I used to have 40k bookmarkers a day. Now I have only about 8k cause my content sucks and Ive been jerkling surfers around.

My layout of my page is the same, and for a while my traffic volume was the same.

Having 40k in bookmarkers really reflected the quality of my site. Quality converted to signups and signups made me $$.

Since loosing my bookmarks my signups have gone in the toilet.

Quality Quality Quality is the answer.
Anyone can fuck people around with a trade script or trade with exit popups, but its the bookmarkers that convert.

Just 4 months ago when I had a good percentage of bookmarkers I was getting about 25 signups a day on a variety of programs.. Now I get under 10.

If you let your bookmarkers get low enough and have no plan of correction your traffic will be next to drop.

It starts with a decrease in signups, then progresses to a serious traffic problem.

i know this first hand after not doing shit for the past 6 months.. I guess this was a study for me and now that I know how long my site can live without updating or having content its back to work for me.
