A personal milestone

[Inhibitor]

LagORama has reached a milestone.

For the first time, as of March 2008, my biggest traffic referral source isn't direct traffic or backlinks on other sites...it's Google.

Okay, it's a big deal to me, anyway.

Congrats!

It's a good feeling to have targeted organic traffic that seems to come at a steady pace for a set of terms; now try and expand within the niche to more and more terms. Nice work!

Considering the fact that my number 2 search term on Google (ranked by traffic referred) is "night elf porn", maybe I need to rethink my niche completely.

I made a big effort to make my site score high on the term "travel blog". I made it to page 2, but almost everyone above me are big newspapers or large corporate sites.

The number of visits I got in March from "travel blog" was a whopping 31. I think I picked a useless keyword to focus on.

However, I found that I got a surprisingly large number of visits from people looking for wallpaper. I have ONE post per month where I have a new wallpaper for download.

I only get 14% of my traffic from Google.

I've decided to just roll with it. I'm going to create a separate site just for Wallpaper made from my photos. I'm hoping to make some money on the wallpaper site as well as drive traffic to my blog.

I'd like to increase the amount of traffic I get from Google. It would be much easier than trying to link build the entire time.

I'm sorry, but that is just awesome.

No. Really.

When Wh*res of Warcraft went down, many, many WoW addicts died a little inside. You give them hope.



And congrats!

Congrats! I still haven't got any traffic from search engines...been waiting 2 or 3 weeks, but will continue to be patient!

Give it more time the search engines take awhile to begin trusting you. Keep working hard and eventually if you built a good site the search traffic wil come.
