Trying to be patient

    I have submitted to directories, I think I have MSN placement already, I think I am optimized okay, some say my adsense placement is okay. But the google cache is about 8 days old and only the home page, my sitemap is still pending and I am seeing essentially no clicks and not a huge amount of impressions compared with what I read on DP (not sure what numbers I can say without violating TOS). Do I need to continue to be patient or change some things? I do have a number of ideas to add to the site in the keyword department and optimizing that I know will put ads on some pages that viewers will find useful. But shouldn't I be seeing some traffic?
    Thank you

    How long has your site been in existence?

    The ads on the bottom left were cutoff when I viewed your page.

    There is only an Amazon ad about midway down on the left. Nothing is cutoff when I scroll, it goes all the way down to the contact info.

    One month is not long enough...wait...have patience.

    And remember one minor thing....do not rely on search engine traffic!

    Keep promoting, and get visitors using promotion.

    Thank you, that's what I thought but I needed to hear it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something dramatically wrong. I'll keep promoting and plugin' away.

    how many people have come to your site. What is the average per day. If you don't have proper statistics there is a website www.statcounter.com It is a great statistics program and will tell you instantaneousely who is coming to the site and where they are coming from and what keywords they typed in, etc..... It also lets you put your own ip address in so it won't register in the statistics. Hope this helps
