Since moving over to wordpress my numbers have nearly tripled. (SEO All In One Plug-in has been a huge help)
You know what else has been a huge help? You!! I found this over on Simply Stacie – and thought it was a great idea. Because let’s be real, without you (the readers) my blog would be just me talking(writing) to myself!
Blogger Appreciation Day is a monthly meme where you list the blogs that gave you the most traffic for the previous month.
Here’s how to join in:
- Go into your tracking service (ie. Google Analytics) and set the time period for February 1 to February 28.
- Find the sites that have referred readers to you and put them in order from most sends to lowest.
- Write a post (like this one) listing your top 10 referrers.
- Link that post at 3 Boys and a Dog.
- Grab the Blogger Appreciation Day picture and add it to your site.
So here are my top traffic referrals:
StumbleUpon.com 481
Facebook.com 269
Twitter.com 218
And here are my top ten blogger referrals!
Tight Wad In Utah – 141Simply Stacie – 63The Sits Girls – 60Online Sweepstakes -56
Crazy About My Baybah – 55The Blog Frog -40
Sippy Cup Mom – 28Little Yayas – 21
And then there were – 15
Everything is Edible – 14
I have over 3,000 visits from 272 referring sites! 🙂
Thanks All!!

This is a great idea! Which SEO pack have you installed? I’m looking but can see loads. I’ve got to say my traffic increased quite a bit when I moved over to self-hosted. Going to have a post up on the Mummy Bloggers Blog about that in the next few days – will let you know when it’s up incase anyone is interested.

I use the plugin All in One SEO. You can add titles, discription, and keywords to every post. The plugin SEO Smart Links – We will see how that goes… 🙂

Will have to check it out. Even just having the meta tags & description for each post is great. Which comments plugin are you using? I loved that I got a reply emailed straight to me without having to subscribe to replies.
Emily says
Reply Me! 🙂 IT is GREAT!! I think it has helped bring people back, bc they see I read and responded to their comment!! 🙂
Stacie says
Woohoo! I made the list!
That’s awesome about your SU traffic as well. I am working on mine too 🙂

Thanks for hosting!! Have a blast while you are here! The weather is supposed to be gorgeous!! Oh, and if you plan on walking the strip a lot – don’t do it in sandals or flip flops – or at least wash your feet before you go to bed – they get SO dirty here!! 1/2 price show tickets is a great way to see shows for less!!
