the power of posting on your blog
Posted on | March 10, 2009 | 2 Comments
This week, we have proof that posting on your blog drives traffic. I was quiet recently for a couple of weeks and traffic did this:
Snapshot of March
As you can see, traffic was very low in the weeks were I posted nothing, and then shot up again when I posted something and shared it on my facebook profile and my twitter account. Lesson learned: I post, traffic goes up!
I’d like to underscore this by stating that one of our clients, a B2B business, started a blog and saw their traffic go up 80%. How about them apples?
In other news, traffic from facebook will soon outpace direct traffic (i.e. people who typed the url in, mostly because I forced them to).
I’ve had 4 visitors from organic search. Keywords include: “Health information about cats,” Advertising with vapour trails, Vapour Trail Gallery, and affordable SEO.
I’ve only had three visitors from Twitter! Perhaps my twitter friends ignore me because I post so rarely – Like the blog, you gotta tweet to be heard!

I find the same thing. My blog is nearly 2 months old but too young to get much traction in search so when I blog and pass around the link, traffic goes up. Don’t forget, with Twitter you could use Hoot Suite or Twuffer to re-tweet your links. Because so much happens on Twitter these days, people may not go through everyone’s tweets and just look at what’s in front of them.

Aw, Jeez, Mark, I think your blog’s getting a lot more buzz than mine is – I loved the “words to banish” post.
