10,000 - That's a pretty nice number, isnt it? 😉
I was going to wait until the end of the month to share this tidbit with you... but today was the day, and I just couldnt wait! All month I have been keeping an eye on the traffic stats for this blog (ClickNewz.com) and noticing a substantial increase in the number of unique visitors.
There are usually just over 5,000 unique visitors per month. Last month, March 2007, there was a nice little increase to 7,221 unique visitors. But this month, we'll be breaking that 5-digit barrier...
In fact, it happened today! Current stats show 10,061 unique visitors so far for the month of April. Very exciting considering the number of unique visitors has almost doubled in the last couple of months!
Just wanted to share the good news with you 😉
Best,

About Lynn Terry
Congratulations, Lynn. Must feel absolutely fantastic. Want to direct some of those visitors my way 😉 Keep up the great work.
Excellent!
It's always good to set mile stones - and it's even better when you get to achieve them :o)
Here's to many more next month, Lynn.
Cool! I thought you were going to say 5 figure monthly income... but you're probably already there. 😉
Its just a fun little milestone for a relatively new site in my portfolio 😉 - I have only been blogging here on ClickNewz.com for right at one year now.
The goal, of course, will be to maintain 10,000 unique visitors per month, and continue building on that number!
Hurray Lynn! So glad to see your efforts paying off. 😀
Nothing like Momentum. Keep it up Lynn.
That's got me wondering how much traffic I get to my blog. I haven't checked in about 3 months, and last time I did I was SHOCKED to see so many daily visitors.
Here's to 20,000 monthly uniques! Keep up the good work!
That's great Lynn, Congratulations!
Impressive. So what have you done differently to double your traffic in the past few months?
Great question!
I have analyzed the stats to determine this myself, and the one major difference in numbers between March and April are from the search engines.
There is a substantial increase in the number of hits from googlebot and msnbot, with yahoo staying about the same. As a result, traffic from Google alone more than tripled this month.
Since there are approximately the same number of posts for both March and April (so far), and no major increase in referrers (outside of the addition of StumbleUpon), the only logical conclusion is that the new template has worked some kind of magic.
I installed the Presscut Theme around March 30th. Perhaps it is 'more optimized' than my original template, or maybe it is just the change itself that attracted the search bots. I'm honestly not sure.
But that is where the additional traffic is coming from: mainly Google, with Yahoo traffic more than doubling as well.
