How Much Traffic Do You Get From Triberr?

by Christian Hollingsworth on June 15, 2011

How much traffic do you get from Triberr? (this is for Benny)

Triberr is a beast.

A good beast that is. It’s breaking down the Iron Curtain, so to speak, and allowing all bloggers to play on equal footing.

After using Triberr for around two months now, I thought I’d take the time to document some of my Triberr statistics – and hopefully use this post as a soundboard of growth for some of you who are beginning to use the Triberr service.

The question of the post is: How much traffic do you get from Triberr?

This post isn’t going to be long, but I felt like it was something useful to be shared.

My Triberr Statistics

728 visits coming from 15 blog posts sent through Triberr.
An average of 50 visitors coming from Triberr for each blog post.
As of June 13th, 2011 I have a Triberr reach of 717,777.

Recently I was invited into a few Tribes that have an incredible reach. My last blog post, why do you comment on blogs, was the very first to be sent using such a large reach. I’m still waiting on the statistics of this post, but expect it to be much higher than the average fifty calculated above.

Increase Your Triberr Traffic

I feel like my Triberr statistics could be greater, so I’m going to work on doing the following.

Use snazzier blog post titles.
Release my posts at optimum Twitter times. (for me this is midday, Pacific time)
Follow and comment on the blogs of all those whom Tweet my posts.
Smile. Who can’t when using Triberr?!

While the above steps are generally well accepted in the blogging community as “good blogging practices” they translate well into Triberr also.

A Few Questions

I have a few questions for you. It would please me if you answered, my friends.

What traffic are you seeing from Triberr?
What have you done to see statistical improvements?
Is your Triberr system set to manual or auto?
Do you use the new “inbreeding” system?

Looking forward to your comments.

All in all – I’m really enjoying the service. It’s phenomenal. If you’d like an invite yourself – feel free to email me. I’d be happy to get you started in the “Smartastic” tribe.

Stay tuned for another post in the coming weeks on the reasons why I love Triberr.

I’m not sure yet about the etiquette of inviting people to join your tribe or asking for an invite to join someone else’s. There’s a feeling – like on twitter – that you only invite people in your same follower range.

Benny June 15, 2011 at 6:57 am

No you don’t have to invite people in your follower range. I only have almost 300 and I added Christian who has a billion followers.

You can definitely ask anyone to join, regardless of how many followers they have.

Cool – I just sent Christian an invite. He does have a billion followers, but I think we’re buddies.

I also sent invites to Lynn Terry of Click News – we’ve had a few conversations in her post comments and on twitter, we’ll see!

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns June 15, 2011 at 9:02 am

I think you’ll find that the ones with the larger followers just tend to be a little more “weary” of joining tribes or even Triberr for that matter. At least that’s been my experience so far in the past. Now we’ve just got to convert them over!

Excited to hear about Click News. That would be great if she joined your Tribe. I’m planning on joining, I’ve just got to figure out why it’s not letting me. I’d be honored to be linked up with you Graham.

Graham Lutz June 15, 2011 at 6:56 pm: So how to we make those with the larger groups of followers feel better about joining?

How do we convert them?

I’ve been commenting with lynn terry an awful lot, and I think I’ll just send her an email – thoughts?

Reply
Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns June 16, 2011 at 11:04 am: I think we need to help them understand the benefit. I think it will take some explaining. Some coaxing. Some talking “one on one.”

So many people tend to have questions – and it’s been fun for me to explain one on one through email with a few individuals – the benefit of Triberr. Some have converted, and I love that!

The big guys can’t afford not to connect!

I brought in Ruhani Rabin into Anubis tribe. Rabin has 60+K followers..but the combined reach of everyone in Anubis was even greater…so there was a real benefit for him to join us.

For my last post I got 26 clicks with a reach of about 68,000. I like the analytics cause you get to see who’s followers clicked on it. For example, your followers sent 5 clicks to me last time. Thanks!

I had it on manual but I would always forget to check Triberr and then notice I had a long list of tweets to be approved. So now I put it on auto. I may go back to manual.

I have tried to write better headlines. I’ll definitely be experimenting with different times as well.

Yes I have tried inbreeding! I was able to invite you and Srini into my little tribe. I think it’s a great feature.

I think the key to triberr, for traffic, is to be in a tribe with people who are in a similar niche. I’m a member of one tribe and it’s mostly about making money online and I don’t get hardly any traffic from that tribe.
Benny recently posted..What Drives You to a Build a Better Life

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns June 15, 2011 at 9:05 am

That’s a good point Benny, in regards to being in the same niche. It makes perfect sense too. I can only imagine how little clicks you’d get if you were in the dog niche – but in a Tribe with cat lovers. Or online money makers, etc. It wouldn’t work in the least!

Right now I’m set to manual, because I think I would quickly forget to login and approve. I trust everyone whom I’m sharing Tribes with, so don’t worry at all about what type of posts are going to get sent out.

Benny June 15, 2011 at 9:59 am

11 posts for 625 hits giving me an avg of 57 hits per post. That’s just from Triberr. I’m set on Auto, and I have not used the new inbreeding yet, though I’m really glad it’s here. My reach is 232,920.

One great thing that has happened since I started with Triberr is that I have gained about 250 – 300 new Twitter followers, and the rate at which I am gaining new followers has greatly increased.

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns June 15, 2011 at 9:08 am

The gain in followers you’re displaying is a huge benefit Brian. I love hearing that. Do most of the people in your Tribes follow you now, Brian?

I’ve also noticed that most people from Triberr take the time to come over here and comment on the blog. Triberr not only has given me an increase on Twitter, but an added increase on my blog as well. It’s “blowing up” networking on a whole – I feel.

Brian Ellis June 15, 2011 at 9:15 am

I am in Anubis also (@bc42) and I think that we are pertty much all following each other. I have seen a great increase in comments on my posts as well. What I like about Anubis is that it is a rounded tribe. Not all tweeps are from the same background but all seem to be smart innovative individuals. I can kind of use the Anubis feed as a sort of reader to find inspiration for my own posts.

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns June 15, 2011 at 9:26 am: I do that all the time! I love checking out the feed, and browsing around for ideas. Reading the headlines alone helps to “spark” a few things in my mind often.

Agreed. Anubis is delightful. You’ve got a great collection of KIND and A+ people there. It’s hard to fail when you’re being helmed by Dino!

Jack Twitter: thejackb June 15, 2011 at 8:41 am

I have Triberr set on Auto. During the first two months I was in I noticed a 25% increase in traffic. I haven’t really measured it since. Some comments:

1) I have around 3400 followers. Some members of my tribe have dramatically more and some dramatically fewer.

2) There is a question in my mind about those who use the manual setting versus auto. I have noticed that some of them rarely send out my tweets while I send all of theirs.

3) I haven’t used inbreeding yet.

Overall I am very pleased with my experience. The people have for the most part been great but I do think that it is unfair for some of us to carry the load. That is primarily in reference to the auto/manual setting and not follower counts.

I understand why people might not want every tweet to go through their stream but if they never send out any of mine I wonder why I should be expected to send out theirs. If the purpose is to try to increase our reach then let’s work together to do so.

So what that says to me is that there is a need to focus on who is in your tribe to make sure that there are good matches in content/focus. Not very profound, but worth thinking about.

But for those readers who aren’t part of Triberr I want to reiterate that it has worked as promised. The contacts that I have made have been outstanding.

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns June 15, 2011 at 9:11 am

I get your drift Jack. I see a bit of that happening too, in regards to some of the Triberr users not tweeting out everyone’s posts as much as they should be.

I know for example, in Dino’s tribe, he’s strict about keeping auto-tweet in his Triberr policy. All users must have it set in order to continue in the tribe.

I wonder how this could be resolved.

Jack Twitter: thejackb June 15, 2011 at 5:41 pm

We’re all in the same tribe and the way it is set we can see the settings of all tribe members. In theory we could send a “smoke signal” to those who aren’t “toeing the line” but I prefer not to go there.

That sounds fantastic Dino. Excited to hear that. Triberr isn’t just cutting edge: It’s reading minds!

Thanks for stopping by. Triberr is moving along at an incredible speed. I just love watching Triberr’s Alexa rank. I bet it’s one of the fastest moving rankers in the world. In just a few weeks I’m sure, it’s going to be in the top 10,000 of websites. I have great faith in the product.

Keri Twitter: connectyou June 15, 2011 at 9:28 am

Christian,

I have seen some increased traffic since joining Triberr. I need to take a closer look, but I do use the information provided in the platform, and I know who is driving traffic for me.

My intention is to take time and energy to appreciate them, now that I can see.

My settings are on auto. If we are to establish and build trust, we should be willing to automatically send tweets. This is also a checks and balances to quality.

I have enabled inbreeding. I like this, but also feel too much dilutes the gene pool, so to speak.

Your tips are all good – thank you!

Very glad to have met you via Triberr…

~Keri

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns June 15, 2011 at 9:34 am: You bring up a very valid point here, Keri. Inbreeding too much has the possibility of diluting the gene pool. The good thing is that I asked Dino about this – and he responded by letting me know that duplicate tweets coming from an individual who is in two of your tribes – has been addressed.

I’m on the same page with you too. If you trust those who are in your tribes (which you should!) then it shouldn’t be a problem tweeting their blog posts. I’m happy to be in tribes with lots of members too – because at most I’m going to be tweeting maybe 100 tweets per week coming from Triberr. That’s a small price to pay for the great benefit I’m receiving from the service.

And, not to mention, I’d be tweeting their blog posts anyways – whether Triberr existed or not!

Hey Christian,

I am using Triberr as well, but I haven’t thought much about the statistics and how many visitors I have received from Triberr. I am using it first and foremost in order to build relations to the people in my tribes and to connect with people that I’m not already connected with. I’m not a member of that many tribes, let me know if you have an available spot

By the way, my settings are on auto, and I trust every single member of my tribes (that they are publishing quality content, and I’m reading every blog post anyway).

I’m sure you’ve noticed how quickly you’re able to connect with others who are members of your tribes. I think it’s wonderful to see the development of connections by using Triberr as a medium alone. It’s really been phenomenal for me.

What’s your favorite part of Triberr?
Do you connect with the Twitter followings of other triberr users?

Jens P. Berget Twitter: berget June 19, 2011 at 12:36 am: Hey Christian,

Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been camping, in a tent, without any electricity and no internet connection

My favorite part of Triberr is probably how easy it is. It’s fully automated, and i don’t have to think about it, it just works. But that’s also the reason why I forget about it. I should be reading more about how it works, and how I can get more “bones”… actually, I don’t know what bones is, I have just seen it on the website (I guess I know what I am going to do right now)

I have a small trusted Tribe as well as being part of something bigger. I like both options, where I share trusted quality posts with my followers. I don’t add every single post to Triberr and I care greatly about where I belong. It’s kinda cool and like everything open to abuse, but the Tribes I am in won’t be like that

I gave the filthy spammer plugin a little update. You might like it even more now. Certainly some strong language.

You mention something I’ve been thinking about lately. There are a few extra posts I’d like to include in the blog here, above what I normally post, but don’t want to infiltrate Triberr with too many posts. So I’m thinking of not adding a few – for the sake of being “clean.”

I bet that works well for you. To not post all posts. Especially when putting out a larger quantity at a certain time period!

Janet Twitter: janetcallaway June 15, 2011 at 3:35 pm

Christian, aloha. Love your post and the comments. Can hardly wait to check back for more.

Definitely, I am seeing more traffic from Triberr. And, Christian, those who come from Triberr, generally speaking, stay longer, leave quality comments and refer others to the post. What I see, is tremendous tribe support.

It’s interesting that you say that you are going to work on your headlines. Christian, while my headline for yesterday’s post was “sizzling,” prior to Triberr, most of them were not. Now, with Naked Stats I can see which posts are receiving the most clicks. Invariably, Christian they are the ones with catchiest headlines. As a result of what I have learned from Triberr stats, I am working on improving my headlines.

My Triberr system is set to auto for a variety of reasons. To me, Christian, Triberr is built on trust. If I trust a person, the tweet should be automagic. If I don’t trust a person, why should I be in the tribe with them or “use” their followers while withholding mine from them. That offends my sense of fair play. Jack and I are in agreement on this point. Unfortunately, Christian, despite Dino’s “Rules of Engagement” for our tribe. some do have it set on manual.

Continuing with the auto/manual thread, another reason is that I don’t know what all my followers would like to read. Had I not joined Triberr, I would have missed meeting many incredible bloggers and reading their fantastic blogs. My life has been enriched by the experience. If I care about my followers, why would I want to deny them that same pleasure and opportunity?

Also, I don’t believe followers are one dimensional no matter what the topic. Quite possibly people who like social media, also like parenting, wine and dogs just as someone who specializes in real estate might also like personal development, travel and cats.

Christian, I am just starting to use inbreeding, however, I will use it with caution because I do not want my followers overwhelmed with tweets–no matter how great the content. If they see too much, they will stop clicking which defeats the purpose. Inbreeding is a terrific enhancement when used judiciously.

Thx so much, Christian, for a provocative post on one of my favorite topics Triberr.

Best wishes for a most excellent day. Until next time, aloha. Janet

JJ June 15, 2011 at 4:10 pm

1.) What traffic are you seeing from Triberr?
My blog has a genuine increase in traffic due to Triberr, and a few who have taken up residence like they own the place. I’m considering handing out eviction notices.

2.)What have you done to see statistical improvements?
I tend to use controversial titles that catch my niche’s attention. I also time when the posts will be sent out (if I can) to reach people at what I hope are opportune times.

3.) Is your Triberr system set to manual or auto?
Auto. It works best for me. I use manual for the timing of the blog posts and leave Triberr to its magic. I also don’t really care if I have readers or not, and can’t quite figure out why anyone would want to read my blog. =P

4.) Do you use the new “inbreeding” system?
Who did what? DINNNO!!! (*no idea* lol)

I went and saw Guy Kawasaki speak on social media not too long ago, he has over 360k twitter followers and I was surprised to see that once he sends out a tweet he only gets about 950 clicks. That opened up a whole new perspective for me to the amount of followers he has.
I’m new to Triberr but it definitely looks good, as I am already seeing benefits.

That’s amazing. Such a low ratio. Triberr is great. Not only you get some new traffic but you get to know other members in your tribe which is great for networking and building friendships.
Benny recently posted..What Drives You to a Build a Better Life

Brian Ellis June 15, 2011 at 6:47 pm

I think that Guy’s ratio is so low because so many people know that he is not actually tweeting his own accounts. He has, I believe, 5 ghost tweeters employed. I’d say his ratio was higher before the truth came out.

Samantha Bangayan June 15, 2011 at 9:17 pm

Christian, I love the style of your posts! You should do create a lot of discussion. After reading your questions, I couldn’t wait to dig into the comments, read others’ thoughts and share mine as well! =)

I just went to check my stats and 25 hits for my last post with a reach of just over 250,000. Reading through the comments has taught me that the low ratio probably has to do with: (1) not have snazzy titles =P and (2) no one being in my niche, which could be broadly stated as “personal blogging.”

In any case, I’m more ecstatic that Triberr has been a way for me to feel more connected with others in my blogging communities. Janet Callaway was the first person to invite me and I’ve been able to link up with a lot of fabulous people through her tribe. I’ve always been able to forge deeper friendships with people that I invite through my tribe. Janet once wrote a post about how she invited people to her tribes to thank them for their friendship and I decided to take a similar approach. =)

As for your last two questions: I’ve set my Triberr system to auto (because I believe in trusting my tribe mates with the same reasoning that Janet so eloquently lays out in your comments) and I do use inbreeding with Adrienne Smith! =)

Thanks for having me look into this, Christian! I probably wouldn’t have looked up the stats at all if I hadn’t read this post! =)

Hey Christian, I also noticed a influx of new people since I joined up with Triberr.

I’ll admit I hadn’t paid too much attention to the stats, but I could see it from the comments. Very cool!

Mine is set on auto because I tend to trust my tribemates. At first I was leaving the manuals lie until I could get to them, but then I’d have a huge list waiting to inspect, so now I jump on them as soon as they come in and it works out better.

I don’t think I’m working it like I could, so I need to really get in there and check my vitals!

1. What traffic are you seeing from Triberr? I’m not sure who is coming from Triberr. I have seen an increase in the month i’ve been a member but how do i know they came from triberr? I don’t know. LOL

2. What have you done to see statistical improvements? I’ve been snazzing up my headlines. I even tried to use a controversial title and include the word “virgin” in my last post. It was ackward but it was meant to be entertaining and informative but i defenitely saw an increase in click through from twitter
3. Is your Triberr system set to manual or auto? Set to manual. I trust my tribe. If i don’t, i’ll leave my tribe.
4. Do you use the new “inbreeding” system? I’m not really sure what or how to use it. so if someone with similar subject matter wants to share this with me it sound disgusting but i’ll try anything.

p.s. my reach is about 61,000 in my tribe.

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns June 20, 2011 at 11:17 am: In your Triberr account you’ll see statistics of who is sending your post traffic from their Twitter account. It actually works very well. Tells you exactly who’s sending you traffic.

Great to hear your success of fixing up headlines. It’s incredible how much of an effect that has on a blog post’s success.

As for inbreeding, it’s a system where you can join multiple Tribes within Triberr. Before, you could only join one – and then be a part of your original three that you owned.

Hi Christian, I just started using Triberr, thanks to a kind invitation from Vitaly. I’m still becoming familiar with the site and only now learned from your blog about the analytics. Fascinating stuff!

Triberr is a great concept and the site is really taking off. I am a proud member of Vitaly’s tribe and will check out my stats now.

Thanks for your very helpful post!

Hi Christian,

Congrats on your small business nomination in the guru category.

Funny how metrics can be used for and against you. I think I was in the wrong tribe (I just left). I don’t have a lot of Twitter followers (by design at the moment) and I post infrequently. In contrast, my former tribe leader had lots of Twitter followers and post fairly frequently. Everyone else falls somewhat in-between. Until recently, I auto-tweeted everyone. While I tended to visit most of the posts of tribe members and leave thoughtful comments, I rarely saw any activity from most of them.

I tend to write about small business systems and how-to tutorials. Tribe members write more about blogging, twittering, social media, with a smattering of internet marketing.

I finally left after getting a strange message about how often I post. In some instances I think tribe members equate number of followers and frequency of posting — rather than quality of articles and quality of engagement — with whether or not that makes you a “good” tribe member.

Sorry to hear of the strange experience with a Tribe. I understand where you’re coming from, because to me, that’s where the blogosphere is fantastic. Difference. Some of us post a whole lot – while others, not so much. It seems odd they’d comment – because you not posting too much wouldn’t hurt them in the least as long as you yourself are taking the time to Tweet their blog posts. Interesting.

As for Triberr, it seems that many of the Tribe members fall similar to what their “leader’s” social profile looks like. At least, that’s the trend I’m starting to see. With inbreeding, it’s helped to even out the field of Triberr users too.

Thank you for stopping by. Heading over to your blog now. Appreciate all your support and thoughts. I really do.
Christian

Vernessa Taylor | CoachNotesBlog July 17, 2011 at 8:29 pm

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your response. I agree, it works better when the niches of each tribe member are more aligned.

When I first saw some of the new features of Triberr, I recall thinking how useful they could be if the right mindset was in place, but how they also offered an opportunity for abuse when placed in the hands of those with a punitive mindset.

On another note, you’re making an excellent showing in the SmallBiz awards. (Yes, I voted!)

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns July 17, 2011 at 9:49 pm: It reminds me that with great power comes great responsibility (thank you Spiderman). Wherever there’s an incredible tool it seems there is ALWAYS going to be a huge desire for those with wrong intentions to abuse. It seems that’s how history has always played out and unfolded. It’s too bad really. I just hope we can come up ways to protect – and keep Triberr running in a smooth, concise direction.

Thank you for voting Vernessa. Thank you! I’m all smiles.

Just thought I’d share a little update. Most posts now that I post using the Triberr system are reported as getting on average, 600 visitors, according to Triberr. My reach is around 2.5 million.

Have a feeling I was brought here (remember me?? ) through the power of triberr on twitter just now LOL I got an invite and joined triberr this week, seemed like a great idea. But I read another blog post today in which people were really not liking the whole triberr thing and the concept of retweeting things they haven’t necessarily endorsed. My feeling is that the tribe I am in, I like and subscribe to the two blogs (it’s a small tribe at the mo) and it seems harmless to me, and I like the thought of my blog posts being spread further and wider.

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns September 2, 2011 at 2:29 pm: Same thoughts here Sheila. Most every blog that I tweet via Triberr I’m reading anyways, and am Tweeting anyways. The blogs that I don’t always like their content – they’re just set on manual. So it’s simple enough really!

Hi Christian! You’ve probably seen that I’m in one of your tribes as of yest I hadn’t linked my twitter account properly until today though, oops.

Just checked stats and 2 posts have been shared by 10 of the 16, with 327 visitors – all this just from today! Got 29 from you, thanks so much. The # keeps climbing, at this rate I’ll be at 400+ tmrw. Niceeee.

I shared one post and so far 9 visitors to that person. Looking forward to more interactions on SC. Since I am a total newbie to triberr I’ve set everything to manual while I figure out how to work it. I haven’t used inbreeding yet. It’s just day 2 for me so lots to scope out.

I’d gotten invites from Benny & Nicholas but can’t seem to access their tribes, think I did something wrong while signing up..

Cheers, Tia

Christian Hollingsworth Twitter: smartboydesigns September 3, 2011 at 3:30 am: So happy to hear of all your success and experience with Triberr. It’s surely an incredible tool to use. Both for sharing your posts and connecting with others. You’ve got some fun days in your future! #excited

For myself I have a few tribes on manual and most on automatic. If I’m reading the other blogs anyway – I have no problem doing so!

Dude I am loving the Triberr experience and being able to equally share EVERYONE’S post at the same time as having mine shared… it is pretty KICK ASS!!!

I definitely realized those points soon too… Definitely want to publish at the right time (cause all of my Tribberr friends tweeting my post at 3 am is weird…) and every post, I now write the headline so my friends can say it too….

Looking forward to tweeting your next post!

p.s. I have mine on auto, and it is actually a great way to be notified by looking at my sent tweets I get news on latest posts that rock!

p.p.s. What plugin(s) are you using for the checkboxes underneath… I desperately need a new comment system, as I am getting too much spam, and ALSO, don’t have a way to follow up with people…

The checkbox plugin I’m using is GASP (Growmap AntiSpam Plugin) and then I also use the Akismet plugin. It helps a lot. Let me know if you have any other questions!

It looks like Triberr is working for you because this post has a bunch of comments. There is a lot to be said for engaging readers and getting comments on your posts, traffic and SEO. I just have not been able to get an invite.

My Twitter following is still growing, maybe I will get an invite when my followers grows past 10,000. Thanks for sharing this information though.

Cool, thanks for the invite. I am running off to court right now. When I get back to the office I will check my email.

My feedback is here: I’m feeling the Triberr power, just a few posts and hundreds of visits.

I’m happy because my return rate is also great, so my participation is a win-win for Smart Tribe partners. It’s wonderful to give content and to spread good content.

Again, thank you very much for sharing this fantastic world to me, Christian.

Christian:
I love Triberr (but need to work it more). When I joined a month ago, I was getting about 10 clicks per post from it. I now get 100+ clicks on each daily post from Triberr alone. The headings we use definitely make a difference. I had close to 200 clicks on one of my ‘better’ titles (What do American Idol and Hitler have in common?) See http://dr-rhia.squarespace.com/blog/2012/2/23/what-do-american-idol-and-hitler-have-in-common.html I only have a reach of about 310K because I need to work it more. I don’t think we need to write in the same niche to join a tribe…I get lots of hits from you, Christian (thank you!). I try to look after my supporters daily.

Hi Christian
Thanks for this post. I am going to have to reread it and go through all of the comments as well. I just joined Triberr day before yesterday so it’s all still a bit of a mystery to me to be honest. Hopefully reading through this info will help. I totally have no idea how to invite anyone into my tribe yet or what inbreeding is?
Lots to learn here, thanks again for the post. I have heard wonderful things about Triberr, so I am really looking forward to using it.

Cheers
