Site visitors
Based on the above, you will see that the most significant increase has been in the number of visitors to the site. My success in this regard I can attribute to making relevant and insightful comments on various blogs, sites and forums, as opposed to what a lot of people do: spamming a forum with their links without really making a contribution to the discussion at hand.
Surprisingly, I would discount the influence of Facebook and Youtube, since I’m hardly active on Facebook and not even registered with Youtube. Twitter I’ve only recently joined as you can see from an earlier blog post, and I’ve not even made a tweet yet!
I’m sure though that these sites and social networking sites in general, have plenty to offer, by way of generating traffic and driving it to your site, the idea is to show that there are plenty other ways of achieving the same!
Page views
The increase in page views is a logical outcome of the increase in site visitors. I’m almost sorry I downloaded the stats today, instead of waiting for another week – I would’ve definitely achieved another target…only 50 views away!
Blog Rank
I’m very pleased with the blog rank movement in both Africa (up 691 positions) and South Africa
I achieved this in the space of 2 months in my spare time (which there isn’t much of) and didn’t pay a single cent to help me along, instead my increased activity and change in strategy increased my earnings gained from ‘online activity’.
