So i started a site a week and a half ago have been updating every other day and doing promotion through a couple of senuke blasts, manual link building, and youtube. so like the title states how long before i start to see if my efforts worked i am already indexed to. any help would be appreciated searched and didnt see any threads with info about this.
I see a lot of posts and get a lot of emails about this.
My point of view on traffic is this:
Getting indexed in Google doesn't guarantee you visitors. Posting videos, Tweets, Social Bookmarks,etc doesn't guarantee you visitors.
I never setup a site and promote it with the hope that visitors will come. I believe it is my personal responsibility as a marketer to make the visitors come to my site and keep coming back. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time to setup in the first place.
Some helpful tips for getting traffic:
1. Have a site with valuable content of good quality. Make sure the information is really useful to your niche.
2. Have scheduled updates. If your content is solid, this will make your viewers look forward to your updates and many will come back more often since they know you are updating. This works really well for me. Works 100x better if you are building email lists.
3. When you promote your site via video, twitter, bookmarking, articles, whatever...make sure that you draw the viewer in. Make sure to give something appealing to the reader. Give them only enough that they they will be dying to know the rest(which is on your site of course).
4. Don't be a "machine" when you promote
