Traffic that you won't see at your web site, here is how.

I now know two more ways how not to get traffic to your web site:

1. Method number one, everyday I read about ways to drive traffic to your web site. When I see something that looks interesting then I give it a try. 
   
   Yesterday I read about how you can post comments in Google answers and then add your web site this will show up in the google index instantly and add traffic to your web site.
   
   I then went and signed up for google answers and registered an account. After that hassle I look through and spend about 2 hours thinking up some great answers for topics that I happen to be an expert on.  
   
   I then spend another hour making sure I had the best answers possible before I posted them.   
   
   Today I look and my beautiful answers have all been deleted.   
     
   Google leaves a bunch of crap in there that is spam, and they delete my well thought out informative answers.   
     
   That really pissed me off.   
    
   
   
2. Method number two, posting your link in the news groups.
     
   I have seen this talked about a lot also so I decided to give it a try.  
     
   I found a relevelant topic and posted some great posts in a very poplular news group 2 weeks ago.   
     
   Today I checked and from the 12 posts that I made I have received exactly 9 visitors for each post.   
     
   108 visitors in two week from 12 posts, most of the visitors came in the first 2 days.
     
   I think I got a couple of the visitors the last week, so I can assume this will be most all of the volume that I will get.  
     
   I am not sure what it would cost to buy 108 clicks from some service but my guess is it would be a couple bucks.  
     
   If you were going to make these posts anyway then these 108 people would be free traffic, but if your counting your time to post then your probably making .50 cents on hour or something like that. 

I hate to even think it but I am starting to wonder now if spam would be more productive that my current promotion methods.
