I am a visual artist finding it hard to get site visitors. Can't be my art, no one, hardly, sees it.
Does anyone else have this promblem? If we visited each others sites, if I understand google bots properly, would this increase our ranking? We should be able to see from Stats and/or forum postings or messages, who has visited us, and if we could form a group and regularly exchange visits this would surly get things moving for us all. I was thinking other artists, when I had this idea, but any type of site is welcome. The more we had, the less we would have to visit each others sites. Perhaps once or twice a day at first, then 3 or 4 times a week, depending on the number we got in the group.

By the way, understand bounce rate. We would need to scroll through some pages, or down long one page sites, not leave too quickly, so that we don't add to bounce rate. We would all need to play fair, treat others as we would like to be treated. Any savvy tech. person understand how this would work please add comment.

This would have no effect whatsoever on the googlebot. Also for the googlebot to drive traffic to your site, there must first be a good body of people searching fo the type of information in your forum. If the forum is empty, you will get no visitors through SEO. ie You have to have useful content that people are searching for in your forum before Googlebot will offer it to people.
Thanks for that Paul. I am going to cancel my premium site now anyway. Cost has risen and its not worth it.
Not only has the prices gone up, but they are giving us less storage. The most storage that you use to be able to buy was 3TB of storage. Now, they are charging us MORE and the most storage you can get is 50gb!!!! Wtf. That amount will quickly get used up in a forum with multiple people uploading pictures and other content.
Thanks for that info James, I realized there was less storage but didn't know how much less. I have kept my site but would have had to pay extra to keep com, so have gone to co.uk Still not getting much traffic and can't see where the odd one or two I do get are coming from because you now have to pay for the Stats, which were free. Just get numbers.I have done my first YouTube video, not the best but will do a better one soon.
