The petition traffic is based on how the petition authors (you) link to the petition -- not on the cross-talk between petitions, or the link from the Legal Service India - Petition pages.

Once your petition is actually live here on the web, we recommend you put some energy into spreading the word. The concept is simple: the more people you can send to read your petition, the more people will sign it and thus contribute to your cause.

In addition to promoting your petition on your own web pages, ideas for encouraging visitors to your petition include e-mailing a petition announcement to your friends and sympathizers, submitting your petition page to major search engines, promoting the petition in appropriate news groups and online forums, and getting as many good incoming links connected to your petition as possible. Consider contacting the traditional media press as well, locally or nationally, as appropriate.

To support your primary petition promotion efforts, each person who signs your petition will automatically receive an email message from us to confirm their signature, which also suggests that they take a moment to tell a few friends about your petition.

Note, however, that in helping to promote this petition you are expressly prohibited from sending unsolicited bulk mail messages ("junk mail" or "spam"), and from engaging in any form of online harassment. This includes, but is not limited to, bulk-mailing of commercial advertising, information announcements, and political tracts. Such material may only be sent to those who have specifically requested it. Actions to enforce these good citizenship policies may include petition cancellations.

If your petition is a good one, with support among visitors, lots of traffic will lead to lots of signatures. And that's the whole point!
