problem with getting my tgp past 43k

[Nima]

hi there everybody I have some questions and wanted to get everyones opinion and help on this. Right now I have a tgp at 43k/day http://www.teenagepic.com and it has stayed at that for 1-2 weeks now. If you can go to the site please you will see how the first 2 tables of categories go to galleries 50% of the time and the next 2 tables of categories go to trades only. I wanted to know if I add 2 more tables of categories with 50% to galleries if the traffic will go higher or lower since I added more content? also where should the tables be placed? after the 2 tables of categories that go to TRADES ONLY or before that table?

Or what can you recommend should be done on this site to make it grow bigger? the reason I am asking this is because I am afraid if I add more categories with 50% to galleries that I will not be able to send enough to my trades since those 2 tables with 2 categories that go to TRADES ONLY would get less clicks and therefore deacrease my traffic. What do you think I should do if what I am saying is not such a good idea??

what else would you recommend where you pretty much SURE that it will take my 43k uniques to a higher amount of traffic?

I appreciate all the tips possible :cool: :D :)

Skimming set at 50 is exrtremely High, you most likely dont have many bookmarkers because half of the people are only getting where they want...... set it so 8 out of 10 people can get to what they want, not 1/2


Also you can tell your trades you will be increasing traffic and go ahead and buy traffic, traffic normally sells for 1000 visitors for 5 dollars, this will definetly increase your daily traffic

Hey NIMA!!!

LONG TIME NO SEE!!

Hit me on icq 61294953

hmm a lot of people or most do it without buying traffic =) and right now I have 5k/day bookmarks

[Pipecrew]

Trust me I know, Just trying to tell you how I do it, I took my last site sitting at 50k to 90k inless then 3 days....... its all about big trades and buying traffic or friends that can hook you up with favors

[Nima]

ok but after they stopped sending traffic what was your traffic then ? not the next day but in the upcoming week etc. .

Yea I agree, 50% is pretty high, no one will bookmark at that.
with 43k coming in you should have a decent amount of new bookmarkers everyday at 70-80% going to galleries

70% galleries and get some trades goign on who can send about 5-15k then you are on your way...

[Nima]

but no one replied to what I initially was saying in my post hehe

65 for trading does the best for me ... 80 + for few bookmarkers and 90 for good bookmarkers .

One thing that isnt helping you are the thumbs that aint there ! Can be my ISP, but now I've said it !

I dont think you need more categories you just need some more clicks to galleries since that will get surfers to click more ! What is you prod ?

hi doctor dre, what you mean by:

"65 for trading does the best for me ... 80 + for few bookmarkers and 90 for good bookmarkers"

You set various % for your surfers?

I think I would improve the layout and as mentioned above you should try to get more bookmarkers by sending less surfers to your trades

good luck!
