www.selfpromotion.com
or selfpromote.com one - I used this site.. paid a $5.00 fee and it alone within 1 month was helping bring about 5000+ hits to my site

Pay Per Click search engines work very good for our online store (the one in the signature).

put some meta tags with the word "sex" and "free sex" in them , that will bring you up when someone uses a search engine

Ok, let me rephrase my original question.

What's the best way to generate hits from people that are ACTUALLY interested in visiting my website? Not just going there because they were tricked into doing so.

Make it not suck. Then people will tell their friends about your non-sucky site.

Same Answer - but actually have some pictures

Let ATOT know that you have pics for them to drool over.

If you are paying the hosting bill out of your pocket, the less hits the better...

Like I said before: Pay per click search engines, they can bring you 100 visitors for $1

Just three easy steps.

1. Put a counter on your page*

2. Open up your page

3. Hit F5 on your keyboard

Repeat part 3 untill you are satisfied


*counter should not log ip address or setup a cookie, that will kill the process.

What's a 'counter'? What does the 'F5' button do? What page?

Make it a quality site, put some links in related newsgroups and forums, and eventually, if it's quality, word-of-mouth will get around and you'll have hits, or more importantly many unique visitors.

Ok you obviosly dont know much about web designing and whatnot
Here is a free counter
A counter logs views on your page, some counters register only one view per ip every 5 minutes or so and some set a cookie that expires after 5 minutes or something. So if you refresh your page again the counter will not log it. F5 does just refresh your page instead of you clicking the refresh button in the toolbar. F5 is the key above 6 and 7 on your keyboard (not in the keypad but on the other area)

A few tips are: work on link popularity. Get other sites to link to yours. A link exchange is one (free) way to accomplish that. Search engine ranking will also help (search engine forums may help there).

Greetings KHTM,

Let me share with you some of my experience in online marketing. I work for an online company which markets almost primarly based on PPC (Pay Per Click) search engines (Goto.com, Ah-Ha.com, etc.). The company is *cough*bathwise.com*cough* and what i can tell you is that we spend several thousand per month on PPC's (while it is effective if utilized properly, it's not always cheap). #1 Rule in directing traffic to your site is (especially) with PPC engines you want to target your specific market (for instance Bathwise targets DIY'ers, contractors, etc..). I'll tell you right now numbers don't lie, but they don't always tell the whole truth. I began marketing for Bathwise recently and when i first went into Goto i saw we were utilizing approximately 400 keywords. Now, 400 keywords is a lot of shiat and believe me a lot of those words weren't directed at our primary market. Not only did the additional keywords cost us a lot of money, but it caused a lot of problems. We constantly get phone calls for products that we don't stock, because our keywords are misleading (not good business practice). So, i believe your main concern would be to figure out exactly who is your target market (demographics, trends, etc) and do your research as to where you can most effectively utilize marketing dollars.
