The change happened on the 4th of June, where previously the majority of my traffic came from Google, suddenly Google started sending the site less then 10 hits a day.

Interesting referals from my old Blogspot netbook blog more then doubled, as if Google starting sending more traffic to that site, even though that site just has links through to the new Blog.

After a bit of research it looks if Google has altered it’s algorithms.  Some Bloggers have gained and some have lost out. That’s the problem of having a monopoly I guess – when it comes to Web Traffic google are out by themselves. I’m just watching to see if Traffic picks up again.

Perhaps you need to target a particular audience or you need to quote text from a site in a different language but either way there are sites that can help you.

One example of this is the Google translation service .

Its simple to use and offers translation of over 50 languages, so if you find yourself in need to translation services then this is a great tool

If offer powerful filters so that you can see results based on types of search (eg web, image etc), locality, topic and time frame.

One of the most useful tools is  that it allows you to see breakout search terms, thats search thats have suddenly gained a huge increase in popularity.

You can use Google Insights to see popular searches in your websites field, this could be an incredible tool for reaching more readers.

The general opinion across the Internet is that weekends are the quietest time for Web hits but my original investigation for Septembers traffic on Netbook-experience.com showed that Fridays were the quietest.

How that I have more data to examine, 3 months on Netbook-experience.com and 1 complete month for Techplay-experience.com I wondered if my results changed.

Here are the results:

As you can see Tuesdays and Thursdays are the quietest but Weekends continue to be amongst the busiest day.

Last night I received  my first  traffic from a Google search, 8 days after the first post was made. I suspect this would have been quicker if I had been able to put more content on line at a quicker rate.

At least this proves that the process works.

With this is mind I thought I would investigate how long it would take for Google to crawl through my blog and send me traffic if I follow these instructions right from day1.

I’ll give it a go and report back here how it goes.

One of the terms and conditions is that you need to publish a Privacy Policy on your site. If you haven’t done this before then you can view an Adsense compatible Privacy Policy Template  by clicking here.

Make sure you follow those Adsense  Terms and conditions or you might get a nasty suprise.

So using Google analytics I pulled of a report showing how many visitors visited Netbook Experience each day during September.

I’ll repeat this expercise for a month to get a better picture overall but the results for September are shown below, and show that Fridays are on average the Quietest days for my site and Sundays are the businest days.

The average number of vistitors every day in September: 

Fridays: 27.75 visitors on average
Thursdays: 30.75 visitors on average
Tuesdays: 33 visitors on average
Wednesdays: 33.4 visitors on average
Saturdays: 35.75 visitors on average
Mondays: 38 visitors on average
Sundays: 40.25 visitors on average

Originally a Blogger hosted Blog, my Netbook Experience site aims at providing Hints and Tips for getting the best user experience out of the Acer Aspire One Netbook.

Since 03/08/09 :

• Netbook-experience.com has received 1,767 hits from 1106 different visitors.
• During that time 822 hits have come from my old blog - after google un-banned me, I put links from the old site to the new site.
• Google has sent me 470 visitors directly. (Google only started sending me traffic on the 29th of August)
• Aspireoneuser.com sent me 122 hits
• getsatisfaction.com have sent me 65 hits

I use this blog to record not only my blogging process but only to write about topics which genuinely interest me, for example my posts on Terry Wogan, and I’ve noticed that these posts and articles  bring in visitors from Google, that means not only does it interest you, but it interests other people.

These readers have visited your blog and found content which interests them, that means that there’s a possibility that they will return again, it would be very unusual for a topic to interest a blog author and nobody else out there on the Internet. The more content that you write on your blog, the more content there is for for Google to see and send visitors to you.

It is important not just to blog about anything for the sake of it, blogging should be an enjoyable experience and if your content doesn’t interest you then writing it is going to be tedious, and if it doesn’t interest you then why should it interest anyone else.
