Questions about traffic...

[Ruby2Much]

I'm in the process of learning about how traffic is generated (as a performer, this was always a huge mystery). Mark and Greg are both on the phone with clients so I'm asking you XNations. What are your favourite resources on:

- pay-per-click advertising: ie: how do the brokers source and direct the traffic with such accuracy?
- search engine traffic: how does a site get listed? I understand this takes time ... why?

Any quick links you can pass my way will be very helpful.

Thanks!

Thats a pretty loaded question - so let me try and offer a bit of help

Terms to know

Links List:
While many of the other types of sites will have a links list, sites in this group are mostly just a collection of links. PK's Adult Links is a good example. A links list site does hard links. They carry a permanent link to your site, you carry a permanent link to theirs.

TGP's
Basically a TGP is just a specialized type of links list. You submit galleries that meet their guidelines and they post the galleries on their site. Each TGP will have their own requirements. Your listing on a TGP will generally be limited to the amount of time it takes for them to rotate their list. Some TGP's have a "archive" section where older listings are carried for an extended period of time. These archives may be by date or by category.

Top List:
A top List is a traffic EXCHANGE program. Your placement on their list is determined by how much traffic you send them. They re-rank their list periodically ..maybe hourly, maybe daily. Generally, there is a minimum number of hits you need to qualify for a listing.

SiteAdvisor:

SiteAdvisor checks a site to see if it is safe or harmful

see, use it for like others sites, etc, just fill in a different URL

http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/in...07.com/summary/

same as for all the other tools here,
just put in a different URL to check a different site

Pay Per Click advertisers will usually be running a program that counts the number of times, and the number of click-thrus, via a Google-adwords type adlist that runs on a network of sites, or in a key-word search-engine sort of environment.

That's by no means the only places clicks can be counted and charged for per click, but they're the first that come to mind and maybe the most popular.

"Accuracy" is based on a lot of factors. One of the most important is the actual volume of traffic they process. If they have a handle on millions of searches or clicks per day, they can pretty much give you what you want - 2000 clicks per day, spread over a 24hr period, with 50% past a certain hour because that's when you get the most sales, for example...

If a broker has less traffic, or a smaller network or sites or properties on which to place your ad or link, then their accuracy can suffer, or they limit their client list, and place you on a schedule.

This is a truly narrow/general example, but hopefully it gives you a clearer idea.

Search engine indexation: a site gets listed simply by being.

However there's all sorts of things that can help that happen faster, including submitting to them directly, getting your site listed or linked in a forum, on a press release, or a simple directory, and nowadays there's also getting on blogs, which get crawled more often (by spyders or bots - search engine indexation agents, which are basically automated programs that set out to aggregate websites, links within websites, sniffing out what's there to be had).
