Hey, I have a website and I was looking at other websites and I noticed that all the big websites were part of a network. It was called Rydium network or something. I was wondering if I sign up and get accepted will they bring traffic to my website? How can they bring traffic to websites? Thanks and please explain. ---

Well. 1. [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/search.php?s=](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/search.php?s=) 2. Joining big networks isn’t the most popular idea. 3. Make something attractive and useful + promotion = traffic 4. To be accepted into big networks, you have to have lots of traffic in the first place. 5. The ‘goal’ of your site must be important in order to attract, many websites doesn’t really have a goal, ex. mine. 6. Don’t expect a lot of traffic suddenly come. Like most websites, it may take months or even years to get popular. Good luck with all that. Do you have a website link? ---

yup - i’m not sure but i think search engines such as google pop your site to the top if it’s referred by many sites (ie you link and are linked every where) make sure you do advertise your webpage wherever you go, for instance i have not yet a full website but half my traffic comes from people hitting this button: ![](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/images/home_website.gif) =) ---

yeah, I know. I already said it. By the way, I love your footer Yeldarb. Its hilarious. anyway, if you do link to me send me a PM or an email so I can link to you. I’m considering purchasing a domain, coppertop.cc, do you know anywhere that sells 'em dirt cheap? preferably one time payment. ---

Coppertop, read up on my PM offer. Usually CC’s sell really cheap, so go for it. But I know for one, my host doesnt host cc’s for some reason, not that I was planning to buy it. ---
