Last week my blog stats provided a roller coaster ride I choose not to take.
Instead, I spent my time learning a great deal about my blog traffic. It appears my potential traffic is falling into a rabbit hole once Google Search sends it off to WordPress.
I was composing a mental letter to WordPress. I had done numerous edits. I was brought back to my senses when there was a bump in my blog traffic. My blogging world appeared to be reawakening.
Actually, the world of Uduzit began to revive at Midnight Sunday. It began to wake from a two week slumber where I had begun to feel it had fallen into a coma.
My recent traffic was literally non-existent some days. That is down from a recent high of 55 daily page views.
I can not have Google Analytics on my WordPress blog. I thought that meant I was cut off from all the Google Webmaster Tools. I was wrong.
To my amazement, all my blog keyword and Search page statistics were listed in my Google Account. It is a goldmine of information.
All you need is a Google Account to access your blog stats. I sign in with a Gmail address, and when I do, there are my blogs Google Webmaster Tools.
I see which keywords Google is using to rank my blog. I see where the people searching for those keywords are coming from. And I also see the percentages of how many of those people are clicking through to my blog.
I see that visitors who disappeared from my blog are still reaching Google. My page position is 7 or better for most of my keywords. My Google PR holds at 5.
All my Search Engine rankings are improving. Technorati moved my Authority up from 7 to 10 this week, and now ranks Uduzit at 608,266.
Uduzits’ Alexa rank moved up 25% this month. It is now 4,270,095 and moved from 4,974,124 at the beginning of June.
Note to WordPress: Nick, your email response that Uduzit is a little blog whose page rankings are falling does not seem to fit the facts. The facts are my visitors are disappearing once they leave Google.
Could they be arriving at WordPress and reaching one of the 7 pages on my blog that Google is now reporting with errors?
Hopefully, this situation is improving naturally.
It is great to see all you folks from around the world returning.
Should your blog experience a major dip in traffic, do use Google Webmaster Tools to get a clearer idea of what’s going on.
The Google statistics for your blog can hold many answers. And Google gives all that information to you for free!
