“Where did my traffic go?” Case study: Why You Should Blog

August 10th, 2009 by John Leave a reply »

Traffic Analysis - Where did my traffic go 500x118

 

I’ve just got back from vacation in Thailand, where I had to find Internet café to try and keep my Internet Marketing at least moving.

I was able to listen to some of Alex Jeffreys training recordings, but have really been out of the loop. But as Alex says, “you can always turn a negative into a positive”.

The way to get traffic is by providing visitors with useful and relevent information in the blog entries and helping others by posting advice on their sites.

I can actually prove with this mini case study, that as soon as you stop writing posts and helping others, your traffic dries up.

Google Analytics actually shows this happening for the period 3rd August – 8th August.

Now I’m back home, if I start blogging again and help others by posting on their blogs, I will be able to write a second article in a few days time showing traffic coming back to the site.

I’ll keep you posted.

    John,

    My graph looks a lot like yours. I took my family on holidays for 2 weeks, have been home for a week and guess what.

    Leaving tomorrow for another week.

    But I deserve it, I put in the hours this week so I can take next week off, doesn’t really sound fair does it?

      Hi Alvin,

      I’ve downloaded your eBook “Free Traffic for Broke Marketers”, sounds right up my street.

      This blogging strategy may take three months of hard graft, but I can feel this project is going to have a happy ending.

      I’ll give it a few more days and then post an update on my Google Analytics. I’m not expecting a flood of traffic, but it would be nice to prove that blogging can generate traffic.

      Where are you off to next week?

      John

    Hey John,

    What sort of traffic methods are you currently using? Just posting on other people’s blogs and writing blog posts?

    Have you tried to post comments on blogs outside of the Alex Jeffrey’s students blogs? Or article marketing?

    My traffic is still pretty low, too. Most days, on average, about 25 visitors per day. I don’t know whether that’s average for where we are supposed to be right now since our blogs are so new or not.

    What do you think?

    Talk soon,
    Karen
