Hi all,
I hired a company to renovate and implement an SEO program to a site I recently purchased. Within the first few weeks, they indicated the traffic had been increasing and they had just begun since the traffic counter was the basic that was free. When I purchased a full fledged traffic indicator that showed me everything about my traffic from the day I purchased it, it showed the company I hired didn`t impact it at all. In fact, I`m giving them the benefit of the doubt, they may have been responsible .05%, but not likely. The rest came from pop under ads I purchased.
One last bit of info, they claimed they listed us in nearly 600 places (such Google) and even gave me a list of the companies they placed us with. When I canceled the pop under ads, I received but a handful of visitors.
So how do I measure their success, continue with zero pop under ads?
Thanks,
Cv




Not sure what the pop under ads has to do with visits to your site.... you should have direct links for search engines and directories (if that`s where they submitted).
