Boost in Web Site Traffic

by Paul Flyer

Over the last four days, the traffic on this website has doubled. Why?

I am pleased, but I have not been working as hard on this site as I have been over the summer. What has made the difference?

At first I thought it was because I had reactivated my Google AdWords account. I did this Monday October 17th. But I have received little traffic via AdWords this week, definitely not enought to account for a doubling of traffic.

Second, I realized my domain name was one year old this week. I have read that Google is nicer to “older” (one year plus) websites. Maybe this was the reason.

There was a Google PR Update this week. It started on the 19th. However, my traffic started doubling on the 18th. Maybe they actually started early.

I am betting on the later as the reason for the increase in traffic. Patience is paying off
