FP - How I Build Huge Sites, Get Good Traffic and Make Nice Money

[springer98]

I am getting traffic from images also. Probably people attempting to steal the photos... LOL

If you suspect that, you ought to use .htaccess to either prevent hotlinking, while still allowing your images to show in the SERPs, or make it so anyone who does show one of your images by hotlinking it also inadvertently gives you a link to your site and credit for the pic. If someone is going to burn up your bandwidth for their gain, you ought to get something out of it, too.

Hey Springer,

Can you explain this or give me a link for more information please?

Cheers mate.

Sure. Rather than me typing it all out here, this http://www.alistapart.com/articles/hotlinking/ will give you a pretty clear explanation. Scroll about half-way down the page for the .htaccess part.

Thanks Springer that is a good tip. I am not really worried about someone stealing my photo because it was from a free stock photo site but the link would be nice...

You're welcome. May as well get a free link out of the deal, eh? Granted, the link by itself may not be all that valuable (coming from a scraper site) but it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I've got a million of these little nuggets. So many I can't possibly remember them all.

Thanks for the handy tip Springer. I'll take free links any day of the week. You should put out on ebook with your million little nuggets. It might turn you into a gooroo!

LOL Stop drop and roll.... don't forget it.

Just a little update, I have for my site. I am almost at 60 days now and I have 10 articles on page 1. 25 articles ranking under 100 and another ten ranking between 111 and 271.

I have converted and monetized another site that ranks #2 for a tough keyword and is getting around a 100 visitors a day. I have also started 2 other sites that are less than 2 weeks old right now.

Good job. Any traffic stats?

The first site gets between 100 and 125 a day right now. The second site is getting around 15-30 a day and is a much newer site. Have not hit the front page yet with the really high volume keywords yet but they are inching closer.
