Building Site Traffic

Drupal 6, CCK fields.

I have on my server the capability to, from the command line, capture a screenshot of any web address, manipulate the image using imagemagick and then save the resulting image/images to a directory.

I need a module that will, during the 'create content' form editing, send a field value, on advancement to the next field, to a script (provided on the server by me) and at the same time un-hide a preview window alongside the field with a pretty 'loading' gif (provided by me) and display the subsequent thumbnail image after a predetermined time (5-10 seconds).

Hi all!

We are looking for speakers for the upcoming DrupalCon in Boston. Since you are subscribed to the Building Site Traffic group, you might be especially interested in the "Business and Marketing" track (see http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/business-and-marketing-track-description... ).

This track covers the following topics:

• The Drupal ecosystem
• Businesses learning to use Drupal
• Case studies
• Showcases: NPO, Education, News, Media, Government, Healthcare

Yesterday I downloaded and played with the Drigg module. Among its features is an option to let a privileged role submit content as a different user. The list of spoof users is also an administration option. The motivation for this is clear... it lets a handful of people easily make a site look like a bustling community. This is great for jumpstarting your Drigg site (which is designed to be a Digg clone), but how ethical is it?

I've found one thing that works very well, if you are a programmer: create small/simple utilities and give them away on your site.

I've found no better way (short of buying ads) of generating massive site traffic. I've put several free Windows utilities on my site, one of them caught on in January of 2006 - mentioned on digg.com, lifehacker.com, and dailycupoftech.com, to name but a few. This single item is now responsible for much of the traffic to my main corporate site right now (I'm taking steps to increase traffic to the other content, organically, so it'll take time.)

I've found MyBlogLog to be a useful tool for promoting a site and gaining new sources of site visitors.

I've created a MyBlogLog module to simplify the task of adding MyBlogLog support to a Drupal-based site. You can check it out here:

If you have any experience with MyBlogLog and building site traffic, let's talk about it here!

I've had some success in building traffic by using the Ping module (and more recently, the multiping module (more info here).

I have the multiping module configured to ping ping-o-matic and technorati. I've seen some new traffic coming in from those sites, but it's not growing very quickly. So, I'm trying to figure out how to get people's attention on those kinds of sites.

Currently, when you use a URL path alias to an existing node, and later decide to change the URL alias, the old path 'breaks' - so, if you have an older page that has inbound links from, say, Google search or some web directory, people will get a 404 error - not good for SEO or building traffic, in my experience.
