i remember seeing an article in the paper about people running porn sites. they'd submit to yahoo and get 5000 hits a day. so when i finally got my pc, i submitted to yahoo thinking i was gonna make a killing. well here it is 4 and a half years later, and i'm still waiting for my 5000 hits from yahoo.
I'll tell you, when I was running the Voyeur Playground site, I had no idea about how to use search engines effectively.

One day, I wake up and see all these extra hits. So I go check my WSS stats, and I see it's Yahoo sending about 10,000 hits!! I never even submitted to them. Unless they manually added the site themselves, I have no idea how it got there. This is back when Yahoo was still a true directory listing, and not using results from other engines.
