Conclusion on my Traffic Report
Well my traffic has dropped quite a lot the last 3 months. One of the reasons for that, is that I have not been posting as many articles as I normal do. I have struggled a bit with the motivation and inspiration to come up with new ideas for blog post. That is somethings I think most bloggers experiences from time to time.
Hey Thomas,
It seems great. You are receiving the organic traffic a lot. I am sure it would boost more with the time.
People forget about the SEO but they should try to learn about it to get indexed in the Google.
Great post.
Have a nice day.

Hi Ravi

It is really big thing for me to drive traffic to my blog…!
Hi Viki
It takes a lot of hard work, but it is great when you can see that all the work pay off in the end 🙂
Hi Thomas, My traffic has dipped a bit too. I’m wondering if there isn’t a lull in the tech world. There’s always something to write about with tech, but the days of daily exciting tech news seem to be dwindling.
20% of my traffic came from social media. Pinterest continues to be a huge source of traffic for me, representing 60% of my social media traffic.
Thanks for sharing your stats, Thomas. Always interesting!
Hi Carolyn
Interesting to hear how your traffic has been lately. I am still struggling with the driving traffic from social media. I am not even on Pinterest, maybe I should create an account and see if it is something for me. Thanks for your input Carolyn.
