Traffic

How in the world do you get it!

[wegotit]

I've tried article writing, ppc, banner exchanges, traffic exchanges, link exchanges, ad infinitum. Still no traffic. Only traffic I can get (except for occasional) is traffic I pay for and they only stay for less than 5 seconds i.e. they are just hits.

There has got to be someway of getting traffic to a white hat site.
Mybe you guys could visit :)hehe.

Whenever I go visit a site I always stay a little while and look around, Never know I might find something interesting, even an ad.

Anyway I appreciate any help you guys could offer. I've been around for a few months and am about to go back to online auctions. yechh.

Dropping a URL on WW, against the ToS, is not a good start.

I specifically monitor average pages per visit (it hovers around 3), and tune my site and content to find things that get people to stay longer.

Of course, I believe that I have good, unique content in the first place, and I add more regularly.

You can't get people to beat a path to your door and hang around if they are not interested in what you have or how you present it.

WebmasterWorld doesn't do sigs, so expect your link to be removed according to the terms of service [webmasterworld.com].

Welcome to Webmaster World, wegotit. Article sites are notoriously difficult to get to show in the SERPs as most of the pages will be classified as duplicate content. Until your pages are seen as the authority for that content they will most likely be filtered out of the search results.

About the only thing to say about a case like this is a line from one of the articles on your site, "You need to upgrade your website by including fresh and updated information." Your best bet is to only include articles you write or commission to make sure they are unique, fresh and interesting.

Thanks for the info, I try to keep the content changed. I write articles myself and put them on the homepage thinking that this will change content enough for the search engines. I've got a lot more learning to do. Thanks for the help :)

If the site has only "been around for a few months," it hasn't had much of a chance - don't give up yet.
