How do you make traffic grow

[drumsicle]

I keep getting between 1k and 2k to my site everyday. Except of course when I buy some traffic. But as soon as that runs out, my traffic goes back down to the same.

I make galleries that link to my site instead of a sponsor, but then I get killed on bandwidth and it really doesn't bring that many hits.

Other than saving up to buy another site for the traffic, what can I do?

All of these sites that get 20, 40, even 100k, how did they do it.

Somebody please help a brother out and tell me the secret. :D

Force approx 80% of all unique you get in daily to your biggest most productive trade and let it trickle down to the others as it sends you fresh. After for get that one to 500-1k then split it between the next biggest and continue till you get each to 500+ then as you get more traffic you need more trades to keep sending more unique.

Thats basically it in a nutshell hope it helps and if you want to trade hit me up. :)

i´d get rid off the exitpopup... that way you get more guys bookmarking your site. i´d never bookmark sites that have popups of any kind expect my own :)

great advice, I just started "Phase 1" of this plan my traffic is growing.

Awesome! :)

How long has the site been going? The longer it runs the more bookmarks you'll get to keep clicking. Keep the site good (popup-free and good content) to get some bookmarkers everyday. In a couple of months you'll be seeing a marked difference - easily 20K.

Forget the ads for now -they arent making you any money with 1K anyway, at least I think not. Remove the exit console too. Make the bookmark links bigger. Let your site get to at least 20K then put ads.

Thanks Toker. I'm not sure I understand though, I may have to hit you on ICQ later.

I hear what your saying and agree. However, the exit goes to an unchained toplist which brings good productive traffic. If I use it as an exit, I stay consistently near the top of the second page. If I use it as a trade, I can't send enough to make it to even page three. I'm kind of between a rock and a hardplace on this.

Yes you are right! No money from the ads except the dialer. I kind of just use the ads to add some color to it, instead just a page full of text links. Should I redo it and just have all links to galleries? I would need to put some pics or something, don't you think?

[toker]

Its simple like i said and yes the exit to that toplist is useless because it will bring less clicks on trades when surfer leaves your site. Basically your working against the logic of trading when they leave your site you want them to CLICK there ass off on your trades site so you get more uniques back.

Heres the trick listen up newbees i only say this once and it works awsome once you buy some traffic too. :)

Ok find biggest trade you have that has the highest prod on your site because you want these guys to come and click your links over and over so you need good prod. Now you send all your uniques almost not all about 80% to that big trade since you know what your gonna get back. Then as you send him uniques you get back more uniques which go to pay off other smaller trades. Now you will be like in a horse race someone will hold prospect for #2 rank start forcing that guy like 20 hits per hour plus like a 1.8 perm ratio.

Now you have 2 growing nice for about 2-3 days and they are holding stable so we need to bring up #3 and force them 20 per hour and ratio at 1.8 also. You keep all other trades at like 1.5 or low prod sites keep like 1.2 cause you dont want to get alot of shit traffic back.

So as you build and build you should end up with about 5 really big trades that can handle big hits and return good as well. Once you have 5 doing really well you should be in good hands but try to get more if you can.

I suggest you dont add to many new trades daily eather or you wont hold stable traffic just 2-3 per day if you can least add 1 new trade every 2 days cause some are bound to die unintentionally. If you add to many new trades daily you will decrease some hits and you WILL NOT grow as fast build up what you have first about 30 trades is good to get plenty uniques flowing.

This is just what i have found to work i dont grow thousands daily but i grow at a steady rate of a few hundred myself which aint bad since i never bought 1 hit in my life.

So if you find this to be usefull like BJ9 your next step is a kick ass lookin page with great prod. I can help in that area too for a very low price but i will try to hold back the spam... ;)

Ahhh!! I see what you are saying! I'm gonna try it. I've been doing the opposite sort of, and that may be the problem. Thanks for the help Toker! :)
