The aftermath…

September 6, 2007 Filed Under: 30 Day Challenge

So the Thirty Day Challenge is over but the journey still continues.Hopefully like me, you’ve been monitoring your site and tracking your stats.

Hopefully unlike me, you’ve been updating your site regularly. I haven’t added many new posts but I have gotten my ezine article accepted, submitted to a few other article sites, solicited backlinks and analyzed my competition. So I haven’t been TOTALLY lazy.

I really wanted to sit back and evaluate how the site was doing in order to determine if I needed to cut bait and try again.

Let’s look:

50-70 page views a day (with 40-50 of those being unique visitors)
12-15 Clickthrough to my affiliates page
1 in 50 purchase affiliate product

*This data is based on about 10 days of data (would be 20 if it wasn’t for my almost fatal link error)

Those numbers look pretty good to me. With about a months worth of effort I think I can get up to 150-200 unique visitors a day. The question then becomes my clickthrough rate. Atleast 50% of my visitors should be seeing my affiliates page because that is what they came to my site looking for. A solution. Why aren’t they going there?!

Let’s do an experiment. Maybe the TDC Tracker Url “locatereview” is throwing them off. It is a bit awkward considering I don’t talk about reviewing any thing so lets try TinyUrls.

I also switched around some of the posts to help drive traffic to my affiliate.

Now it’s back to tracking. Let’s see how these changes effect the stats. Hopefully there will be an increased click through rate. My goal is to have at least 25 people seeing my affiliate page which should result in a sale every other day. Then I will focus on increasing the number of visitors and my Google rank.

How are your stats?

Think critically~
