Traffic from Social Websites

Are you using social sites like digg, delicious, twitter and other to increase traffic to your site? ShoeMoney recently wrote an article about twitter saying that after using Twitter for one year he received 25,000 visits direct from twitter.

Now of course Shoemoney is a SEO / Web Marketing Hero, how does that affect a SEOLoser like myself. I do not currently have a site that even gets 25,000 visits per month. Well, on a smaller scale Twitter and the other social network sites are very helpful in bringing traffic to your sites. I launched the Twitter account for this site on May 5th, and I am currently getting about 6 visits per day from Twitter and the rest of the Twittosphere. If that pace continues and say that goes to 60 within a couple of months, or 4-500 visits per day in a year, that is a nice extra traffic boost for me.

If you have not used this services to attempt to drive traffic to your site give it a try. If you have, let us know the results.

Thanks for reading.

What has been your greatest SEO Success

I have had two small successes with my websites. Currently I have a 3 or 4 websites making a few(Less than 5) hundred a month.

At one point I had a forum, which I still have, which was doing over 1000 visits per day. It lasted about six weeks and was gone, back to the 2-300 visits per month it gets now. Not a very profitable site, but still something I am glad to have.

I registered an expired domain that for 6 weeks received about 800 visits per day, mostly from Yahoo. The previous owner of the domain seemed to use some black hat techniques that paid off for a short time for me. After the 6 weeks, it was down to 14 mostly type in visits a day. I have tried to get the website un-banned with emails to yahoo and resubmissions with no luck. A very profitable 6 weeks is all that I received out of this site, but it was still the best earning two months that I have had with a site.

Have you had any past successes that you can share? Please comment.

A SEO Winner or an SEO Loser…What is the difference

What is the difference between a hard working newbie in the SEO / Affiliate Marketing business from a person who shows up from nowhere to hit it big. Is it the ability to take chances that may make the big google mad. Is it great creative and writing skills? Is it technical knowledge?
