Increasing Traffic Does Not Mean An Increase in Revenue
Okay, I'm going to vent here. I was all excited when I looked at my web traffic over the weekend. Traffic was up. I was receiving hits from all the places I wanted. Google search results, links I had in posted articles on Ezine, and StumbleUpon stumbles. You know how much money I made....? Zero. That's write, absolutely nothing!
I know, I know. My number of hits is dreadfully low anyways, but I had $5 days before with less hits than this. I was just expecting some sort of activity on the income front.
I was deflated. It still proves the point that you always hear the traffic doesn't always result in ad clicks. John Chow writes about this on his December recap article as well. Google traffic was far better than Digg traffic for him, even though there was a lot less of them. They were far more likely to click on the ads.
My Traffic From This Weekend
As you can see by Friday that I had 7 first time visitors which is above the norm for me, but the weekend turned out awesome. Ezine decided to finally publish a couple of my articles and there they were.
I am still going to focus on generating traffic though. More articles, more submissions, and that will be my formula for now. I am still happy with my ad placements. I wanted to try some of the other advertising methods John Chow is using, but they are for higher traffic sites only.
Anyhow, until next time...
