Getting away from the mfa farming style and into making an authority site in a niche I'm passionate about. Got a site with a few good articles that I've taken time to write about and now I'm looking to bring in traffic. I'd rather not rely on the 3 big searches, but I'm kind of lost as to where else I should be looking.
- I post often on a forum in my niche and help out with a link in a sig, hasn't pushed much traffic lately.
- Recently (last 24 hours) got a reddit post upvoted (800+) on a topic and kinda whored my site out a little there, while not trying to look real spammy. Decent traffic boost, but from my understanding that post is going to fall back soon and really isn't going to be sending much after that. (That was my first time on reddit, shit seems like a clusterfuck of unorganized text)
- In my spare time I SEO a few pages for a bunch of generic terms each. Again, rather not be my main source of traffic, just like to get the ball rolling and maybe get some organic links for my content once it gets out.
- Tried buying a few domains on GoDaddys auction, so far that is a failure. Bought a few closeout domains ($5-$12 each) that was "estimated" to be getting 50-120 uniques a month. I believe my analytics has picked up less than 5 altogether, so fuck that noise for now until I find a way to verify traffic.
Thinking about trying Pinterest next since I have a few pics that seem to be catered to that crowd, but I'm fully retarded when it comes to how Pinterest works so I have some homework to do before then.
Any other traffic sources that you've had success with?
