Just wanted to thank you all for the marketing info you provide, free directories I can submit to, etc, etc, etc My blog hit 10,000 uniques last month and I have to say that Im pretty happy with myself! But you guys are the ones responsible! SO THANKS! Aiming for 15k this month. Its a stretch, but Im gonna try.
Congrats! I too have learned a lot from reading this forum. I wish I would have found it a few years ago.
Congrats man! 10k is a good number. Try to provide even more value and build backlinks from authority sites and you will be very successful. Good luck!
No real marketing. I submit to loads of directories and have had a few stories Dugg. Have bought a few cheap links on word cloud sites and done a few link exchanges. Some of my blogroll exchanges have come from sites that have high 'authority' rankings There a few posts with 'babes' on them. You know what they say, "Chicks get clicks" I also ping every post to a heap of services. I just posted my list of ping services here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=3651660
Uniques, is that the column labelled 'sites'? Well done anyway, I should take a note of your techniques. I hadn't realised word cloud sites were up to much.
Congratulations! By the way, have you considered setting up Google Analytics to see more information about your visitors?
I did have analytics setup, but it doesnt really do anything for me. I find the site terrible to navigate and use. It is a great tool, dont get me wrong. I use Counterize II which is added to my admin panel. Simple wordpress plugin that provides me all the data I need, plus webalizer works for me too.
Congrats! Not trying to steal your thunder or anything, but have you considered installing a better stats tracker than AWStats? I know on proxy sites at least it never gives accurate readings. Sometimes inflated by 10x. Like an above poster has mentioned google analytics is pretty damn good. I use it to help track my adwords too. Best of luck!
LunarPages are my host and they dont have AWStats. On the lunarpages forum, users are asking for it but LunarPages say its a huge resource hog. I would like to see Lunarpages introduce it though. errrrrrrrr..............?
