  • A good way I have found to get indexed in 24 hours or less is to use craigslist.org, and post an ad.

    The ad's are up for 45 days (depending on the location you specify) and I can tell you from first hand experience this really works.

    Great site by the way.

    Cheers

  • Hi Tim,

    Oh, you won't get any dispute from me. My long-term clients will tell you that this was the very first tip I put in my very first book on getting spidered in Google faster- Four Years Ago. I even contacted Craig about donating a part of my proceeds to his site, but he said it would mean more to him if I gave it to a school.

    The technique was even more effective when fewer people were doing it, and more people respected the environment Craig created.

    In a few weeks I'll have my free ebook out on several hundred traffic tips one can use immediately. I'm tired of seeing someone write these books and charge an arm and a leg for information that doesn't even work - or who think their traffic is huge at 50 visitors a day....

    Good tidings to you and Thanks for Coming By!
  • Hi, Tinu!

    Great post, with powerful tips! I've linked to it from our blog & podcast, and added a 16th powerful traffic tip to round it out - www.DougChampigny.com.

    Keep up the great work...

    Doug Champigny.
  • good tips and good work
  • Hi Doug,

    I replied to your post before I saw the comments. I think the 16th tip is the most powerful one for overall traffic - I'm thinking of my core audience, which is offline businesses adding online components, people who have Timeshare companies, or do custom cabinets, or even language translation, who don't have affiliate programs, or online referral programs (even though some should).

    So great article. If you send me a trackback link, now or in the future, it will definitely be auto-approved.

    And I've been a fan of your work for years. :) I'm old school.
  • In the top three, I'd say yes. Most powerful, no. Ways you can increase traffic *within 24 hours* - never. The execution of the strategy takes much longer than that.

    The theory you're speaking of, though, I wrote a book a few years ago with a slightly more complex version of that very same advice. On that basis, I can somewhat vouch for your suggestion. Thanks for stopping by.
