What happens to blog traffic during a week away
After a week in the sun with almost no internet access I’m back to see what the damage has been to my blog traffic.
Feed subscribers are down by around 30 although I think this is due to the way feedburner reports numbers rather than the fact people unsubscribed(?)
Most interesting is the fact Google traffic is down 22.7% on the same period last week. Just shows the effect fresh content has on traffic.
I’m off to read a weeks worth of posts from 200+ blogs and figure out how to upgrade blogstorm to Wordpress to take advantage of the time delayed posts feature.
Normal blogging will resume later today.

I really like the idea of having posts prepared ahead of time on a make money online site and Wordpress does that just fine.
But I also like the idea of having a few guest posters and I think that is what we will do the next time we take off for more than a week.
It’s a real eye opener when you see how fast stats can drop when you’re not posting regularly.

What blog software do you use now? I assumed it was Wordpress but evidently not

David, I just wrote a quick php program myself. Wordpress didn’t have good caching a while back so it was very hard to withstand Digg.

What changed your mind about WP? Updates to WP-cache?
