Serendipity Forums

I am now getting 2000 visitors a day, the law of large numbers regarding blogging says I should now be getting regular comments. I get close to none.

I get daily registrations with no comments.
What are they registering for?
Ofter I can see them do it twice. I assumes they didnt wait long enough to get the email or looked in their wrong account.

A very few have emailed me with troubles. They say they have to change cookies and their virus software, and two said running zone alarm made him turn their firewall off to be able to comment.

I try the process as a different person on a different computer with a different addy and I havent had problems, but then I am not a virus paranoid type and use low settings on all that type stuff.

But a hundred registrations of people who don't comment? Whats with that ya think?

I would not worry about it RJ. People register, but never actually post. Investigate problems if/when they are reported, but just sit back and enjoy the traffic! Hopefully it is quality traffic, and not spammers!

The blog has changed by doing what generates traffic rather than what I had intended.
We find the days funny political videos and put them up with some of our liberal content.
With the high video overhead of the JS and graphics I finally found the sweet spot of putting up only 12 articles, about a day and half worth... And with some other tweaking, it loads fast now for a graphic heavy site. But very few people come to the blog domain itself, less than 15%. Traffic comes to single articles, which load lots faster than the entire page, hey!

The pageview to visitors ratio is very good, about 5 to 4. I do pretty good with google and fairly well with a digger called REDDIT. I have a SIXTIES http://sixties60s.comwebsite where the pageview to visitors are 5 to 2. Its a two edged sword... Each Person clicking around is good But its less people.

An issue my partner and I do well at is keywords in the TITLE, they are about the most important thing there is if you after search traffic. Our big lesson was not to be cutsy witty in the title, just get the keywords in even if they dont make as much sense as one would like, save the cutsy witty for the first line of text.

Traffic has always been going up steadily so I shouldnt complain now averaging over 2000 a day. 3000 a day pr 100,000 a month is the number when you can start getting real ads rather than just adsense and blogads. THEY also say 3000 a day is when the comments start coming on automatic.

Trouble is as we have moved up in traffic, because of the economy, ad revenue is going down. .
Its always something...
