This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Website Traffic Experiment

It’s been a month since the last part of my website traffic experiment. Here’s the results of one month’s work. Stumbleupon proved to be a huge help this month.

Using resources such as digg, stumbleupon, twitter, and the Blog Traffic Exchange to gain traffic, all seemed to help. Every time I wrote an article, I received a lot of traffic (notice the spikes in the graphs). The biggest amount of traffic I received was 645 visitors the day I published the gimp tutorial article. I started to see a steady increase in traffic at one point, followed by a sharp decline. When I thought traffic was dead, stumbleupon randomly decided to send 302 visitors to my site. Another reason to love stumbleupon.

Using the related tweets and related websites also seem to get a lot of traffic. Digg seems to get the least, at least for me.

I still have a those themes to update for phpbb3, drupal, and wordpress. I also have 3 more templates to finish and release. And finally, I’ve begun working on a project with two other guys and have designed a new website for a new web/iphone app development site. I’m hoping all of this (when finished) will help with the traffic as well.
