If this is true: "It is a free public service designed to DO GOOD!" why did you need to drive the visitors to 10K by Jan 1st? I would expect that there is lots of advertising so "public service" isn't true either. (No, I don't pretend that my site is a public service..though the google ads barely pay for the ISP usage). I'd go to your site to find out, but I don't want ot condone this sort of behavior on lists that I am part of.

I have a goal to get 10,000 new visitors by Jan 01/06. At the time I had only 6,000. With just 2 months to my deadline I had to do something to drive the traffic quickly. So I posted a message to some mail lists! SE optimization brings steady flow of surfers but I needed a huge boost fast! I reasoned that 100 % of all mail list members use a computer connected to Internet Services and therefore would benefit from the information contained on my website! I regret such action because now my web page has been disconnected from the Net! Several hundreds of people use my website habitually! It is a free public service designed to DO GOOD! I feel my site should remain connected. There is information directly on my site not available elsewhere! I realize my actions have upset some people at the letterpress and db2 lists. I did not intend to cause upset! I apologise! And if I upset other mail list members then please forgive me!
