Shame on me, I failed again

Hello,

I must make a confession, I bought again a probably useless traffic package. This time from autohits.dk . I know this will result in 0 (zero) sales because it is a real shit system. It is a traffic exchange system: I look at your site, you look at my site. So far so good, but you can let the system run in minimized size, so I don't look at your site and you don't look at my site. Only one winner autohits.dk. At least they are fair, it's about 'hits' not about visitors.

Knowing all this, then why did I decide to waste my money on this? Well because it was cheap, only 7.5 USD for 1000 hits. When I study my own buying behaviour I found out that I'm willing to spend small amounts of money for a reasonable amount of 'visitors'. As long as it is below 10 USD for 1000 hits I'm in, above 10 USD I'm out.

So if you want to sell me some traffic (duh) your price has to below 10USD, that's the maximum loss I'm willing to take.

See you.

To Spam or not to Spam ...

Hi,

After my numerous failures to create an endless stream of traffic to my web site, I have changed my strategy: I will become the worlds first successful spammer. Spam rules the world wide web, and your humble servant will be master.

I know, everybody says you shouldn't spam, but on the other hand everybody says you should use this or that tool or software to create a massive flow of traffic to your site and let your web business explode. So if what every body says you should do, isn't working, then by pure inverse logic I have to come to the conclusion that what you should not do, will definitely work.

So let's SPAM.

Well this time I'll start carefully. Although I already received a nice offer to organize a spam campaign (100 USD for 1 million emails looks like a bargain), I'll take another approach. But I won't let you down. I'll first try Doorway Pages. So I'll first try to spam (or fool) the search engines by using a wonderful (read free) tool to create 100 doorway pages. (For those not familiar with this technique: a doorway page is a search engine optimized fake page, that gets indexed and high ranked in search engines, and redirect any visitor to your main page)

So yesterday I created 100 doorway pages: 50 with a javascript redirect, 50 with a flash redirect.

Now while I wait I'll inform my bank to increase already the size of my account, because now I'm sure the money will flow in at an unstopable rate.

Come and see,

Eric
