A Follow-Up Of My Blog Following My Previous Traffic Experiment

You remember last time I wrote about Revealing My Experience With How Inactivity Affects My Blog’s Growth where I shared an experiment which is quite unique around the blogosphere and which needs a lot of guts since the ranking of my blog is at stake. But I don’t mind trying out things even if it’s hazardous for my blog. The key point is I have enough trust and conviction with Wakish Wonderz.

While this might seem quite early for a follow-up, I consider it’s important to do so right now. You might recall I said the traffic of Wakish Wonderz has rised 2 times to what it used to be before the experiment. To prove this, here’s the new stats observations:

Stats Before Experiment Starts
1) TECHNORATI: Top 98,000
2) ALEXA: Top 270,000

Stats Caused By The Experiment:
1) TECHNORATI: approximately at 450,000
2) ALEXA: At 1,040,000

Stats At The Time Of This Post
1) TECHNORATI: approximately at 295,396
2) ALEXA: 1,013,000

Net Change:
=> TECHNORATI: +155,000
=> ALEXA: +27,000

While the result above is not good enough, I think it’s just positive for this short recovering period (from the experiment). Technorati is quite good on the whole and Alexa rank really does take a lot of time to stabilize. Based on my present traffic, I expected Alexa to rise more positively, but it seems to be pretty slow to gain back in the cool ranking edge.

star Points to be noted:
=> Alexa ranking is something which needs a lot of work and patience as opposed to PR and technorati. The positive growth of alexa ranks depends primarily on the nature of your traffic. (I might write something on Alexa soon)

    It takes lots of courage to go into an experiment of this nature. It is a sacrifice to teach those who want to learn only by sight!
