I am sure I am not the only blogger that is addicted to blog stats. Earlier this year I wrote a post entitled “Addicted to blog stats? Promote your blog instead.” After this post I refrained from checking my blog stats for an entire month and used my “extra” time to be more productive and concentrate on blog promotion. That only lasted for a brief time and I am back to checking my stats several times a day. Earlier today I took a look at my entire years stats for 2009 and I was a bit surprised at the traffic sources. According to my analytics, my traffic came from 548 sources. Here are my top 10…
I also want to give a shout out to the top three referring blogs:
How does this match up with your blog traffic? What are your top sources of 2009?
Congrats, I get some visitors from SU, entrecard and google. I hope in 2010 I can increase my visitors from google search engine. I need to do lot of hard works for this, wish me luck

I have started a blog and have a few followers, but I want to increase the amount of traffic that comes to my site and I want to know how to do so.

lately i have been constantly looking at my stats to see how my site has improved, so far it did, unfortuanately last week i forgot to add the script of analytics on my headers when i changed theme.. it made my stats a flatline starting from that date… make me sick if i see those lines…

And did you spend any money on Adgitize?
@blog tactic- I do spend the $14 a month to advertise on Adgitize. The great part is that each month I am at or over $14 so it is virtually a wash and most times I make money. Basically, they are paying me to send me traffic.
Congrats Dan! Seems that Adgitize brought you the most traffic, I’ve checked out your post about Adgitize, but I lazy to work on it. I’ll really look into it and give it a try too.
Happy New Year Dan!
Cheers,
Lee

I’ve created my travel blog http://gamerkingme.wordpress.com for a few months but don’t seen to draw much traffic. I’ve submitted my blog to several search engines, take part in forums, etc.

I mean traffic that is outside your family, from other sources. I have put my blog on the search engines, submitted to a directory, and started commenting on blogs that like with a similar theme, but so far no traffic. I would just like to hear others’ experiences. This is my first time blogging.

Like to hear that you are getting highest traffic from adgitize. I have tried it, but do not work for me.
My most traffic from google and them DP forum.
.-= chandan@work at home´s last blog ..Wish you all happy 2010 =-.
Adgitize? I have never heard of it, but considering it get’s you more traffic than google, I think I am going to have to try and implement it on my blogs.
.-= Tom@High Paid Surveys´s last blog ..More Online Surveys For Cash =-.
Do you have an ebook? If yes, what is the traffic like from your ebook. Also, i see that you are receiving traffic from ezinearticles, i saw one prominent blogger said that it was not much valuable to post to ezines anymore, but you seem to have proved him wrong
.-= ppo´s last blog ..PPO Insurance and Plans and deductibles =-.
Congrats, Keep going.
For me google is doing good
.-= akm´s last blog ..WordPress Front Page Banner – Advance Tutorial [Enable PHP] =-.
I, too, had not heard of Adgitize and have to figure out what that is all about. I do get a fair amount of traffic from Google. I also get some from other blogs. Virtually nothing from Digg or Stumbleupon though I don’t usually submit my own stuff.
.-= Kidgas´s last blog ..Patience Pays Off ($5 to be Exact) =-.
Well done on your stats, lets hope 2010 is even better.
.-= David Hobson´s last blog ..Twitter excludes passwords most obvious =-.
Congratulation buddy! As far as I can remember, my top source is always Google. I will check my Google Analytics later to learn more about it.
.-= Isaac | GoBlogger´s last blog ..Why I Moved to WooThemes =-.
Congrats, that is a big success. I have not earned much from SU but a lot from Digg and Twitter. Hope to optimize other channels then
.-= Tinh´s last blog ..One Year Premium Hosting for FREE Worth $60 =-.
I a constant stats checker myself
. It’s a habit I find it hard to break out of the habit as well I must confess..
Anyway I just wanted to say I found your top 10 traffic sources list quite fascinating. Adgitize I haven’t heard of before. Will definitely have to check that out.
