Free Web Traffic

The FireStats seems to be working fine so far (1 day). Traffic jumped back up. Its funny how a small script problem will drop traffic stats.  Of course we had a drop when I shut down a couple hundred spam blogs or splogs. It has been climbing slowly since. Slower now because I have put the splogs IP’s in the banned list. Firestats works great for finding the spam IP’s I noticed tonight, it looks like some of the banned IP’s are still trying to signup. Bots aren’t very smart I guess 

I will have to get tougher on the spammers as we grow, but right now they are bringing in some pretty targeted traffic. I’m sorry to say they are better at selecting tags than most.    !!! Everyone must remember the tags or search terms are how people find your copy through search engines so they are very important! They also have to be in the copy! I will work on some more posts on tag research and try to set up a live workshop if I get enough interest.

(Check out the Polls in the sidebar to the right and vote YES in the new Tags Training one if you want a live tags training.)
