New sites and traffic growth
With May now neatly parcelled up and shelved away in the cupboard of history, I can add to my previous post about new sites and traffic growth.
First, the blogs. I started three new blogs about 6 months ago. I have performed only minimal promotional work on all of them, so the increases in traffic are largely organic.
Blog one is a current affairs and news blog. In May, it received about 2300 unique visitors and the traffic growth since Wordpress was installed is shown in the graph below:
Blog two is a health related blog and it too has enjoyed substantial growth over the last few months. In May, it welcomed 850 unique viewers and the traffic growth is indicated in the graph below:
The third blog is about living overseas and likewise has continued to show good gains in traffic over the same period, show below. In May, this blog received 1800 unique visitors. This blog has attracted a small community of regular readers and commenters. I replied to commenters on a largely quid pro quo basis. This reciprocal commenting comprises the extent of this blog’s promotional work, and has brought in additional traffic.
Inarguably, the key to the blogs’ traffic growth has been a strict regimen of daily posting of original material. Although most bloggers will see this as a given, I am interested to see how long such linear traffic growth can be sustained on the basis of content only. Early indications are that June’s traffic should uphold the linear trend with an increase of between 5% to 15% on these blogs.

Hi Jage,
No as I mention above, the traffic stats relate to a set of three blogs I have been using as somewhat of a test set for SEO activity. One is a health blog, one a political blog and the last an expat blog.
