Traffic Increase Update
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.

I’m a little disturbed about Stumbling yourself. The whole attraction of Stumbleupon is that it allows you to discover new sites that other people find interesting. If site owners Stumble their own sites, then that function is perverted. Instead of finding sites that other web visitors find interesting, you will basically find sites that site owners are trying to promote to you. In the end, Stumbleupon’s usefulness and popularity will suffer if site owners simply exploit it for self promotion. That’s why I’ve always refrained from Stumbling myself, even though it might be a cheap and easy way to drum up traffic. At any rate, having read this, I will definitely be staying away from Stumbleupon in future.

it is really hard to build massive traffic on a website. you need to promote your website by blog commenting or PPC advertising’.*
