:stoned I wasted more than 100k unique SE visitors.

This is a little tip for GFY:

I have a project that was semi-important to me, was supposed to be a huge freesite with tons of content pages and hundreds of pictures. Something a lot more important then came up on my to-do list and I had him stop on the project.
Up to that point my guy had finished ~25% of the total content sites..

I was just going through the stats of some of those older projects and noticed a huge increase in traffic on that specific site coming 100% from SEs.

this month alone it had 25k hits from yahoo images, 4k from altavista images, 3k from alltheweb and 2.5k normal yahoo search traffic.

now what is special you may ask.. those aren't pretty impressive numbers...
well - I would agree in general but
the whole site has not a single incoming link
I never linked to it and neither google and yahoo show 1 single backlink on ANY of the content pages, let alone the main domain, the site shouldn't even come up on the eninges.

Now how did this happen than?
Both, me and my guy (the only ones surfing on the website in the beginning to check the progress of the work) had the yahoo toolbar installed on our machines. I assume we did a lot of clicking on the pages

use that knowledge
my free tip of the month
