Thanks Kathleen for the words of wisdom.  Anonymous hits do have their place but as you say is not as affective as word-of-mouth advertising.  Becoming known in networking sites like AdlandPro and orthers and getting your link posted to these sites bring better quality prospects to your site than just a bunch of anonymous hits. 

I have learned also that posting sporadicly will not bring satisfactory results either.  Consistancy is the key.  Posting to forms and blogs need to be a daily activity not just hit and miss.  (That advice I am giving more to myself than to others LOL.)

Thanks again for your post.  Now I need to go practice what I preach :-)
