New blog traffic highs
I’m hardly going to call my trading education blog one of the big trading sites on the web, but it definitely is growing rather nicely. This chart from Google Analytics shows February 2007 through the end of October of this year (monthly readings).
That spike in April of this year was the result of my The Secret to Trading Success post becoming popular on StumbleUpon, generating loads of traffic to the site.
That said, though, the new high in visitors hasn’t yet produced a new high in page views.
This reflects a reductiong in pages view per visit. My thought is that this might be a function of increased search engine traffic, which definitely tends to bounce more readily than other types. For example, there were 316 hits on the search term “commercial paper”. Needless to say, a blog focused on trading isn’t going to be a rich source of information on something like that.
Even still, I’d like to improve the stickiness of the blog and get that page/visit figure back above 2.0 where it was last year.
