Not only your strategic based on social networks. May be there’re more way to make traffic that your site. But the people that thing only at easy money try to find get rich schemas only with different names, but the same principles.
I thing that the drama is an excuse for the bad content sites, that only say that the traffic suck or don’t keep their goals, but they don’t see that their sites didn’t work and should never happen nothing good.
Thanks by your point of view.

It actually does more than that for me - but of course it all depends on the community you build around (people really interested in your niche) and what you have to say.

I guess I am one of the lucky few?

Thanks for the link. A nice follow up post as well. StumbleUpon only seems to bring in visitors that stay on your site for a mere few seconds, or if you are lucky, minutes.

I think this goes to show that there is no extent people cannot go just to get traffic to their websites, even if has to be through somewhat illegal means.

Thanks for bringing this to light. So hard to believe. Quality is the name of the game.

Yes,Sue. They scream the same word to me too. But ugliness sells, apparently.
I work with a girl who buys ebooks from such charlatans. Of course spam works, it’s proved. But there is always an ethical question to be answered, isn’t it?

There will always be people who think they can get by without effort, those who believe in get rich quick rich schemes and new bloggers who get sucked in for a while. They are probably the ones who go through life thinking it is not fair and that someone else is to blame for their misfortunes.

What I don’t understand is how people can believe in those awfully designed sites, that to me shout out “SCAM”

No worries, Alina. It’s true I am lazy at posting these days - I am a little bit tired and had some health problems as well. I am better now and will try to post more often.

Hi Mig, this is an amazing piece as more and more people are lured into these magical solution books. You’d think they’d get old after a while, but if the Nigerian letter still makes victims, this is also understandable.

P.S. sorry for commenting so late. My bloglines reader went nuts and show nothing from you for days I used other means (the old fashion url type in my browser) to get here and see the great pieces you’ve posted.

@Laura: you are right - and there is no way we can stop these people from trying to fool the naive web users. But we can try to educate at least our visitors not to waste their money on crap like this. 17 USD would make a nice donation for a charity…

@David: thanks for the fast follow up, David!

@Bull3t - you made many good points in your entry, and it was my pleasure to include your link.

@Edward: are you talking about 50 hits from Stumble? That’s not much for 6 hours - but better than nothing
