Traffic Increase Update

Posted by Brett on 23rd, 2008

Well I wrote a post complaining about my lack of traffic to my sites. Since then I did a little traffic building campaign for this blog and for one of my other sites. Today I will share the results of that traffic building campaign and the techniques I used.

I wrote that post on the 12th of March. Since then I

  • Attempted to publish a post everyday starting from Monday 17th to 21st of March
  • Stumbled each article after it has been published

In reality I succeeded in publishing a post four days out of the five. This one was actually supposed to be my fifth post to really sum everything up, so I guess in a sense I made it. The results are in and according to Google Analytics; I had 644 unique visitors from 12th March to 21st March (590 visitors coming from StumbleUpon). This is quite an improvement from the 32 unique visitors I had up to 11th March (a 2012.5% increase to be exact). There is also increased activity in my rss feeds as well as comments to my posts.

So that’s all I did to increase traffic at this point. I will continue this practice as well as try other traffic building techniques and will continue to update you as I go along.

Hope you enjoyed the post. Thanks for reading.

Traffic goals: changing the light from red to green

Posted by Brett on 12th, 2008

Traffic lightsI, like most green webmasters am addicted to viewing traffic stats. I find myself spending quite a bit of time checking stats on every service I have running, especially on google analytics. My traffic has completely died down, from my little StumbleUpon campaign for one of my sites, and for the period March 1st to 11th I have had 32 visits, 18 being unique visitors. Obviously something needs to be done here as I have gone from an average of 40 to 50 unique visitors a day to roughly 1.8. This blog is doing a little better actually. For the same period google analytics reports 47 visits, 32 being unique.

So lets make some improvements here; I will devote the rest of the month to doing intense traffic building techniques. I intend to write posts describing the different techniques I use and be able to show their effectiveness as results (if any) begin to show. As a starting point I will do some Search Engine Optimization, especially for this blog as well as some more social network marketing. Keep reading as I keep you updated as things progress

Thanks for reading and Thanks to all 47 visitors so far this month, I really appreciate it.
