i chack the website logs and some users even search for a /admin or /wp-admin its funny.
i also chack the ip of visitors, and alot were from vpn services, which most users dont use and i got a couple hundreds. i used google facebook and others, and they all cheat.
on facebook its easy to spot a fake user liking everything and other bot behaviors. i know i wrote a few bots (also for facebook). i know how seo and how web spiders work i dont count these visits as fake, the server analytics softwere also writes its a google spider bot.
trust me when i say they cheat. its the easiest money and fastest money. send bot trafic and get money for it. real trafic somtimes take too much time, the advertising service want to finish your campaign fast (they give you tools to track it and your hosting also gives you analytics they have to send somthing=bots, most people dont understand this).
about making a tut website, do you know the competition? this will take at least a year to rank on search engine (google), and thats only if its popular...so how do i get the users without advertising? you put a wall in front of me, paid ads are cheating.
"make a youtube vid" again competition , you wont get more then 30 views in a few months(organically), no matter what is your content and how good you are. most people searching for java tuts only go for the ranked first results. and again to rank you need trafic. its the chicken and the egg paradox.
if i had an advertiser that gave me any results i would drop 1000$ on him without blinking. and im not even talking about roi.
and im not nasty. if i were a computer science student i would want a free lesson, if the teacher is good i would use him again paid, if not,thers no risk you didnt lose money (free lesson) . people spend thousands on a degree per year, they dont do this to fail, i solved assignments from all around the world, i know what a beginner needs to learn. i wish i had somone to help me like that when i started. and thats not even all the value i can give.
so where do you find students online if not at a forum or on facebook? thers alot of demand for this, why only a handfull of instructors featured by tutor website get all the students? its not fair the internet dictators suck (google,facebook,amazon,microsoft). and you help them by deleting every ad you come by relevant or not, and you do this for free and they profit.
