"The Marketing Challenge 20'000 extra uniques in a month whose in, Come on "

How do you determine how many 'unique visitors' you are getting?

 

Let's do this. I will be:

Press Releasing
Stumbling
Digging
Article Submitting
Praying?

I launched a month and a half ago and had 625 uniques in April. Needless to say, I have some work to do

 

Your server should tell you how many uniques you have.

 

In Cpanel on your hosting go to stats and then awstats will tell you how many uniques

 

seems like a good idea
stumbleupon group would be good

i have http://www.blogspassage.com
a blog directory with currently 0 backlinks and 0 traffic
which i will use for this challenge

 

Wow this is amazing, i have a new site, I will be watching this thread closely to see how you guys go hopefully can utilize some ideas i learn here

 

Definitely post the one that are working and the ones that should be avoided.

 

500 uniques today from forum posts,digg, and stumbles

 

Ok today I'm going to write a few articles and submit to list of 200 article directories.

Then I'm going some myspace marketing by adding friends and listing on bulletin boards.

Also start an adwords campaign using long tail keywords

 

Wiuth the right info stumble and digg can bring you that amt in a day!

 

Well why not enter challenge and tell us all how you did it.

 

So for the past week I've been seeing ~500 uniques/day with about 5 new members a day too. I'm wondering if theres a way to increase membership enrollment? Anyone have any tried and true methods? I dont want to prevent guests from reading the content, btw.

 

You don't have to stop guests from viewing your primary content, but you can always offer "special" content for registered members. For example, I run a writers forum. While discussions are open for everyone to see, the marketplace (where they can advertise services and view writers markets) is set for members only. It's helped, without hurting basic discussion areas. Just find a special feature relevant to your niche (maybe free e-book downloads or something).

 

jhmattern is right give incentives to members.

 

Ok my weekend up. Via Adbrite advertising campaign which I have been trying over the weekend, I have managed to bring another 1400 uniques in two days not enough to get 20'000 yet but I'm getting there.

 

Ok its half way for this challenge here are my current uniques: 13'762

I have done a blog post about what I'm doing to get my traffic in this challenge: Blog Challenge

I have had about 100 odd emails from people telling me they are taking up the challenge, I'd love to hear how everyone else is going at the challenge

 

I will use my own script, searchit1.com and get 20k in a week.
The challange is on!

 

Nice keep the news coming in on how you are going

 

i dont exactly get this !

 

It's basically a challenge where you try to get 20'ooo uniques to your site, and share with us how you do it.

So every can improve marketing there site, that way everyone benefits
