I have not paid for advertising - Check my results

Hi fellow marketer's,

I have been running my forum for 2 months and 1 week i have not yet paid for any advertising and i have managed to get over 200 uniques this month so far.

I use all free methods to advertise my site and i have managed to make some profit and get good activity on my forum.

I have got a picture of my stats here what i want to know is my traffic as seen below is this good for not paying for advertising or is it average and lets share how many uniques do you get without paying for advertising.

My Stats:


The forum is http://www.widewebtalk.com

My profits made to date is $30 not much but it is a start.

Lets see your traffic without advertising see who is doing better than others.

 

I have greater stats then yours with mutch profits and olso no advertising spend

Just me working

 

Your real helpful w3bmaster, tell us your deepest secrets .

Thats excellent, keep on advertising, and it will keep growing, it takes time, especially going the freeway.

 

Thanks for the advice Mesoc.

I am enjoying the free advertising to an extent but i think it is making sure not to expect too much in profits for some time.

 

Well I'm sure this poll and a link to your forum doesn't hurt your traffic

Nice start to a forum though.. I'll register.

 

I don't pay for advertising...I rely on free advertising.

 

I also don't pay for advertising yet on one of my sites, and I make pretty good money, around $300 a month off 1 site.

 

i assume all this traffic came with this domain, it wasn't "promoted" even with free tools/methods

please correct me if i'm wrong..

if i am wrong, please share your secrets (or at least some of them) if that's ok of course ...

thanks in advance

 

Well would be great if u can share some of ur secrets, so that people like me also going to do some fun on WWW

 

Great start, man! There's a very sneaky forum traffic generation method discussed at my free website traffic site. Check it out.

 

I don’t pay for ads. Your stats are impressive considering it as start up.

 

My Methods I Use Are:

Directory Submission
Article Submission

And every other non spam submission i also use allot of forums with my signature link.

 

You can manage to have hundreds of users a day by social networking, forums, etc. but the only important traffic you rely on is the organic.

 

Yes, you can. I have seen affiliates make hundreds on Dollars on free classifieds, forums, article submissions, directory submissions and content optimization.

 

Yes, I also have one site who start to generate some revenue after some articles / directories submission

 

someone please share, I'm new and i want to make money (as all of us here ), but so far I'm having no luck with my earnings... i can't find good niche idea, i can't find good domain (that is available) i can't come up with new virtual product and so on ...

 

How many directories or you submiiting to per day/week and how many have you submitted to to get the results?

Can you list a few for the forum members to help us get some results like you, just for us newbies

 

If you have a site that people talk about, there is no need to pay for traffic.

Last month I got 60.000 uniques to web2announcer.com with not a dime spend. Social bookmarks and word of mouth did the job

 

I don't pay for anything and my one-week-old blog has got 80 visitors.. Yeah I know that's pretty low... But it's my first blog ever! Anyway, I'm hoping more will show up on my other new blog I just started today on free dating service.

Good luck for you all, guys!

 

Been There

I can give you two ideas to start off:

1) Select an Area that interests you and create a web directory in which other webmasters can submit their sites. This should be a directory in a specific area, not another general web directory.eg. http://www.princessyumyum.net This way, you will also get to know about a lot of other websites in your area of interest.

2) Again, Select an Area that interests you. Start an affiliate site with some good original content. Here is a tutorial link: http://www.bdisoftware.net/affiliate-masters-ebook.php
