Hah! what in the world would that many people be doing to end up at my blog you wonder? Yes, well so do I! In fact for the last 3 months the number of visitors has increased by roughly 30% each month. If i break it down, really there is one post responsible for all this traffic: “AGENT” Picolax.
This has taught me two things. Firstly, if you are indeed out to get organic search engine traffic it is vital that you optimize your post with keywords and phrases. Secondly, it’s pretty easy to get traffic if you simply jump on a bandwagon or if you have your finger on the pulse.
The other big traffic magnets were the following, most popular at the top.
the pacific plastic soup
The Luck Factory
carlton draught - skytroop
The true history of Australia - AFL 150
Interestingly enough, The Schweppes: Burst post did not do as well as i would of expected seeing tho it was a very successful ad, even won a Gold Lion at Cannes this year. Obviously this is because i didn’t really SOE my blog post for that particular entry therefore i don’t rank at all well in Google.
Currently i have 5 other blogs running all in different niches and i’m experimenting a bit with “finger on the pulse” style posts. So basically what i am doing is checking the usual places like digg and stumbleupon and trying to mimic the most popular posts. With the picolax post it was a bit of a fluke and seeing tho this blog is one of the only places that forum post is archived it draws quite a bit of traffic. Imagine if that was for something with a few more searches per month! Currently there is only 11,500 results in google and it does not have enough search volume to show graphs in google trends! You can see the potential here.
Mostly the picolax traffic originates from forums, and mostly UK based. What i might do is edit the post to include localized names for the laxative and see what happens!
