so i just made a website that will maybe get %1 traffic from SE's if i am lucky. Is there a way to get across to a lot of people preferabbly without ppc programs. like myspace maybe?
Look for places like myspace, there's at least 20 of them. There's also other methods. See the article Chrissurfrider
actually, I would think the SE should provide the major traffic. that is a healthy way for the long term.
That's the best way definitely.... Unfortunately, you're always sweating under the shadow of the next update and its impact on your SERPs.
as long as you follow ethical rules for SEO, I don't see any major impacts to website SERPs by SE updates.
That's fine on your end. The problem is you can't control your competitors. I've seen one of the site I consult for go from 200K USD a year to 85K USD due to its competitors' surge in SERPS.
