Can an experienced webmaster please explain traffic expectations for websites pre goog1e sandbox days and today?

Basically I had launched a subdomain website in January, I started off doing link exchange and building pages and started getting about 20 hits from SE and then nothing obviously must have got sandboxed. I carried on builind a section of the site which now has 100 pages, some of these pages gave traffic but now the give nothing. I only get 5 hits from SE's.

Since I am new can someone give me an idea what has happened here and is this normal for websites being built today. Also based on what I have said would the story have been different if I launched before sandbox days?

Finally I have also started a foot fetish blogspot site since November 2007, it now has 109 pages of content but is only getting 20 - 40 hits from se's and recently for no reason all traffic almost stopped.

I ask the above questions because I hear so much of people launching normal sex sites and getting virtually thousands of hits within weeks. Why am I not experiencing this?

Thanks

Hi Badmash,

There are lots of reasons why you may not be getting more hits but considering how much competition there is out there just to appear on the first or second pages of any SE, it's no wonder...

Here's one suggestion though: Why didn't you include a link to it in your post? It should be included in your signature to begin with ...

Cheers!

are you optimizing your website for any specific keywords? If not, its doubtful you'll get far with SE traffic. Also, I believe its harder to get ranked with subdomains for very specific terms than with a domain.

And I'd get rid of that blogpost blog if I were you, b/c its going to get deleted at some point.

I have the same problem with some of my blogs, there are a lot of factors. Keywords, domain age, content, maybe bad links. who knows. Try making more blogs and do some experiments
