Always highly appreciated when someone shares referral statistics and tips.
Thank you!
Hmm… Maybe it’s because I’m still a kid, but I really don’t care about setting up traffic sites… Okay, I use twitter, but apart from that, I just let it happen…
EDIT : I also think that being active on the forum here and helping people can generate traffic. I remember last week when I had about 300 unique visitors and 1000 page views on my website, now I have about 400 unique visitors and 2100 page views and I made more sales. So the forum is really a great way to generate traffic.

quickandeasy, impressive clickthrough/registration numbers, however perhaps by attracting TF buyers you could earn much more – $14 per deposit now. It seems GR buyers deposit much less for obvious reasons.

@xdkd,
with the new prices on TF, referring to there will definitely be something I’ll try and move into 
I could probably monetize my traffic a little more to be fair…

Great post!!
This might help me increase my sales. ^^

Very interesting! I never realized flickr drove that kind of traffic! I definitely will have to start using it, can I ask for flickr for example, do you submit to groups? or simply just upload your image and leave it?
Hi Adam, I too would like to know if submitting to flickr groups is more helpful than just submitting to the site, my site submissions fetch very few views and as such I’ve stopped submitting to flickr. Can you advise?

@Sherman,
I would be making it up if I tried to give you Flickr tips, I simply upload my works to there, I’m not really ‘involved’ with the site as I am with places such as DA.
