Glad to see you!

Thanks for sharing what happened to you. I would have never thought that you considered quitting. Aren’t you glad you stuck with it?

Your tips are very helpful. I don’t think I’ve ever thought about writing lasting information, now that will be something, I will always keep in mind when I write future posts.

Take care,

Evelyn

Honestly, when I fell 60% for 2 months going from 1000 visits per day to 200 per day from June/Aug 2010 I almost thought about quitting. I did some research and found it was relating to testing a new SEO plugin at the time and once I put the AIO SEO Pack back all my traffic came back.

Trends and patterns also cause traffic shifts, my writer wrote Pottermore articles in July/August 2011 that brought over 100,000 visits to my site in the same month, then the traffic faded as the trends became less potent and I slid back to 60k visits per month, this is a 40% drop in traffic but the traffic spikes were to specific articles.

Traffic ebbs and flows, know what patterns produce and try to keep bringing readers interest, finding new things to write about and creating posts with long term traffic building are important. Writing about recent trends that won’t have lasting information 6 months or 12 months from now are guaranteed to bring traffic loss, try to write for near permanency, write articles that solve problems or provide insights that people searching for it will find beneficial 1 year from now, not just at this very moment. I take this approach to as many posts as possible now, while still trying to capture short term trends.

That’s great that you’ve been seeing the benefits of guest posting.

You’re so right about pacing ourselves. We can easily get burned out, so pacing ourselves is a must.

Thanks for stopping by!

Great Tips here!

Yes, you are right. It is important to be consistent with blog posting and at the same time diversify our traffic sources through guest blogging, networking and commenting. I have been spending a lot of time on guest posting these days. And I am seeing the benefits – getting good traffic even though it is just a new blog. I think the most important thing to do is to pace ourselves and distribute our efforts over time (over many sources) so that we will get the most out of our blog posts.

Anyways, thanks for the tips,

Jeevan Jacob John

Its really good to hear from you again.
Yes, one need to do a lot of things after publishing the posts. The points mentioned here are worth doing.
I think, posting positive and worth comments in other
blogs attracts traffic to the blogs, promoting tru social web sites are a vital part of it. No doubt it brings good traffic in the course of time. of course you need to have a good circle in these sites.
Thanks for sharing
Best regards
Phil
