Which is more important - number of hits or number of incoming links? Do Google (and other search engines) pay much attention to number of hits a site gets?I was thinking of hosting sports video files on my cycling teams website, for sports other than cycling. Is this a bad idea? (I'll have cycling ones too obviously )It would certainly open up my site for more hits (cycling sites generally attract low numbers) but I wasn't sure if this would harm (or improve) my SE positioning?Number of hits.I would rather have zero backlinks, zero pr, and terrible serps but have 100,000 hits a day than the other way round.Hits is what it's all about, isn't it?meman wrote:Well what good is great PR and huge amount of backlinks if it dosn't result in visitors?Ultimatly visitors/sales is what you are after, isn't it?More visitors == more clicks on ads, that's what.Backlinks don't mean a thing if nobody's actually visiting the site. I've got pages on sites with very few backlinks hitting #1 spots for their respective keywords.Like meman says, the ultimate goal of you site is to get as much traffic at once.100,000 page views per day is going to create you a lot of content if you have interactive sections of your forum that users can contribute to (forum, comments on news articles, reviews, etc).That will get picked up by search engines and ultimately give you even more content & SE referrals, more posts, more visitors, more ads being clicked on. lionking wrote:[fantastic]Axe is[/fantastic]Axe - thank you so much for your detailed response. I'm sure I will have 100.000 hits in one day in no time at all (note , substituted out for a . there ) i prefer both. it would be better if you would grow your links at steady rate. both inbound links and hits are important factors in seo.draganta wrote:
