    Bumping threads distorts the fabric of space and time as well as confusing us poor unpaid volunteers that provide most of the help in the forum and can also irritate those that would otherwise help you.

    The average help reply time in forums is around 24 or more hours – since most of us are your fellow bloggers and have real jobs we help when we can. Also we have different areas that we are good at and other areas that we are not so good at or would provide you with an incomplete answer – searching the forum also helps as your “how to get more traffic” is one of the most ask questions.

    Timethief is the master on how to get more traffic so I left your other question for her as her answer is great – so you have at least three choices – 1) yell at me for not answering 2) wait for timethief to see your original question (or someone else with the traffic building background and patience to type out two pages on how to build traffic or 3) look back in the forum for some of the answers from timethief on traffic or visit her blog (click on her name) 4) -??

    Patience in the forum is a virtue as helpers are scattered all over the world and so sometimes you need to wait for one of the masters to wake up or get off their day job.
