Just a quick note to say hello. My name is Ron and I own a website I now call a "Discount Department and Variety Shopping Website" I made the mistake of starting out with all the wrong ways to get traffic but I soon found out and learned as much as I could about SEO and organic search and how it can make the difference between my website being a hobby and a money making business. I'm still in my infancy of driving traffic to my site and working my buns off to do everything imaginable to get some Google rank, but with a site like mine that doesn't promise anyone anything except freebies, free samples, free coupons and seriously low prices, getting a high rank fast is really more like slow and steady wins the race. At least I hope it is, or I'm doing something very wrong.
In any case, the articles I've read here and a few of the tools and submitters I've come across has done my site more good since I joined about 1 week ago, then all the SEOing and traffic exchanges combined. In 1 week my Alexa rating jumped up almost 2 million spots which is really the first sign I've seen that maybe I finally am doing something right. But one of those things was without a doubt finding and joining this site and spending the time it takes to find what works and implementing it.
Thanks so very much to those who I've thanked. I'm really happy to be here.!
