid advice based upon my post and then sharing your experience as to why you felt the link I provided wasn't worthwhile..that would have been much more productive don't you think? I am done with this back and forth banter and I will just agree to disagree. It is too bad that your 'good intentions' had to be clouded with slinging insults as to the intelligence of someone other than yourself.

quote

That alone won't get you the traffic you want, but it can help. Building traffic is a bit like pouring sand into a bucket. each link dropped is a grain. It takes a lot of them to make a pile, but it does eventually make one. Some methods just deposit more grains at once than others. Sig files do it one grain at a time, but once set up, they do it automatically.

quote

Yes, more stuff to learn and explore.

It's simply a matter of experience. I've been working from home as my own boss doing this for 8 years now and there are only a handful of people on LR who truly ARE successful.

That's not arrogance in me speaking, it's frustration. I come here every single day and read posts from people looking for an easy way to make money. They ask about getting a "blast" of this or that, which won't help them at all. They ask about all kinds of things they waste their time and money on and then wonder why they aren't succeeding. That frustrates me.

And I DID offer advice based on experience as to why your url wasn't worthwhile. It's because submitting to ANY search engine when you don't already have the proper SEO in place will just get you buried in the SERP's and won't help at all. Again, I wasn't attacking you personally. I was just pointing out the major flaw with that url and really with ANY submission service.

I will say this though. Our debate is beneficial in helping some people see that actual research and looking in to any kind of service more deeply is important for success in really any business. I've received more positive feedback for this thread than anything since I've been here, so I do thank you for taking part in that. I like any good, healthy debate that sheds light on something that will help others do well online.

One additional point for others reading. Remember that you want QUALITY over quantity. Better to have 100 good hits from buyers, than 1000 useless hits from people just clicking your link as part of their daily routine.

maybe someone can explain this?

To answer Patrick's Adwords question, it could be just that your landing page sucks. Try a different one and see if that helps increase sales. I know Adwords can be a real pain, but that's a good low cost rate you have there. Good luck!

quote

Obviously, search engine is still the best way to get traffic.

quote

I will try this one, thanks. I tried the Frogster one which Mark suggested but you have to have a PayPal email address.

I've had a number of blogs going for a LONG time now and work on them frequently but just don't get any traffic at all, it seems.
