It took a little less than a month but I am now finally getting at least 600 Search engine hits consistently and last night I hit 667 and I'm climbing every day. Most are from Google (651). I'm listed #1 for my 1st keyword, #2 for my 2nd and #1 for the next couple. Getting hits from 180+ keywords. I didn't do any back linking as I just don't have time. My website provides free content for my niche so my backlinks happen naturally by people referring my website on other websites. Shooting for 1,000 now . Site has been live since the end of last month, have been running cj, adsense, and a referral program related to my niche and have made $600+
Congrats! The hard work is starting to pay off. What's your % of Google/Yahoo/Bing/Direct traffic at so far?
Not listed on Bing yet, waiting over a month. They say my site is qualified, etc. Just waiting to be crawled now. Yahoo is minimal, they just listed me a few days ago. Almost all from google.
Wish i was there myself but i am a long way off. My site has not been crawled by google yet but i have only been up and running for about 2 weeks.
good work! - the importance of a niche in demand, dont ever make a backlink and give us an update as to how a natural footprint happens... i hate to say it but i would be interested in your TBPR, and if you're geo targeted at all? DCx
Yea - just let them build naturally and see how far it goes, let us know the url in PM and we can watch backlinks... if he never makes a paid backlink, you know, where you try to optimise by buying your way to the top... it would be good to see an organic footprint, instead of a manipulated one. its all about the the organic, the green eye... gets me yo lolzzzzz DCx
Did you signup for the webmaster tools and submit your sitemap? That speeds up the initial crawls. Patience is a virtue!
I did do that but still nothing. Tons of sites with my link in them when I search for myself but I'm still not listed. Uhm No I didn't pay anything. I've only invested $12 so far on hosting. I'm not Geo targeted. I get hits world wide and have users world wide. PR Is 0 because I haven't been live for an update. But with a consistent 1,000+ uniques a day and a good number of backlinks I hope to go up a few ranks. Main reason I haven't taken an interest in backlinking is because I work 5 days and school 2 days a week. Simply don't have time for it. The time I do spend on my site is invested in content. http://tourthemes.com
great stuff mate you will get nearly 1000 anyways once yahoo, bing, aol,, starts picking up your site as well
Good going ,next think of 3k uniques from Google,coz its easy to get traffic from Google only you need to have quality content . I get 3k uniques from google images only for my blog. so start adding pic to each and every post
650 hits per day that's really good and you don't have any backlinks..... I thinks you should try to make some backlinks this will help in increasing your traffic above 1000...
