I do not really keep up with my website stats except through MyBlogLog. I am saddened that MyBlogLog is going away and now I have to find some other way to check on my stats.
The only website that I have that really garners any traffic is GeekyHousewife.com. There are a few blog posts that get the majority of traffic. The subjects of these posts: mosquitoes, plastic Easter eggs, and wedding gifts. The Easter egg article was one that I had written because I thought it could be useful. It is full of ideas of using plastic Easter eggs after Easter. The mosquito post is about using Listerine to kill mosquitoes. It was written as a “I read this on the Internet. Can you believe this?” Apparently a lot of people have also heard about Listerine and its rumored negative impact on mosquitoes. The wedding gifts was a post about ideas for gifts for a second marriage.
If only I was inspired with more content that people were searching for, my blogs would be popular. The little success I’ve had has made me think that keyword density and other nonsense will not make a big different in article popularity. I could be wrong. Articles I’ve written with keywords in mind never get any traffic. I just love to write about what I want to and not think about keywords or traffic. If I would just learn to concentrate more on that, then maybe all of my blogs would be more popular.
