How my site traffic climbed to 35,459 monthly unique visits

Great info, thanks for sharing

 

Nice write-up mate, and congratulations for the big traffic.

Sure some people have learned a lot

 

Very well written and it will be super helpful. Thanks a ton!

 

Great article Thanks Game Producer

 

Awesome and congratulations on hitting your targets! I hope you strive to cross the 1500+ daily mark soon. I have signed up to your newsletter. Thank you for sharing.

 

hey,

i have some questions,
how did u managed to get traffic only from Canada, US, UK and Australia, with the amount of traffic you have i would expect the traffic to come from all around the world, plus 54% of your traffic comes from search engines, can you provide further tips (about SEO) to get to the point you are right now?

Currently steady 1100+, will hopefully reach that mark soon

Not sure how much that newsletter will benefit you (as it's mainly for game developers), but hopefully it will

Well, I hang out in places were US/UK people hang out Game developer scene is probably more active in those areas, than in other parts of the world.

Well, here's couple of threads (I started) you might want to check out:

Congratulations on your success. I also like experimenting to improve my sites' traffic. Thanks and good luck!

 

Really gr8 and motivating tips dude. U've inspired most of us. Thanks a lot for u. Wishing u good luck for ur target!!

 

with in how many months you managed to get this much traffic? Its hard to get in a month or two

 

Thanks guys.

Well, I have some pics at my website which can get you some idea. You can also compare the dates when I started this thread and when I wrote this traffic post.

 

Thanks for the helpful post.

 

you should write ebook about it

 

Hmm... perhaps. What you'd like to know?

 

Nice work GP

I really like how you are approaching this and if you continue to work at it you will continue to succeed.

Instead of just looking for short cuts to get quick traffic you are experimenting more thoroughly which is paying off - you are also doing something which so many people miss - thinking about how to make your website better for readers (e.g the group interviews). People put up crap and expect traffic - it rarely works like that.

Also like your point about controvertial topics - it is a very good method which I've used successfully before. When I gave the advice of having the opposite opinion on a popular topic to get traffic people called me an idiot - but it really does work if you can back up your opinions with a solid argument.

 

Good post. A well written article with loads of info. Thank you for sharing

 

Nice tips man, I am not a good writer but I will try to "implement" some of your techniques!

 

Thanks for the update. Sounds like things are going well for you. I am curious though about social bookmarking. Our target audience are 50-60 year old men for our main products. Is sb geared more for the younger folks. Just wondering if its a good medium for us or not. Any input appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yep, correct. The "Big Ugly Secret" I have is that I enjoy doing this. And when that happens... rest is quite easy.

That's pretty much it.

I suppose it's for younger audience - on average. But I've seen more not-so-young-anymore-people logging in messenger, using discussion forums, having facebook accounts... so I think it could be an option. I suppose it also depends on your niche.

Perhaps you should test it?
