Personally, I can’t stand infolinks. Lots of sites have them, though.
Accidentally pass your mouse over a link and you get a popup. Most of the time it swiftly goes away, but if it gets stuck, you can’t read the content.

After 10 months, my website is getting 100+ visitors per day. Majority of that traffic is from search engine, the rest from comments and forum. The niche itself was the key, followed by content. Recently, I am getting increasing visits via the comments on other blogs, as well as social media.

On my personal blog I voted for the 51-200 range, seems to be the more popular option too right now for the poll. I think with the tips you outlined, I could surely get into the next number bracket over time. The main thing I try to focus on my personal blog is Fresh and Consistent Content I feel that has been the most rewarding for me.

Till then,

I am currently getting 300-350 unique visitors a day, but am hoping to push that to 500 in the near future. A lot of it will have to do with being active in my niche.

Bjorn, if you can wait a few days – I’ll post some thoughts regarding StumbleUpon traffic, and how to generate traffic using that particular networking site.

Briefcases,
Great thoughts. And you’re certainly right. A proper marketing approach is crucial to any blog’s success. As for Infolinks, I haven’t heard much of a response from the public pro or con regarding this form of advertising. I enjoyed your thoughts though. What I’ve been doing is some personal testing & research of Kontera vs Infolinks, in order to write a proper post as to which is superior. Thus far the results have been rather interesting!

I definitely agree with your suggestions, especially about not overloading a blog with ads. That is why I am surprised that your blog has infolinks ads. I doubt these ads make much money and they make for poor readability. To grow a blog you really need to get out there and promote it. It is not enough to just have a quality blog with quality content. You have to help others find it in the first place.

To be honest, I am not familiar with Friendfeed. And as for StumbleUpon, I am on it, but hardly get any traffic from it. How do you use SU to generate traffic if I may ask?

Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed & StumbleUpon are my top social networks. They bring in the most traffic, and allow me to communicate with the most individuals.

Nick, great thoughts. And thank you for sharing with us. There really is a juggling act balance of visitors blogs go through as new content is posted – like you mention. Users certainly increase when new content is delivered. What’s important is that those new visitors are harnessed upon first visiting – and converting them into long lasting, loyal readers. Great work – and much success to your blog!

Bjorn, social media is certainly a large traffic generator for myself too. What social networking platforms work best for you?

I am currently sitting in the ~60-85 unique visitors (not including spiders and bots) per day range. I find that most of my traffic is generated at the time new content is posted.

On Mon-Sat I post between 2-3 stories generating normal traffic numbers, but on Sundays when I take I break it’s down around 15-20. Whenever I post a new story I do a number of different things with it to push traffic:

- Send it to twitter using the “Tweet This” plug-in.
- Post it on my Facebook wall where I have ~660 friends.
- Ping services such as Google, BlogPulse, Bloglovin, and other blog indexes.

Currently the majority of my traffic comes from Facebook but I am slowly seeing an increase in referrals from twitter and Google searches.

I use “StatPress Seolution” as well as Google Webmaster Tools to carefully monitor traffic trends and search rank positions to push content that generates the most traffic.

It is currently a slow process but in the past week I have had about 220 unique visitors and over 1000 page views and for a blog that is less then a month old I couldn’t be happier.

Regards,
Nick
