How flustrating does it get for you

2 replies
Ok now I absolutely love this forum however there are several here who read the title of the post made by someone who simply wants some answers. They refuse to read what the person really says in the post but do pick out one or 2 things.

Then they give you an answer on something you are not looking for at all. For instance I made a post earlier about increasing my ctr from the serps for a site that is in the number 2 position for a term that gets 550k searches a month yet I only get 2-10 visitors a day for that term. I pointed out in this post that GOOGLE WEBMASTERS TOOLS States I am getting a 5% ctr for my search term.

I also pointed out that it was an adsense site with a few click bank ads and they are constantly coming in to tell me that 5% ctr from adsense and click bank is good. YES I UNDERSTAND THAT but thats not what I was asking.

So word to all who are going to answer post. READ THE POST FIRST seriously. Do not just come here hoping to build backlinks from your sig file just jumping in every post you see and not read the post. I am sorry for yelling though out this. however it is flustrating to see so many site there and not read or maybe they did read it and forgot what they where reading by the time the scrolled down to post a one line comment.

Yes you can build links to your sites with this forum. However how many people do you think you are going to get to click your link if you respond with total nonsense.

    Yes I agree people shouldn't ask about how to get more traffic every five seconds, it's just ridiculous. I agree with you 100% here!

    Seriously though I have noticed this myself, many posts are answered with really silly answers that don't relate at all, and others will get a little bit close by talking about the right topic but not really give an answer to the question asked.

    It is silly, I guess you just have to ignore them and just read the comments that do make sense.

      I did sort of ask how to increase more traffic. However I know the traffic is there I just needed to increase the ctr to my site not the ctr on my site. For I know that on average the ctr on the site should be around 2-5% for adsense sites. Which I consistently get and have increased on a few of my other sites. I also know that the ctr on a google front page top 3 should be anywhere from 10-20% which is what I am not getting. So I do not want to damage my position trying to come up with a new description for the page.

      Although I also know I may not be able to avoid it if I want the site to preform the way I want it to. Any how I think I got most of my flustration out for not. Besides I have plenty more whiskey from 1973 to drink today.

      Yes I know its a bit early for whiskey how ever as that one song goes its 5 oclock somewhere.
