October 2008 Results

By Darren On November 1, 2008 Under Statistics

Looking back on September’s review, I can see that I was fairly negative towards this blog and the results I was getting.  This is because September brought in just 317 hits with 158 unique visitors.  October has been slightly better with 172 unique visitors viewing a total of 502 pages.  That’s 2.92 pages per visitor.

Again, it seems to be the do-follow community that is bringing the most traffic to my site with Nicusor Do-Follow List and Tucsan SEO Solutions Do-Follow Internet Marketing Blogs.

Having signed up for Twitter this month, I have begun posting there and currently have 7 followers on Twitter, along with 11 RSS Subscribers, so hello to you guys!  Over the month my site has stayed at a Google PageRank of 2 and an Alexa ranking of 376,417 has now been achieved.  Although this is an improvement, I am beginning to see a diminishing importance of PageRank throughout the blogging community with many people no longer focusing on their rankings in this way.

I started off my series of posts regarding WordPress plugins and I intend to carry this on.  If you feel you know of a plugin that is worth a mention then let me know in the comments.

I was interested to see that you keep track of your site in this manner. Are you trying to monetize your blog? If not, what is the purpose of keeping track like this?

Thanks for the comment Jerry. My belief is that until the blog becomes popular enough to benefit from the income from advertising then the focus should be on building the traffic and solid readership as opposed to spending time monetising those few visitors.

If you keep on posting great content then people will come. It’s tough to beat out the millions of other bloggers but your right I wouldn’t worry too much about page rank I would focus all my energy in making people like myself comeback and read whats going on.
