Your mission is to tell me how to increase traffic.

I want to know if there is a way to increase traffic by a few hundred visits a day or more, of industry related browsers.

It has to be free.
It has to be able to be done simply and quickly.
It has to produce results NOW!

Any ideas?

(how to) ... increase traffic by a few hundred visits a day or more, of industry related browsers.

Simple. Take some open source browser like Firefox, create a few skins with "industrial" designs (lots of cogs and things like that) and offer them for free download on your site. Hey presto, the next time people who download them visit your site, that will mean traffic from industry-related browsers. (cue canned laughter).

On a more constructive note, I hear scientists are developing genetically modified trees whose leaves have the form and shape of genuine dollar notes. I've put my name down on the preorder list so I can cut out this whole troublesome business of actually earning money.

True, but they only grow if you plant a few 100 dollar bills with no even numbers at midnight during full moon.

You are all very funny aren't you.
Well I suppose you all think you are.
I dont think you are funny at all.

I increased my traffic from 50 visitors a day to over 650 visitors a day in less than a week. My adsense is getting between $30 to $40 a day. I know that doing what I am doing now will easily put me to over 1,000 visitors a day before the end of this month.

It's not spam, not email, not articles, not a free content site, not bloggs, all legit. It is free, it is simple. Just has to be done regularly. Takes about 1 hour a week, now that I have the steps in place and have specifically targeted the best ones.

But I suppose you all have too much traffic to worry about sharing how to increase it, I would have gladly shared what I know if there was something worthwhile being shared back to me.

My adsense adds are displayed about 2,000 times a day, I get between 100 to 200 hundred clicks a day on those adds, and the page eCPM is usually around the $20 mark.

I suppose no one wants to know or share something of equal value. If you do I can provide screen dumps of awstats to prove what I have said. That's if you can share something too.

Well then share already!

I have nothing magic to contribute, I did it the hard way with probably ten thousand natural backlinks and all organic SERPs evolving over 7 years that drive about half a million visitors to my site each month.

Share it or don't share it, who cares? Do you have any idea how many gems people have posted around WebmasterWorld in the past? Read some back threads if you want ideas.

There is a forum for Commercial Exchange - this forum is not a suitable place for such attempted deals.

(Besides, it isn't as if going to forums and making posts which promote your site is a big secret.)

Come on Flax,

First you are ordering us to give us our trade secrets: "Your mission is to tell me how to increase traffic." And you told us yourself you were in need of a method to "increase traffic by a few hundred visits a day or more".

And now you are telling us that you already have knowledge of a way to increase your traffic as desired in you first post, and because of our funny posts (some actually were rather funny) you will not share this with us.

Anybody out there believin' this?

A guy called Stuart joined the forum
And didn't feel we showed the right decorum
So he told the list
What it was he missed
And we all gave him a warm welcome

And to get back on topic, my 'get rich quick and easy' scheme is this:

- join a forum, such as WW Adsense
- pretend you already have a get rich quick and easy scheme
- tell others you'll share it if they tell their ideas first
- listen to their ideas and nick the best ones

In reality, this won't make you rich. But it will start an amusing thread and make it difficult for people to take you seriously in future.

Perhaps I could take this opportunity to express thanks to the many forum members who share their expertise and experience without requiring anything from others first.

And did I say "warm welcome", Stuart?

ok first I have to admit that a lot of the comments on this topic were funny, especialy the letter.

on another note I have only been using adsence for about 7 weeks.

I get around 3,500 uniques a day and I earn an average of $65 a day.

My site has been here for 5 years and is popular for one main reason I suppose, everything is free.

phone wallpaper, ringtones etc and it has been free for the last 5 years.

I have worked real hard on it and didnt even think I would earn what I do with the adsence on it (wish I had done it years ago)

so my BIG secret is give it away for free

simple as that

Welcome to webmasterworld, Stuart.

I am feeling generous so I will share my big secret for increasing traffic(slowly, but it's free):

Word-of-mouse advertising.

Like the last poster mentioned, first make a site where everything is free. Then, wait for people to start telling their friends about your site. It works!

Welcome Stuart.

With all the talk of offering something for free, you guys are almost starting to convince me of it!

Tsk, tsk.
Have you all forgotten the golden rule we have been talking about for the last month or so? LOL

Remember the part about creating pages to show people where to spend their money?
That's right Flaxmac- people are looking to spend their money and you want to find a way to show them where and how.
Please sticky me with your success story, and I'll tell you more..... : )

I have not forgotten! But, consider this... offer free instructions on how to complete a project, make sure the supplies needed for that project are expensive... then Google shows ads for the supplies.

Spacylacie,

I haven't forgotten that rule either....many things can be cheap and free but I don't think the items to give my readers (of the new site)
What they are needing
could be in that category. Most are very high priced, just not expenseve...:)
