according to google analytics one of my websites got approximately 120,000 unique visitors in 2006. The things that stand out to me, I got less than 20% of my visitors from Google and Yahoo, less than .05% from MSN. about 60% came from people clicking on links. This is for a site that was launched in october 2005. My secrets: none...when I am promoting my site I always try and get links that will bring me the most traffic and are relevant to my visitors. Links for SEO secondary, I do not get links on the sole basis of PR. Post interesting things about your stats from 2006
I noticed that too. all the time I spent doing and concentrating on SEO. I achieved number 1 for my keyword but links in forums are where more than half of my traffic came from. only 18% from google and yahoo and the rest from digg and squidoo.
oseymour, could you write the website of its traffic? Without knowing website we cannot conclude much...
I don't want to post the domain name....I just want to know what other interesting things DP members saw in their traffic logs in 2006
Depends of domain. For one I had ~44.000 visitors. Approx. 20% from Google, 20% from MSN, 5% other and 50% from links. For second I had ~85.000 visitors, 95% from SE (mainly Google and Yahoo) rest 5% from links. But I don't know what does it mean to anyone?
wawawewa! you guys are good! i got 1000 uniques for one of my arcades that i started 2 months ago. its ok for me update: 50% msn 30% others 20% links
the site I was talking about was about free offers....after looking at all my sites I realized that it differs depending on the site topic...but I remember reading matt cutts blog and he got most of his traffic from links too.
Yeah, some niches probably got links easily and natural for others, people count on SE... for commerce related on AdWords
the site got a lot of hits because people were dogging it and saying how terrible the design and how crappy the site was. It was all done intentionally by me and it worked....
