    You're welcome!

    I am trying to be as constructive as I can, but since your post is 4 pages long with 2-3 words per line you definitely don't care about me or anyone reading your posts.

    Positive or constructive are two different words. This is a forum in which we can express own opinions. The fact that I or anybody else is posting its opinions doesn't mean to harm you or anybody else's feelings.

    I apologize if you feel otherwise.

    I don't understand that you have not focused on any income. How will you know if you have traffic that converts into sales, or just "stumble " type traffic that doesn't amount to much ?

    I can appreciate you sharing tips, I am sure that it is helpful to many, however, I agree also that writing good content and a good presentation could have yielded you traffic in a matter of months, not a year, and I am also perplexed that you are quoting your traffic as "Hits" which means pretty much any and everything, not necessarily readers. (Uniques, Page Views, RSS Subscribers)

    Also,how much of that traffic is directly from serps, or is it al referrer traffic ? If referrer traffic, from where ? Has it been targeted to capitalize a particular niche, or is it just general traffic ?

    None of this means a whole lot if you are not converting traffic into revenue. 10,000 "hits" a day, yet no money is a lot worse than 100 uniques a day and some revenue.

    hmansfield all good points you make

    I have very little traffic from SERPS
    Very little from referrals

    But I see users reading 15-30 pages per visit rather than hitting the site and disappearing.

    Site has over 200 uniques a day most appear to be word of mouth ie email again I see it in the stats.

    I see google spread sheets listing a user(s) as part of their linking promotion.

    Once I see the site settle down and traffic continuously growing I will look at revenue unless you feel there is a better way.

    I am very open to feedback and would like to then see what changes user at DP can also make for me as there is a lot of wealth here.

    Has it been targeted to capitalize a particular niche.
    At this stage yes and no. I am still watching to see a niche open up. I think we can all learn from users and see what they want rather than building a site into a niche market hoping users will come.

    If I see a trend occurring I will then make this my niche. At this stage its simply 3 click social submission.

    Johnyboy point not offended just look at you straight to the point posts.

    I am trying to be as constructive as I can, but since your post is 4 pages long with 2-3 words per line you definitely don't care about me or anyone reading your posts.
    Actually I do care as this was the point of the post. I to was a newbie needing direction on building traffic. I found 90% of the answers at DP.

    Positive or constructive are two different words. This is a forum in which we can express own opinions. The fact that I or anybody else is posting its opinions doesn't mean to harm you or anybody else's feeling
    Agree point taken...
