This is a screen-shot of my SiteMeter stats for my new niche model site. I just wanted to show you how a new site can generate a lot of traffic in a short amount of time. The site is on a Blogger/Blogspot blog at the moment, but, I will be switching it to WordPress for better search-engine traffic.
On Thursday, 7/19, I published the site in afternoon or so, and submitted a few articles to social news sites and made some various message forum posts. As you can see the traffic is decent, but not all that great. Day #2, Friday, 7/20, I released a catchy title about a celebrity model article and you can see I got 5 times as much visitors but with only 3hrs in the day. Day #3, I released my second article which I labored over once again, and with only 1 1/2 hr in the day, I almost hit the same amount of visitors with the combination of those two articles. Sunday and Monday are about the after-effects.
I just want to say, for any brand new site, there's lots of potential. Make one really good article and market it as much as you can. Because what I've learned is spending time creating one really good article or blog entry is worth more than 100 crappy blogs.
Yes, note in the graph that I did mention I did get two forum bans. I was a little overzealous and didn't follow the rules. Basically linking an article. So be careful. But, those forum bans aren't really big deals. I'm now focused on optimizing the site for search-engine traffic from Google, MSN, and Yahoo.
If you haven't started a site yet, you can register a domain for a minimum of one year for under $10. There's free web hosting servers or blog sites to host your blog or site. With a bit of learning and experimenting, you can very well be building a traffic-monger of a website too.
