Question about link list and TGP

ecchi · 2010-04-08, 03:04 AM

A more important question than "who is listing you?" is the question "who is sending you traffic?"! There are plenty of link lists and TGPs that will list you quickly and possibly even send you an email, but who get so little traffic themselves that they send you bugger all hits, or close to bugger all hits. When you start off this is not going to matter, as you will have time to test new sites. But as your list of sites to submit to grows, submitting to no-good sites will use up time that could be more profitably spent elsewhere. So keep an eye on your stats, note who sends you no traffic, who sends you loads of traffic, and the various stages in between. Then stop submitting to sites that send no traffic. As your list of submit sites grows, you will also have to drop those that only send you a little traffic, but the amount of time you have to submit and the size of you list of good sites will determine where you put the drop off line.

Oh, and in case you are not already aware; you really need good stat software to do this. Not only are free counters not accurate enough, a lot of link lists will not list you if you have a free counter on your site.
