Traffic From Blog Directories!?

People don't seem to take hints and clues, ect, they just go on like nothing. They sure don't seem to read much. Then they wonder why they don't get traffic or make money..

I think so many come into this business thinking it's easy money. It isn't, but it's not that hard, either. It just takes a lot of time and patience.

I'd bet about 75% of the people read no more than the title and then skip to the bottom and start posting. About 20% read the first post in the thread and the remaining 5% well I'm not niave to say they read all the posts.

Too many times you find a wealth of information hidden in a post you would have thought was a dud.

The truth is you need to develop traffic sources outside of top lists and blog directories before you expect to get traffic from those sources.

I've keep my mouth shut for some time trying to see traffic direction of my sites. it's safe to say that this quote is so true. I've pushed some of my traffic (nothing fancy) and I've got nice return from blog directories. So right now I'm on 300-400 hits daily from them witch is nice
and I'm seeing bookmarkers increase. I'd like to believe it's because every now and then I do make a post worth reading ;-)
now, about that reading thingy ... I have to say my surfers tend not to do it in those average 10seconds they stay on my site
