Hi All,
I'm just starting out and my first go is with an adsense project. I'm running into a few problems that you I hope someone might be able to help with.
I have read that the penguin slap can be pretty catastrophic to a new site so I'm going for article quality vs 100% blackhat and so far I have:
Google analytics is reporting 12 sessions in total - 3 this week (I have exempted my own IP address from analytics)
So my questions broadly are:
Is is normal to get this level of traffic at this stage? - aside from keep writing articles is there anything else I can do to elevate the site up traffic wise? - I'm not expecting 1000's of visitors right now, but a token motivational double figure a week would be nice.
Should I be submitting my site to one of these auto-backlink sites? - or is that a bad idea for a new site?
Are there any other blackhat methods that are considered safe-ish?
Thanks

I have read that the penguin slap can be pretty catastrophic to a new site so I'm going for article quality vs 100% blackhat and so far I have:
- Selected a niche which I know a little bit about - keyword planner shows 10,540 searches/mo - with a relatively high bid
- Registered a new domain - 23 chars long + .info - just over 1 month ago (keywords in the domain)
- Written bespoke word press articles - 3 at the moment; I have been doing around 1 a week on and off.
- Adsense 2/3 blocks on each page.
- Enrolled to google webmaster tools
- Submitted to Bing/DMOS/trustdirectoy (still pending)
- posted a few twitter responses where relavant
- run the site through site analyzer (75%)
Google analytics is reporting 12 sessions in total - 3 this week (I have exempted my own IP address from analytics)
