I have pasted our stats since July of last year, we have some good months and bad months. I attribute our traffic to being around for 10 years along with our advertising. We have street crew members in SLC, Seattle, Portland, NYC, and we also travel to Louisana, San Francisco and Las Vegas. The cheapest way of advertising is pasting bills and stencils plus stickers.
Paste is good since a lot of people don't understand what it is and they try the wrong shit to get it off. Plus it costs around 2 dollars to make a fat bucket of it. (2 gallons I think)
Stickers, you can get cheap vinly stickers from a couple of places, also I suggest crack and peel stickers too. Those are those paper stickers, but throw them on glass and news stand covers and they are a bitch to get off.
Spray paint: Another cost effective way to advertise. You can make
stencils and bomb shit quick. Plus you can go as
big as you want...
These are just a few common methods to use for your street crew. Keep in mind vandalism is bad, so um... make sure you own the property you are destroying.
Another thing is go out a lot, network - get a lot of locals at bars and clubs involved. Currently we have 36,890 photos in our gallery... how this helps is you get a lot of people that want to see them selves on the internet. The more popular you get the more people want to get naked for you and the more they tell their friends, etc. Word of mouth is our biggest form of advertising and
the proof is in the pudding.
Hope this helps a little, for those of you that have messaged me or e-mailed me recently I will get back to you soon - I have been dealing with some shit as of late.

P.S. If you have your own domain you can watch your rank on
alexa.com, the smaller the number the higher your rank. This is calculated by search engines, etc. As far as that jackass top 100 shit goes, fuck pop ups and banners. We have never had them, sure I am broke as fuck - but I gots no ugly ads that I traded my soul for a couple extra links.
