March 2010 Traffic Report

Written on April 16th, 2010 by debspagno shouts

Site visitors                            1230

Facebook Friends                 105

Twitter Followers                  977

LinkedIn Connections         177

Email List Members              207

Inbound Links                         819

I’m pleased that my site received a few more visitors than last month.  My traffic efforts certainly seem to be consistent, bringing me roughly the same amount of traffic each month.  In the next few weeks, I will be implementing a new strategy to, hopefully, grow that traffic.

Twitter is growing again. I made a change this month. I set my account to automatically follow people who follow me. I knew it would increase my followers a little because some people unfollow if you don’t follow them back. I now see how many people that really is because those people are now staying with me, and my number of followers did grow. I haven’t done anything else to grow my followers this month.

Inbound links continues to baffle me.  I don’t know why this is growing so rapidly.  But I’ll take it!

Written on August 28th, 2009 by debspagno shouts

If you are trying to drive traffic to your website, then you better see to it that your website is ready.
 
While social networking helps you promote your business, it can also be one strategy that can help generate traffic for your site. This is why before you actually make known to all your contacts that you have a website, you have to make sure that your website has the following:
1. Your company name and phone number – This must be found at the top of every page in your site.

2. An interface that’s easy to navigate – You have to make sure that your viewers will be able to find exactly what they are searching for without much difficulty.

3. A content-rich landing page – Your landing page must have comprehensive information that is enough to let your visitors know what your company sells.

4. A comprehensive About Us page – Make sure that the information you enter into this page encompasses the company or the business image that you want to portray.

If you still are uncertain about how ready your website is, then by all means contact me. I can help you evalua
te your website and I can even provide you with tips, techniques, and suggestions for free. Email me at drichmond@tekkbuzz.com.

Remember, you will only be able to make the most out of your social networking efforts if your website is all ready to receive the amount of traffic that social networking can give.
