After I spent January posting an article each day I summed up my experiences in a post about how this had affected the traffic. As I noted back then the traffic to my blog is driven by search engines as I usually provide solutions to issues I encounter during my daily work. This means that the increase in traffic will be a bit delayed until the posts gets indexed and ranked accordingly.
I’ve added data points for february in the table below, originally seen in the previous post.
| October | January | February | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visits | 3 643 | 4 352 | (+19%) | 5 678 | (+56%) |
| Pageviews | 4 529 | 5 636 | (+24%) | 7 327 | (+62%) |
The average time spent on the site has adjusted itself to 58 seconds (one second down from the time in January) – which is within the bias. Nothing new here.
Obvious conclusion: more content that solves problems people have gives an increase in traffic. Not sure if anyone didn’t see that one coming.
