Raising Feasible Traffic in a month or two
Many of us here at Indiblogger are searching ways to build up traffic to our blog. We think that just building community or links may let us reach or goal. After commenting into forums, it feels good that we have made some contribution to the group and it 'might' follow up. But after few days or more, we realize that nothing much happened and we are still there. In the meanwhile, our posting frequency gets disturbed as we tend to move to community and forums for exposure.
As all the major things say 'Content is the King', it is still the best practice. Posting frequency, content control and simplicity are few facts that will activate your traffic. It however takes a lot of time as these days are now built up for heavier competition and the non-competitive niches are left very few.
Just make a habit of posting 1 or 2 posts daily with informative content to your niche and you will not be disappointed by the Google.
Make sure you have submitted your sitemaps, submitted your site to major search engines and rss feeds to discover your site.
I run a blog Audipage.com on which I posted the content regularly but my posting frequency got altered and the result I got was poor traffic. In the last month, I re tried the things and enhanced the posting which is now getting me what I wanted.
The blogger who writes short stories or pens poems, will your suggestion to post two blogposts per day be applicable to him? So what such blogger should do? :-(
I agree here, not all type of blogs can take this advice.. Poet cant write that much..
Such blogger should post 1-2 articles plus he has to create a fan base to get the traffic....
Amit, can you please repeat your suggested frequency of posting?
i guess rabindra nath tegore him self didnt post (i mean write) this much
certainly He didn't
@Amit..
I agree with you in following,
- Content is the king
- If blog has quality content, it will always have traffic..
- Site Map and masic SEO friendly write up is required..
I disagree on following,
- More and more content, rather I prefer quality over quantity
Check my stats..
No, i didn't post 2 article a day, rather I posted may be 2 article a week on average but I concentrated on materiel of the posts and spent a lot of time compiling and providing as much detailed and authenticated information possible for my niche. Ohh yes, my traffic grew while posting handful of article too
Web site (load speed and performance) has slowed down a lot :( , feels really slow now a days..
The degrading performance is an indication of the increasing popularity of your site. You should be happy for that.
not really, i have been reading a lot to see if anything cant be done from my end, but I guess I am stuck, options are like switch to simple theme to reduce number of requests and load as static as possible, or improve server performance..
I am pretty disappointed that even after spending USD 10 a month, I am getting a low and slow hosting
you are rocking dude!
would you mind elaborating how to get that tabulated stats?
The screenshot is of some analytics application provided by his host.
@Ranjith..
Every mordern host has it.. Infact its the most common and famous script to process raw server access logs in reader and viewable format..
http://awstats.sourceforge.net/
I think you are hosted with BigRock.in, check in your cPanel, you too will have it :D
@AS..
blogspot wont give you the option for these
After seeing Hunky's stats, I am feeling depressed.
@Pankti..
Want to trade ??
My blogspot custom domain is registered with BigRock. Hosting for the Java site is with hostgator and it is unmanaged VPS. I need to do everything on my own. So, I would like to be stay with GA rather than install some other thing!
@Ranjith..
Which VPS plan did you take ?? Secondly, you can easily install AW i guess..
Level 1
Anyway, I don't want any additional stats now. Let me first get some traffic.
@Ranjith..
384 MB, is it enough ?? and which website you have put on VPS ?? that Java one ??
I agree that 384 MB is too little RAM and that the reason why my site takes too much time to load but I can't afford more.
Before buying the hosting, I never thought about memory. I looked only at bandwidth and space. I realised the importance of memory only after I experienced problems running Java. So, using php for the time being.
Yes, the Java website is running on that VPS.
Running php with lower amount of traffic that too in a self made web script with VPS is waste of money i suppose.. but there should be a guide as how to identify when is the time for a website to switch from these general shared hosts and look for VPS and there too, how much ram to start with
I guess for WordPress 384 is enough ??
I tested with Google PageSpeed and GTmatrix.. your domain scores really good.. shows what vps can do..
I know it's waste of money and I'm used to it. The VPS was unused for two months and I uploaded the site just two weeks back.
I never found those guides interesting.
Anyway, I expect my sites ( the current Java site and few other serious sites ) to start giving returns in a year or two.
I think 384 MB is enough for wordpress. I created a sample wordpress site on another domain for trying out things and it was working fine.
your domain scores really good
I think it's my internet connection which is slow.
WordPress clean installation works good in any shared hosting too, but as the load increases with more and more plug in, as the db gets more and more hits, it starts to slow down, check mine, its now a days really slow
Night hours are the free time for my blog's traffic there I check, page loads faster..
I find measurements hard - measurement of length, area, volume - and even page speed. I really can't tell whether a site is fats or slow!
