We Aren’t Dead Yet

So, i thought it could be cool with a little update regarding this blog again. As you already know I don’t have enough time to spend on it as I would like to, but it’s not dead yet. ;)

As far as traffic goes, I don’t have any numbers to brag about. Since I don’t update regularly, or try to get new visitors to the site, the numbers aren’t going up. The last 20 days almost 1.600 people have visited the blog. Not bad, but not good either.

The RSS subscriber numbers have actually keept itself quite nicely around the 80-ich. As you can see on the chart below the numbers tends to go a bit down, but nothing to be afraid of. It’s good to see that you guys aren’t jumping over board! ;)

Every sunday I used to post my stats. Heres an quick update how it looks now:

(Last time in parentheses)
Alexa: 155,121 (215,825)
Technorati: 68,532 (126,758)
Authority: 117 (59)
RSS readers: 80 (60)
Posts: 79 (59)
Comments: 795 (547)

As you can see the numbers have actually gotten better, so if we look one month back the blog have actually been growing. :) (Not counting traffic)

So, there you have. Ohh, wait, maybe I should throw in some link love while we’re at it? Ok, here goes, the top commentators right now are:

  1. That’s great Staale! Good to see the blog stickin’ it out even though the lack of updates. Sounds good! Now I just need to get my blog, http://www.monkeyblogger.com up to that level ;) Haha. :)

    Regards,

  2. Hey thanks buddy for the link love. By the way, you are not dead yet for sure and don’t let it happen with this blog too. It’s good to come here and read your articles. Why don’t you invite guest bloggers may be? hows that idea!

  3. Guest bloggers is a good idea for sure, and I have actually written an post about it already.http://www.vikingblogger.com/2008/02/13/do-you-want-to-be-a-guest-blogger/

    It’s a long time ago though, so i might write a new one. :)

  4. Hi Staale, Glad to see a new item in my reader again from your blog. Where have you been man?

  5. Nice to see the boost in traffic even after not updating your blog regularly. Strange !!!

    And yeh, thanks for the link love. :D

  6. Thanks for the love :)
    Btw be updating atleast twice a week lol.

  7. Nice stats Ståle ;)

    I know how it is to be to busy… I don’t update my blog as often as I would like to either..

  8. Unless you are planning to compete with ’serious’ moneybloggers there are no need to update the blog on a daily bases. 3-4 times a week should be acceptable, and for each new post you get in here, your google fodder will grow, and over time you will gain more readers anyway :)

    I’ll contact you about the guestblogging later…just have to finish a ongoing project first ;)

  9. I know how it feels to see traffic going down, I also don’t update my blog as often as I should..

  10. Thanks for the link love. :) Been busy doing some test why traffic rise and down, will be posting more often soon. Love to be questblogging on yours. Nice post.

  11. I have noticed a lot of times that, with full-article RSS feeds, more readers turn to RSS to read your content, instead of visiting your actual site. This might be why your reader count is going steady while you have gotten a drop in visits. (have you checked your Feedburner reach lately?) This way, it is very possible to move up in Technorati and blog authority while your actual visits are decreasing.

  12. It helps to see how others are doing to encourage me to keep going.

  13. as everyone suggested … u should try to increase ur posting atleast around 5 posts a week frd …

    Btw : Thanx for the link love frd :)
