I decided to check google analytics stats for this blog and decided that it was time to give credit to some blogs that are driving traffic to my.

So here are some interesting articles from the blogs that kindly are bringing traffic to my blog :):

Vikinblogger recently joined Payperpost and he is having some mixed thoughts about PPP, see for your self what he has to tell.

bloggeries.com gathers a community of bloggers from all over the world. This forum may help you a lot in your blogging life.

JohnChow.com yeah, johnchow blog is sending me some traffic too. Jonh Chow is back with another post with food pictures… Some of you like and thin this is fun, others are tired of this kind of posts. You be the judge.. :p

dinheirooportunidade.comin this case i would recommend the english version of this blog from a Portuguese guru. Custodio in his english blog tells you how to have Cheap, quality traffic, and stolen from your competitors

And this is it. The are blogs that are sending me more traffic. For all of them my thanks, and keep them coming!

Well, i don’t think that no blogger has a rival in the real sense of the word, but let’s say in a positive way. You wonder how many sites a certain blogger has…

Well, if you want to have a 100% correct answer, then you can give up right now, because there is no way you can get a 100% certain… If you ask a blogger then it is most probable that he/she cant’ answer you with a right number.

But, there is a way, where you can have a number, that is no where near the right number.

You can use Google analytics to get a number. Let me show you how.

Visit a site that may interest you, and if that site is being monitored by google analytics, then just see the page source code (press F11 if you are using mozilla).

Let’s use my example:

This code is from one of my mini sites, and if you click the image, you can see a red square around a number: the number 8.

This 8 means, when i created a new profile on google analytics, the associated code generated was the 8th code generated. So at that time, i had 7 other codes to use on 7 different sites.

This way, you can have a slight idea of the number of sites someone has. I say slight, because the webmaster may have created another websites, for example, if you check my G analytics code you will see that i have a 2 for this blog. My number 4 code may not be being used at this time, or i can have other sites being monitored by other service or as it happens on several of my minor sites, i only monitor them trough my cpanel stats.

This is intended just for curiosity purposes and nothing more

oh, and btw, there is a lot to learn checking the source code from other bloggers

It’s has been 9 days now since i created the wii-finder mini site in the Creating Mini sites series and it is time to do a short analysis.

I got wii-finder.info indexed by google in 2 days. But i failed to write articles fast and even now there is one page with no text on it.

Lets look at keyword ranking on google:

Wii Finder: Not ranked

Guitar hero for wii: Not ranked

Wii problems: Not ranked

wii console in stock: Not ranked

wii availability: Not ranked

Where to buy wii: Ranked 19

I admit these results are poor. The main keywords i select haven’t been ranked yet on google. but i haven’t done any promotionand link building for the mini site except in this blog.

But, analysing the stats from google analytics i have received traffic from these keywords:

wii finder in store: Ranked 16th

guitar hero finder: Ranked 21st

guitar hero for the wii finder: ranked 5th

After seeying this i will do some changes on the Wii finder site.

As for earnings, the site has generated its first clicks.

Overall the results are satisfatory. I just have to spend some time to get better results.

Hope you all had a good weekend! And i want to say that the $20 payment to the contest winner has been made! Here is the proof:

And know, it is time to analyse the results of the contest.

The main objective was to bring more traffic, and i think it was achieved. Look at the Alexa graph:

The contest began 29th november, and since then the traffic has increased, having the total traffic more than doubled in certains days.

According to google analytics, on december 10 the blog had a peak of 115 unique visitors. The normal was around 20-30 unique visitors a day, and the majority of traffic source was from the United States.

In conclusion, the contest had a positive effect on the blog. I reached 32 rss subscribers last week, the unique visitors per day has substantially increased, even after the contest ended

The only negative aspect it’s that with the increase in traffic there hasn’t been an increase in revenue.  But for now my main interest is increase traffic. Let’s see how does this continues. But one thing is for sure. More contests will happen
