    I bet posting random spam in various forums on the net is one of the ten methods.

    I noticed the first thing on his list is trafficswarm. If you ever need a good example of a loosing proposition, there you go.

    O one more thing.. I do have to admit - a lot of us at least visited some of those crap sites. Would an admin please delete this thread - to prevent others from making the same mistake.

    Better to leave it and see the opinions of all of us -- better to discredit so people learn not to bother with sites like those.

    - being slightly new to many things around here I went for the trafficswarm a couple of days ago... not due to this thread though:p and I just decided to try it out for the research... thinking it wouldn't hurt as I don't sell anything (but for Adsense).

    I'm inclined to concur with others in that it simply doesn't give you anything to join a "bad neighborhood" like that. I'll let it run it's natural course and see what comes of it... maybe let you guys have an update if considered worthwhile - wouldn't bet on it though :(

    I'd certainly be interested to know. I've not ever signed up for a service like that and do not intend to do so. But I would be interested to know what kind of results you recieved.

    heh, I used to run one of those sites 3 years ago. Surfwake.com. Had an alexa rating of 30,000 (ish) when i quit. So those programs do work...for the owner of the program.

    I was able to push links SO easily. Not only that, I would have an affiliate program run through my network and within a day i'd have a couple dozen orders (depending on the affiliate program). There are a lot of Work At Home people hooked on traffic generators like trafficswarm. Too bad most of them haven't taken in up the next level with a blog, forum, or just plain ol' SEO.

    I'm learning more reading this forum than reading any other "professional advisors" free or not.
    First thing I learned long time ago is that traffic doesn't mean anything. I prefer to get 50 "visitors" a day who look for what I sell than 50,000 who click to earn more traffic or to see what and how I do.
    I learned here how to get on the first pages when people search for what I sell, coz it's what matter. Getting there is not a small task and can't be done overnight.
    So, all these people giving away advices to generate traffic can keep their tips for themselves. This one has a counter on his main page that shows 15,000 visitors since June 2004. That's around 75 visitors per day in the last 200 days. You owner of a solid PR7 site how much do you generate a day? and it's clean traffic, not "click here to increase your traffic" type of scam.

    Note: don't blame to much my English unless your French is as good as mine :D
