Didn't see you post this... sounds good to me And to be honest... I think the site really is a good way to increase traffic on your site.. I know my tagrookie site has received 3 referrals from rate-my-website haha. Plus we need some real variety, the bulk of the sites so far are ones targeting webmasters

I have some news!

FIRST:

I created a new ad group called "nonwebmasters" for my ad that targeted regular internet users, not webmasters. The ad text was:

Discover great new sites!
Rate and review or submit websites.

And it actually received 6 clicks after 369 views

That was quite the increase!

AND SECOND: I went and wrote up a tell-a-friend script and also created a form to generate links to direct visitors to your rating site.

Thanks for the update, psychdev,

It's exciting to be getting traffic from Adwords, but it's not nice to find out you've spent a couple of hundred dollars in a short period of time (unless, of course, you are making at least that in revenue from those clicks)... so keep your eye on it... over time, those clicks can accumulate into a bunch of money!

Default Little update:

I'm not sure if this matters to anyone other than myself.. but...

after I added that feature of 'Link to us' .. I didn't think anyone would use it... but someone actually did! and I received 5 unique hits from them yesterday!

So I guess that means it was 100% worth the time of adding the feature! 110% worth it!
