Unique Growth

[astuart]

I only just began generating traffic, due in no small part, to list site submissions. My question is about growth.

I'm floundering at between 1500 and 2000 uniques a day, and have been for the last couple of weeks. How does one make the jump to the next level?

At this point, I'm submitting daily to some very big lists, most of which don't allow more than one submission in a 24-hour period.

Beyond mainstream SE optimization, and webring submission, and link exchanges, is the solution to create additional sites and submit them to smaller sites, those that accept more than one submission a day?

I hesitate to do this because prior to discovering lists like Jays, GreenGuy, SmutGremilin, PenisBot, etc., I was submitting to smaller sites who were eager to accept any submission, but returned/return next to no hits (1 or 2 uniques a day from some, fewer than that).

Anyone out there got any hints?
