Hello, I have posted my site www.BLASTProxy.com on about a dozen Web Proxy "Top Sites" pages; however, I am not getting very good results from those recipricol links, nor can I find them indexed in Google. Am I wasting my time with the "Top Sites", or have other people had better results? Gururise
A waste of time. Most of them want you to put some code on your site so your visitors will go there and hopefully vote your site as tops. Why should a webmaster send his visitors to another site? ANd for what reason? NONE.
^ you obviously don't know how it works buddy. Topsites help a site get some exposure and hopefully some link exchanges with other members of that topsite. In a way it joins the webmasters of the same niche into one site. It also helps users. Instead of using a search engine, they can just go there and find sites of their interest.
Yep, this buddy knows how they work. Still a waste of time. That is my opinion from my experience. You still end up sending your precious visitors to another site.
Well I run two very large topsites in that field (proxy sites) and within days of listing new proxy sites on a dozen or so topsites.. My traffic gradually builds to hundreds a day. Its free traffic and if you know how to use it, all the better Its just your loss if you dont want to use them.
They put a lot of stress on servers with all the php scripts having to run to verify clicks and stuff. Not worth it imo.
its just like any other script. PPC script, link exchange script, banner exchange script, no stress at all.
They are only worth it if you have visitors willing to click. If you have a lot of traffic allready, it could be a good way to boost it.
It depend on the site. First check "Out" option to find out how much visitors the site sent to other web sites and then quality of listed sites. If you are satisfy with result then is it worth to submit your site. Of course if you send more visitors from your own site your position will be higher and you will receive much more visitors. Take for example the site in my signature.
I have always doubted these. I cant tell if they are just sending traffic or what. And if they are just sending traffic, is it quality?
At least you get some link. It all depends on how much visitors that "TOP SITES" directory has. Check http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/?keywords=best+sites&country=us, if your site has gambling, music or porn related content, then it is a must to be listed as there is too much competition and gambling or porn content is so controversial that it´s quite hard to break through with SEs. But also with proxy related content it will not hurt you to get listed to the best ones http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/?keywords=best+sites&country=us
I seem to be getting some traffic, but its hard to tell if its quality traffic yet. Thanks for the tips!
