The traffic volatility of a start-up blog

traffic stats for my blog

This is the stats over unique visitors to this blog the last month. The big spikes are due to the post about the “from mailroom clerk to CEO game from 1982.” This post was submitted by myself to fark, reddit, digg, shoutwire, joystiq and other PR & buzz sites and received some attention. If you think you have a post that will be of interest to such sites I see no problem in submitting them.

Not all hot tips from you to other sites are successfull though. My idea about selling 100 signed copies of a celebrity author’s book on eBay did not catch on. I sent some e-mails around promoting it, but no success. It was criticized for it’s unethical flavour and blatant use of child labour.  It was so bad that it did not even generate a single spark of controversy.

    I actually liked the idea of the 100 book signing thing.

    The fact it’s unpopular as a idea makes it monitize-able even if many people know about it.
