How I raised my site traffic
The project Car sales was written in 2007 on flights (Ruby-on-Rails).
Then I was on the third course, I didn’t know about REST and a bunch of all sorts of stuff, dryuchek, in short, the project was written a little treshnyakovo. Now we are gradually rewriting it and will soon launch with a new design.
First, the project was in hibernation for six months - attendance did not exceed even 100 unique ones.
We tried to include context on Google - it gave 150-200, the site came to life a bit. But, after the stipuha was over, AvtoLogo again went off for a full 3 months.
In September 2008, they passed over 100 and confidently rose to 200. But since such statistics did not warm the soul, and there was not much time, they left the project to the mercy of fate. Sometimes they would drop in, write on ... In January, we got a confident 250 tons, sometimes it reached 300 hundred!

In February, I accidentally found tags with traffic police cameras on maps of meta.ua. There was an idea. Googled, found the IGO file of these cameras, about 800 pieces. I placed them all on my map, I used the Mapia.ua API, since I worked there at that time. I posted posts on cameras in three forums, left links. What happened:
All Time Visits:
As you can see on the graph, there was first a camera boom, since the info is interesting and new, moreover, I would make the users add cameras themselves, could vote for the veracity of their presence in this place and leave comments both on all objects and separately. A month later, we went out exactly 1500 uniquely a day, then 1000, now it is holding at 650-800. Last month, we completely calmed down - wrote a diploma for uni.
Now the main traffic comes from search engines (we have been thoroughly discussed in all automotive forums). In general, everything turned out spontaneously and very well influenced the future development of the resource as an automotive portal .
But there were problems. At first, a server fell down from such a load, the admin was quick to call because they owed him a year of using the hosting. Then, when scraped up some money, we began to steal the idea, and what's even worse - the added objects on our resource. And these are such big portals as autocentre.ua , zavodi.ua and mapia.ua .
Most offensively for mapia.ua , after I went there to develop my personal projects, they took without any shame all the 800 original tags and 500 tags added by users. I asked to put a link to the original source - I received a cruelly frostbitten answer " We placed them in test mode, which would just see how they would look on the map . "
This is how it is. Do not judge only strictly, I'm just starting to write posts. I usually write Ruby code.
If you like, I will write more :)
