Website Stats and Readings for June 2009
A quick look at my trading education website statistics shows that while the visits and page views have backed off from where they were a couple months back, they were still at a respectable level. There were nearly 10,000 visits and over 17,000 page views in June. Considering that nearly 60% of that traffic came from search engines, that’s not too bad.
The top 5 sources of referral traffic were:
Setting the site’s home page aside (it got nearly 10% of all page views), the top 10 most viewed pages were:
- Three Big Reasons Small Accounts Fail
- An Introduction to the Fixed Income Market
- Over Two Years Trading and Nothing But Losses
- My Top 5 Trading Books
- Trading for a Living vs. Trading for Wealth Building
- What are Your Favorite Trading Websites?
- Update on Trader – The Paul Tudor Jones Documentary
- Misunderstanding the Bid/Ask Spread in Stock Trading
- Three Ways to Know You Shouldn’t Trade
- Most Active Forex Currency Pairs
The top keyword phrases that brought people to the site were:
- fixed income trading
- best trading books
- prop trading
- paul tudor jones
- best trading book
Given that the fixed income page listed at #2 above is the top listing for the “fixed income trading” keyword phrase, it’s no real surprise when it comes to the page view frequency there. Other keyword phrases for which the site has #1 spots are:
- stock spread
- calculating relative strength
- option open interest data
- trading vs. investing
- best prop trading firms
- commercial paper trading
- mind over markets download
- nfa first in first out rule
- trading fixed income
And of course my name is #1 too. 
Some of the above phrases are really meaningless as far as I’m concerned. In need to work on improving the search positioning of more relevant pages which focus on more introductory trading elements.
This website did 1159 visits and 1798 page views during the month of June. It’s got a long way to catch up, but it’ll get there over time, and probably even further.
