Yes my traffic report is back. I missed two months updates because i switched to getclicky for web analytics. Getclicky is good if you want to have a real time monitoring to analyse and keep track of your web traffic.

So far it’s great experience trying out different analytical tools as i have been using Google Analytics all the time. One of the main advantages is to monitor real time visitors so you can have an insight which pages attract the most page views or where your visitors come from. Do take note not to let this become a distraction for you if you keep logging in to look at your stats.

Have you tried using Getclicky before? What do you think of it?

Switching Back to Google Analytics

One simple reason, if i need to check the traffic stats in April, i need to upgrade to the premium version. By default, the free option allows you to monitor 30 days prior to the current date. Sure it has additional features that other tools do not have but i don’t actually need it. What i need is simply to know where my visitors from and how they land upon my site.

Record Visitors in May

I saw the highest number of visitors in May and that was very encouraging. Don’t let the high numbers fool you. I have yet to achieve 10,000 visitors on this site. My monthly visitors is around 1300+ (I will post the stats later) There are two important factors that contributed to this.

1. Search engine traffic

One of my post 50 Great Blogs That You Should Read and Subscribe is(till now) the most visited post in May. Majority of the traffic comes from search engine when people Google search “Great Blogs”

Everyday there are people looking for great blogs to read. I typed the terms “Great Blogs” and realized that this post ranks #4 in page 1.

It seems this is a popular term. No matter what niches are you in, i encourage you to compile a list of blogs that you follow or read and introduce them to your readers. Not only you will receive some incoming links, the bloggers whom you include may pay a visit to your blog too.

2. Stumbleupon

I don’t really have much luck on Stumbleupon but i have been seeing visitors arriving at my blog recently due to this post, 14 Type of Blog Post to Intrigue Your Visitors. I believe some of my blogging buddies may have stumble this post, thats’s why it is able to receive around 40 views. Normally i’ll be happy to get a few views. This post also rank well in social voting site Blokube gathering 14 votes.

The wider exposure has lead to more people coming from these Social Media sites and take up a bigger percentage of my May traffic.

4 Main Traffic Sources

Above are my 4 main traffic sources. As you can see direct searches form the biggest traffic source and i am pretty happy about it. This shows people are remembering Findmyblogway as a brand and they are probably my loyal readers. Thank you very much. Visitors from search engine come in 2nd as 286 visitors visit us based on various searches.

Links refer to other blogs or social voting site like Blokube, Bizsugar and Bloginteract which i submit my post to. It brings 196 visitors from all these sites. We also attract a significant number of visitors from social media sites mainly consist of Twitter, Facebook and Stumbleupon.

Number of Visitors

Here is the stats. A total of 1321 visitors visited us in May. A huge increase compare to March or even April. Our monthly visitors stands at around 700-750 range in the previous month. If you ask me what is the strategy resulting in this increase, i would say i never really do anything for the huge increase. What i can say is i wrote a few post which people like to read and post that rank well in Google.

I am not an expert when it comes to SEO. I believe it is the incoming links that cause the post to rank high.

I feel i am not doing enough, in the sense of converting my visitors into subscribers. My subscriber count stands around 40+ which is small compared to the number of visitors. I need to work hard on my content if i want it to be higher. There is no two way about it. No matter what people say, i strongly believe content is what makes you to reach your target.

I don’t really care about my Alexa ranking now. If you are interested to know, my Alexa ranking is 219,643.

I would like to apologize beforehand that my blog commenting has reduced for the past month. After balancing between family and blogging, i try to comment on a few blogs that i follow. I am please that i have better time management now. Nowadays after knocking off, i will spend some time with my son and wife. My computer will be on at a later time which i then read a few blogs and engage in some social activities.

How is your blog traffic in May? If you have done anything that saw an increase in your visitors, please do not hesitate to share with us.

Hope you guys have a great month. Cheers.
