First time visitors will like what they see and subscribe or bookmark your site.<BR/><BR/>When I have a high traffic day based on content I do see a residual affect that lasts for several days. When I see that happening, I try to post some great follow up stuff so that new "return" readers will see the value of continuing to return to my site.Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06452027893718928662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646050951626315427.post-28484370021665267862008-11-17T17:21:00.000-05:002008-11-17T17:21:00.000-05:00I found the poll really helpful and have actually started tracking my traffic since then. I've only gone back a couple of weeks (as I changed blog address in Sept) and am looking at high traffic days vs. no of unique visitors days. The next thing for me (as no pattern is emerging) is to figure out if the high traffic days are based on content or not. If I can figure that out then it may help me with the future direction of the blog. Have you got any thoughts on how content drive traffic as opposed to a certain day of the week?Louisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01504106677453816810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646050951626315427.post-58100441612273733152008-11-17T13:10:00.000-05:002008-11-17T13:10:00.000-05:00Hmmm....i never even thought about it! so i guess my answer is no - i don't save any of my posts for anything special really :)<BR/><BR/>i tend to write whatever pops into my head on that day, unless it's close to whatever i just wrote the day before or something. my big days also change a lot - Monday, Tuesday, or Wed. are usually the highest though, but sometimes Friday surprises me! maybe because i write so randomly? haha...<BR/><BR/>it's def. a good idea though!Budgets are Sexyhttp://www.budgetsaresexy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646050951626315427.post-89815409224897933992008-11-17T06:30:00.000-05:002008-11-17T06:30:00.000-05:00First, I am so excited that I found this log. What a terrific forum.<BR/><BR/>I do tend to "save" best posted for peak traffic days. I do links, guest blogs, promotional stuff on lower traffic days. I look forward to reading other responses.Nicole Felicianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12130531509965554889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646050951626315427.post-26062858532333009452008-11-16T18:22:00.000-05:002008-11-16T18:22:00.000-05:00I do tend to publish the most exciting stuff on the highest traffic days but not on purpose. It just seems to turn out that way. On slower days, I write about secondary interests to draw in a different crowd.Susiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099425493742842588noreply@blogger.com
