Blog Traffic Plataeu
Fellow bloggers may have experience what I have now just begun to suffer from “Blog Traffic Plateauing” which is where your blog grows rapidly for a period of time and then levels off like a plateau. Ironically this effect happened at a fairly high level of viewership but locks my blog from being where I want it to be. I am trapped between 250 and 300 unique visits per day on average, and though I have the occasional spike to 3x that (my Tuesday after my Heroes posts often spike to 750+ unique in one day). I seem to be leveled off to where my analytics are showing between +/- 2% either direction for the last month or so.
This is now causing me to find new strategies and methods to market and promote my blog, as mentioned previously I am flirting with buying my way into indexing sites and engines. I don’t want to spend 30 hours per week blogging and keeping with Damien Riley’s noteworthy goal of not blogging more than 15 hours per week, I am trying to maximize my time. I can’t spend it submitting to indexes, sites and stuff, this will cost me from being able to create content. So every month I am going to put $20 of my own blog earnings back into advertising for my blog, I may purchase some PayPerPost spots soon and see how they work, but for now, buying index links seems cheapest and easiest way to blast out my site.
Meanwhile I want to redo my blog theme and make it more like a Magazine, where I can showcase and feature my latest posts from “Technology, Entertainment, Heroes and Blogging” right on the main page in a magazine type style. Instead of seeing most recent post and previous in order, I can have the most recent from each category highlighted. Before I start redoing blog themes I am finding out from IZEA and others if this type of theme is supported and still allows for blog sponsorship and opportunities. I don’t want to change my blog theme and cut off my main source of blog income as a result.
Let me know if you have any idea’s on and what tips, tricks and tactics you have tried to promote your blog. I am always looking to learn and share what I have learned with others.
