Slowly Building Traffic
I’m not particularly concerned with the amount of people that read this site; I’m not trying to make any money off of this site and I’m not even really looking to build up any sort of reputation from it. It’s just a creative outlet.
That being said, I, like all people, have an ego. And seeing my traffic numbers increase is always a pleasant surprise. Since starting my “Make Wordpress Do What You Want” series, I have seen my traffic increase to about 10-25 visitors per day on average. Nearly all of that traffic comes from organic search. Here’s what my traffic looks like for about the last two weeks:
Averaging 10-25 visitors a day organically
This is by no means a lot of traffic. But it is encouraging for two reasons: 1) I plan on adding at least another dozen Wordpress tricks to the site, which should boost the traffic another 20-30 visitors a day and 2) I have plans to experiment with ad revenue generating micro niche sites for some nice recurring income.
That second item is potentially a great thing. I’m hoping to have half of my income come from micro niche sites by the new year (obviously if I can get more than that’s even better). I’ve learned the right tools I need to find the niches, I have a list of really powerful link building resources to use, and I have all of the technical know how to make it happen.
We’ll see how it goes.
