The Swog Blog

The only way is up someone or other sang (rather painfully) in the late 80s and that seems to be the way for my portfolio’s traffic figures.  This month, I tightened the criteria for inclusion in the monthly traffic tally.  Essentially, the criteria are two-fold:  i)  the site should not be a trash site (like proxies etc.), and ii) the sites should get at least 1000 page views per month.  

Also, I parked about 20 domains at sedo.com this month to see how that pays and the preliminary results seem to be quite good. 

With these rules in place, there seems to be an apparent drop in traffic for April, due largely to the reasons mentioned above.  Aggregated page views come in at 589055.  However, most of the better sites did see small traffic gains.  And this blog registered a 70% increase in traffic.

This month, May, will be a big month as I plan on acquiring several additional sites and beginning a significant promotional campaign on a good number of sites.  I am very much hoping these efforts will begin to show in the May traffic figures.
