How do you generate so many back links? It seems the hardest thing about building a web site is to get backlinks. Any tips?

I was referring specifically to old posts on my blog that were part of a case study for sponsored blogging (payperpost.com, reviewme.com, etc). The requirements are that those posts stay live for a certain amount of time – which has now passed. While I will keep the posts live, I can remove the “sponsored by” wording on them. I believe this ‘trips a Google filter’

You said, “I was going to remove some sponsored ad wording and change some text around. I need to get on that this weekendâ€¦”

What did you mean by sponsored ad wordings and why do you wants to change the texts? Can you let’s see exactly the wordings?

Maybe I can glean some ideas and lessons from this. Thanks for your consideration.

Congrats! I’m glad to see I’m not the only fan of AwStats I will never get though why they don’t use an absolute length for the different bars in the bar charts. I.e. why when you have 1000 uniques for instance and 5000 impressions is the uniques bar much longer than the impressions one? A great mystery…

Nah But that reminds me – I was going to remove some sponsored ad wording and change some text around. I need to get on that this weekend…

Nice idea here.

Just to show that one must always care about what is going in stat area in online business.

Hmm — Google still sending lots of traffic. I am getting boosted in confidence that I should not worry about the Google PR too much.

Thank you Katherine. To be honest I havent been real focused on promotion this year at all – but rather in writing and in growing my readership base. I’ll be marketing my sites more aggressively in 2008 and look forward to sharing how I do that, and what the results are in future stats posts.

Thanks for publishing your stats very month Lynn. I enjoy looking at my own stats and taking note of where the traffic is coming from so it is always interesting to compare with a more established and popular site.

Unique, quality content + SEO + Social Networking has been my strategy to date.

See: http://www.clicknewz.com/social-networking/

Of course, it took a little time too – and I have a long way to go still – but its been a great experience overall. Definitely worth my time & energy!

Lynn,

As a successful blogger, do you have any tips on how to get visitors and subscribers to your RSS feed? I have just started a new blog at http://www.webdesignability.com. and I have some traffic but not much yet. What did you do to grow your traffic, visitors and subscribers?

I use AWSTATS to view my site stats, which is part of cPanel with my hosting account. As you can see from the data above, I get traffic from search engines, forums, social bookmarking sites, other websites that link to my posts, etc.

To get the inside scoop on some of my traffic methods, see both pages of the Traffic Q&A at:

I actually dont… but I have an article in the queue by someone else that I am going to review and possibly publish along with some other resources for gaining traffic from StumbleUpon.

Obviously useful, original content is going to contribute to that, as its a social network where users choose and vote and comment on content from around the web.

More on that later this week though, as I’m interested in studying it myself!
