June 2010 Traffic Stats & Blog Posts Of The Week 17 
Posted by Udegbunam Chukwudi on July - 2 - 2010
We finally step into the month of July and boy am I glad ’cause it means 7 months to go for NYSC 
. The only thing I ain’t so happy about is my traffic stats.
After being a few visitors close to 3,000 uniques in the month of May 2010, I was really hoping that June 2010 would mark my passing the 3,000 absolute unique visitors mark but alas I installed a Google Analytic plug-in for wordpress with a bad configuration and that saw me losing stats for like 4 days before it was detected.
Now I sit back awaiting Google’s Toolbar PR update and hoping that the month of July will see me accomplishing my current goal of 3,000 absolutely unique visitors
Being that I suffer a tinge of paranoia , I’ve many times envisioned my online enemies trying to ruin me blog via spammy links but after reading RandFish’s What if My Competitors Point Spammy Links to My Site?, I’m happy to say that I feel a lot less paranoid.
To monitor spammy links pointing to our sites, I highly recommend learning to setup Google Alerts which is one of Google’s top 10 products for bloggers.
My decision to explore the possible advantages of tags in search engine ranking has led me to discover another great plug-in by Michelle Marucucci of the Nofollow Free plug-in. Tags4Pages as the plug-in is called, has enabled me to add tags to my pages and I’m looking forward to what that might do to my search engine rankings.
How To Move The Core WordPress Files Of Your Blog to a Custom Directory is another great tutorial from Ampercent that shows you how to secure your wordpress blog a lil’ bit more from potential hackers. The only problem with it is that one can still detect where you moved your wordpress files to simply by looking @ the source of your web pages.
Finally if you are one of those huge fans of pay-to-click sites, you might want to avoid RichPTC as Dean Saliba of I Need Discipline isn’t smiling @ all, months after joining them. Please read Keep Away From RichPTC.
Take care fellas and here’s wishing my American readers, Happy 4th July and my upcoming fellow corps members a fun-filled 3 weeks stay on camp.
Les quiero mucho!

it seems a lot of us are excited for the next PR update
It’s sure that you’ll pass through that 3000 unique visitors mark this time. anyway, great round up for the month, I’m kind of excited to do mine in the next few months. cheers to your success Udegbunam!
Regards,
Jason
Thanks man
I wish you the same.
Hi Udegbunam. That had to scare you with having near zero visits for 4 days according to GA
As far as RichPTC is concerned, I have not heard anything good about them.. it’s probably a good thing to start warning people about them.
Believe me you, I was scared that Google had penalized me until I saw that the analytics configuration was the issue.
The PR update took me completely by surprise. But I’m quite pleased with what it delivered.
My traffic and income are taking some nose dives these days but that is what happens when you spend more time chasing love than trying to work.
The PR update is either yet to get to my site or my site has been left with the same PR
.
My traffic has been behaving ever since Google quit crawling my site for like a week. (I noticed Webmasters Tool had stopped updating until this morning). Now that Google is back to crawling my site again, I’m hoping the traffic will jump up again.
At least you’re getting love in return for dwindling traffic and income. I’m getting nothing in return. lol
I have experienced the same with analytics on my blogspot blog for about 1 week because I had forgotten to put the code after changing the theme.And the blog with which I am commenting is new with very low traffic.
About RichPTC, I have read in a myLot discussion that it is a scam.Well, not sure because I only use neobux.
I’ve been seeing Neobux Google banner ads around the web. I hope you’re having a nice experience with them. I also noticed that your blog is new but it’s got potential so keep working @ it
.
P.S: I kind of noticed that there’s this trend with Indians blogging about technology. What’s the hype surrounding this niche for you guys?
Haha! If there is any such trend, then the reason…well…maybe because we Indians want all the latest products as soon as they get launched, but unfortunately there’s huge time gap between the product launching in European and American countries and then launching in the Asian countries.That’s why the tech crazy people like me can only blog about them until they get launched in our country. Huh!Silly reason
The Asian continent ain’t alone. New technology does take time to get to Africa as well and the funny thing is that they’ve got quite a huge consumer base over here yet they delay in releasing products here eg Nokia.
Thanks for letting us on your traffic report, for a new blog owner like me, getting 100 unique visitors per month is actually a dream for me!
And concerning RichPTC, like I told Dean, making money from PTC sites should actually be checked in the BBO sites for reliable and paying ones!
Please how do I read stats from my blog using the google analytics
It took me time but I go there eventually and so can every other blogger
Here’s a great post/tutorial on How to Use Google Analytics for Beginners. Enjoy
When I look at your traffic report I cannot but be astonished and amazed.
2,791 – this sounds soooo huge.
I admire your work.
Thanks. I’m a work in progress
Thanks and heading over there now!
So, what’s your secret to traffic generation – those numbers are really impressive to me. Just curious – maybe you’ve posted about that?
Or email me if you’d rather not divulge – thanks.
My traffic generation tips are probably the same as every Tom, Dick and Harry’s.
1. Keep blog updated 3 times a week same day same time.
2. Comment on blogs in my niche and others. A good bunch of them of them Dofollow blogs.
3. SEO past posts based on keywords that are driving traffic to them.
4. Share your posts on Twitter and Facebook
Basically me thinks that after 1 year and 4 months of being online, Google now sees my site as probably being trustworthy thus the gradual increase in traffic.
Seriously James, I ain’t doing anything extraordinary @ all
If I tell you the last comment by Admin worked for one of which is not a make money online blog, I made some post and aggressively commented on some blogs and forums related to it, and in just one month my google analytics, it wasn’t much but I was surprised to even see anybody visiting that blog, I think I just have to do more!
Good to know that my tips worked for you. Just keep working @ it with loads of patience
