One-Month BE Stats

Posted in How to Blog, SEO by Elliott Back on January 18th, 2005.

After a month of Blog Explosion, I’ve received 1,319.75 lifetime credits. Each credit is worth one 30 second page view, or around 20 banner impressions. This blog has 3 votes at an average 9.67, and a nice comment. Every day I receive 44 new visitors from my 121 member referer network, 4 levels deep. Apparently, it can actually go down to 5 levels deep–which would be cool.

So here’s my plug. Sign up with Blog Explosion from one of these links, and get well on your road to exposure and traffic. Most of my credits come from second level referers, so I want to build a larger first-level network. And if you don’t like multilevel traffic-exchange schemes, just give it a try. At worst you get to preview some other people’s interesting (or boring) blogs.

What do you have to lose?

Is it worth it though? How many of those visitors are just clicking away trying to earn more credits, and not really reading your writing? I suppose it's nice to see when someone 'blogmarks' your site, but the stats aren't able to tell when people (like me) bookmark you in their browser or syndicate your feed.

Sorry, I'm being long-winded. What I'm trying to get at is that surely it's better to target an audience that already has an interest in your themes? Or am I missing the point?

(PS, I know, I'm a hypocrite ;)

You certainly have a point, but most advertising is loosely targeted at best. Even worse, most people have no idea what their audience is, and how to find them. I certaintly wouldn't know who my audience is, so the broad-sweep approach works best for me. This is certainly not a very focused blog!

Heh. Point taken. I suppose I was just getting a little jaded by seeing so many blogs that promoted BE or BC (which seem to just be creating a little sub-community of the same bloggers), and ones that looked like B1FF had had a hand in designing them.

Having said that, I found your site through it, so at least one good thing's come out of it :)
