    Ok my site is new a little over a month old (that shouldnt be the problem, there are plenty of new sites bringing in x,xxx visitors a day) and my site has 100% unique content. Ive seo'd the hell out of it. Backlinks, fresh content, submitted to all major search engines, article directories, you name it. So here i am with 1 visitor a day if that, and its a referral. My site has come from 5 million alexa to under a million within this time. Can anyone give me an idea what im doing wrong?

    Im doing website analyzers, backlink checkers, serp checkers. ALL SORTS of TOOLS to help me but im in DIRE need of help right now as I am at my wits end to this site.

    Uhhhh, I dont know "who" told you that domain age does not matter, because it does. From my experience - Google will give a new site a decent ranking, maybe page one or page two for a few days, maybe a week or two. And then the site will get knocked down in the results pages. This is normal activity and its nothing to worry about. Just about every site I have ever opened does this.

    I would like to see some of those "new sites that get x,xxx visits a day". Usually, older mature sites get more traffic and rank better in the SERPs then a new site - this is just the way it is.

    From my experience, its going to take at least 6 month before a site reaches a stable ranking in the SERPs. And then, the site will need to be about 1 year old before traffic starts to pick up. And another year before traffic "really" starts to pick up.

    Go into google and do a search on a keyword. Lets pick the topic of "news". The first sites that come up in the results pages are - CNN, foxnews, abcnews, msnbc, news.google.com, news.yahoo.com, nytimes.com, cbsnews.com and news.cnet.com.

    Now, do you "really" expect to open a site on "news" and bump those big boys out of the way? It aint gonna happen. Those sites rank where they do because they are older domains, have a high page rank, stay updated on a regular basis and have original content.

    right but ive seen sites that this guy grizz claims to have made 9k in a week from brand new websites 3 of them to be exact.

    ive also run my site through tons of website/seo analyzer tools and they all come through alright some real bad for keyword to page relevancy.

    New websites tends to receive pretty low traffic in the starting no matter how much SEO you are doing.
    Best thing is keep on building quality back links, Fresh Content, and social Bookmakring, then it will get traffic for sure.
    Just have to have some patience.

    I would suggest you to do some serious link building activity. Starting from blog commenting and concentrate on keyword. Use google analytics and find out on which keyword your website is referred to. Study the bounce rate and improve your pages to suite your visitors need and reduce the bounce rate.

    You asked for good social bookmarking site?
    Submit blog post to high PR, Alexa, dofollow social bookmark sites listed http://atniz.com/2009/02/08/submit-blog-post-to-high-pr-and-traffic-dofollow-bookmark-sites/

    This is the internet, people can "claim" anything they want. When he starts a site on "news", and can outrank people like CNN - then believe him. And it does not have to be "news", it can be any search term with over 10 or 20 million results.

    I have seen people open sites, then say they rank #1 for their niche market within a few weeks or days. But, their "niche" usually turns out to be an exact search term where there might be a few dozen or hundred results.

    Google has put measures into place to prevent new sites from "leapfrogging". Building a site on the internet takes time, lots of time.
