Congratulations to weblogian for hitting 1000 hits in a day. A feat worthy of adulation.
His post got me thinking...
What's the highest amount of hits a BC member has reached in one day?
My highest is 2,320 in one day, with an average of 200 unique visitors a day.
Who's the big daddy of the BC World? Let us bow down to the masters of BC. :-)
Love to hear what your stats are like guys.

Hi keropidark
It is not an exercise of naming and shaming. We're all here to help one another.
I checked your blog out, here are some suggestions: -
1) What is the core message of your blog?, set a topic and write specifically about that, once you have more readers, you then expand on the original subject matter.
2) More pictures in posts. Pictures paint a thousand words. In every post I write I try to include eye catching pictures. It's a great way of luring your readers to, well read the post. They will then be more prone to writing a comment.
3) Where are your social bookmarks? Addthis, stumble, technorati etc
I hope this helps, please let me know if I can be of any more assistance.
Regards

Thanks Sol, you helped me way back when I needed a layout.
1)Um,... I have no theme, it's a mixbag of my thoughts. I know that hinders but I just write what I feel.
2)I've been told pictures but to me it's distracting. I have enough things going on in the side bar. I have been trying to take that into consideration and as the consultation prize I have 1 pic for today. I made it! (squirmy smile)
3)I hear so much about stumble but what is that download thing about?
thanks for looking out -

average 3,500 a day hits, but the spec is sort of measningless, read the above link
350 uniques at each blog-
The big boys are coming out to play.
Nice stats acousticguitarist, we are not worthy :-)
Now it's time to suck your brains, and find out how we can all aspire to such dizzy heights.
Do tell...
PS I guess your subject matter really helps, guitar tuition is always a winner. btw My Brother is the only UK winner of Google's Android prize. He's developed a guitar tuition device for the mobile phone www.splashplay.co.uk -
Not big boys at all. I've thought carefully about the way to work. I've only got it about 40% right but that 40% is still an advantage.
Just go and have a good look at what I do. Whenever I change or do anything I test.

Blogger is powerful, but I just can't work in that environment. I could probably get better results with Blogger but it's messy so I don't do much there.

According to my statcounter, my average unique visits for last week was 244. My highest unique visitors in the past month was 477. I don't look at the # of hits.
@acoustic ... that's a good link, but my statcounter explains what it all means. I think most counters do don't they?-
íf you read it closely it says that one page may be made up of a squillion files
1 unique visitor would = a squillion hits
The stats I'm talking about is what you find in the control panel of a hosted site. The other stat counter on a blog would probably be a reasonably close estimate of visitors.
in conversation people interchange hits with visitors and the terminology can be misleading
-
weblogian, in your other post where you state you reached 1000 visitors in a day. Did you actually mean 1000 in a month? ref DrowseyMonkey's remark
-
Love to make that
THSI IS WHAT I SAID
Well, I know this is very very less comparing with others.1000 is a landmark for me and Iam happy that some people are visiting my blog, and some on regular basis.
I started this blog www.weblogian.com/blog on July 12 2008 and its gonna be 1 month old soon.

My apologies, either way congrats. It's a good feeling to know your blog is moving in the right direction.
-
So, if I get this right. Last week I had 942 unique visitors and 1625 pageviews. So the unique visitors is the number I really want to look at. Is that correct?
-
If anyone would offer suggestions for me as how to increase traffic, I'd appreciate it.
I'm spending a bunch of time on my posts and not getting the number of readers I'd like.
I've tried to do the before-mentioned things--just doesn't seem to be working for me.-
1. Good writing. Without it, nothing else matters
2. This is a good place to hang out and make lots of comments
3. Make sure you make lots of comments on other peoples blogs
Those are the best I can give.
Your photographs are beautiful, btw. Is there a niche market to really get a footing in first? Search for other photo blogs and focus all your comments there. -
You have a lot of wonderful photographs on your blog. I have a photoblog as well and have only now seen some traffic after joining skywatch friday and a few other things like that.
Edit: Here are the links. Just follow their instructions, put a link to your post ... and you'll get traffic. Of course, you have to visit the links too, but that's a lot of fun.

@Bradley ... the great thing about photoblogs is you don't have to write much of any content. -
More content Nina,.
You have written content for your earlier posts, however one post has Untitles for a title.
The title is THE most important thing to focus on, this is what draws people into your blog.
One of the most successful posts I wrote was all about the title and how I worded it.
Title - Could this be perpetual motion in action? - The Whipmag Overunity device.
This post alone drew many thousands of visitors. A contention and bold statement I know, but hey it worked. I got the result I wanted.
PS Beautiful pics on your blog, try to line the text up a bit more, so it's easier on the readers eye. Hope this helps

Sorry if I scared you solReka...thanks though..I blog from a feminist perspective but I cover race, class, disability as well..To me I think the key is to be passionate about what ever it is you write.
-
When I started blogging I didn't expect a lot of people to visit. I was surprised when they did and thrilled when they started commenting. It was exciting! lol And I don't do it to make money. I'd still blog if I only had a few visits a day, it's not about that ... I mean I make a fuss about it once in a while, but it's not really about that in the long run.
-
I'm around 40 - 50 visitors a day. I've been at it a month and put a few hours a day in promoting, so it is going up. I had almost 80 one day this week and was giddy the whole day.
-
Thanks for taking a look--the last few posts are mostly photos--more of my writing is in earlier posts.
I try to mix it up by posting a some which focus on more writing, some on more photos.
And I've been participating in Skywatch for about 6 months now, I think.
It's a great way to get exposure. But I'd like more visits on a more regular basis.
Maybe it just takes time. I'ma averaging between 80-90 unique visits/day.-
80-90 is pretty good going. Just think how many hits you'd get if you wrote about the pictures.
Tell people about SkyWatch, explain how, why, where you took the photos. Get the readers to interact. Would you like them to talk about photgraphy or flowers, or both?
Define your goals, stick to them and watch your site blossom :-) Excuse the pun
-

This may not be the discussion to answer this, but is anyone aware of how "Google images" retrieves images. I would assume it is linked to Blogger? So is there a way to label photos in order for google images to find them and count as a hit to the site?
I was hoping that if I improved my labeling of images, they'd create traffic, too? -
@sellytapgirl
And the big big boys are coming out to play :-)
We are definitely not worthy sellytapgirl
Looks like I might go about setting up a blog which talks about ballerinas. Trouble is I know nothing of the subject, and I'll probably get arrested for posting the wrong kind of pics :-)
2000 hits a day is fantastic. You are currently the Daddio of the BC forum. All hail our new leader :-)-
Notice the between 400 and 2000 part. EXAMPLE: I get about 2000 the day after episodes of So You Think You Can Dance, which I recap and critique. On other days, my average is 600. But Wednesdays Thursdays and Fridays are usually close to 2000. 300 is low for me. But, on some days, I'll get like 200 hits. Usually in the 400-600 range though.
I just babbled seriously, didn't I?

Thanks, Sol, I'll try to make some adjustments.
And, Drowsey Monkey, too, for the links. Sounds like fun! -
How do you guys measure hits? I have google analytics and it shows only uniques. Am I not seeing something?
-
Elaine
On some Web servers stats it will say hits, don't worry about them they are meaningless, count your visitors.
Reposted for you:
The issue with hits is a page may be made up of 50 files, people get excited about lots of and might say I got 500 hits when all it has been is 10 visitors, including their mum best friend cat, a kid and a few spammers
-
-
Yes. Hits on awstats will not measure the amount of bots (like crawling ants passing wind) you might get.
Look at the unique visitors. My hits went down when I become more focus on search engines and drawing in unique visitors; the readers however go up, which is better.
You can read from your awstats (cpanel), if you check where these visitors will come from. -
Many thanks for all your comments on this thread. It sounds like I am not alone in my endeavours for trying to having some presence in the blogging fraternity.
We all live and learn I guess. Isn't that what life's all about; learning?
Peace and love to everyone. Keep on trucking (typo), keep on blogging :-) -
Many thanks guys for the excellent feedback received in this thread. It's interesting to see how 'others' do it. In the world of blogging I find it fascinating to see how people approach the subject of building traffic to the blog.
All in all, it looks like there's a plethora of blogs out there, all with different goals and objectives. I guess this is what makes the world such a beautiful place to live. Diversity certainly is the spice of life.
Kind regards

@JohnnyV
Show off :-) I'm only kidding, they are very impressive stats, congrats. How do you find the time to manage 3 blogs - is it your day job? I love the idea of blogging about the Nintendo Wii - write content on current affairs and hot gadgets. Bravo for catching that niche.
You put the rest of us to shame :-) -
-
Well, each one falls in that range, Sol, but it's a big range...and it isn't as if one gets a lot of traffic and others less. Sometimes I'll have 1000-1500/day on a particular site for weeks at a time, other times I won't break 100 for a long stretch. I've only hit tens of thousands per day five or six times, each time targeted to a specific post.
I think consistency is probably more important than big splashes--if you have a couple of hundred predictable visitors each day with spikes from there, that probably means more than my 1200 today, 17 tomorrow kind of (non)pattern.
-
Alright, my daily averages for BlogBadly.com are:
432.24 uniques
1165.88 pageviews
7715.71 hits
My highest day was probably around 10,000 pageviews, but I'm too lazy to look.-
Howdy bud.
I have to say that I love your site blogbadly. It's well designed, the content is great and to boot, you have 157 loyal followers. Great stuff.
I'm now going to spend some time reading your blog in the futile hope of trying to find out how I can increase my earnings from 15cents a day from my blog to perhaps 50c, even 60c a day. What percentage of posts that you write are payperpost? I notice your latest post is promoting performance ads. Is this the way to go if I want to earn more from my blog?
-
-
MadameX
I can but dream of hitting tens of thousands a day. Grrrrr :-)
Could you point us to a particular post/s you wrote which has pulled in such figures. Let's see how it should be done.
I agree that spiking is something I suffer from, I average 200 uniques a day, when I post a new article then it jumps significantly (for 3 days) then back down to 200. Sigh :-( -
I think it need work hard to get more traffic. Try to get more traffic at
www.cyberhomebusiness.com/
Click on Add Your Link at leftside under Adsense. -
Just to add to the malaise that is blogging and traffic, problogger wrote an interesting post discussing how to get advertisers to your blog. They start off by stating - 'once you reach 30k a month in traffic'.... wtf
Honestly, 30k, try 300 a day if I'm lucky. What's the point I keep asking myself. I did get 5k in one day though, which was nice. Just write a blog post and call it something like - Just had an alien over for lunch - see pics, or my Dad's Obama bin laden, or something catchy, that should get the punters flocking to your blog.
I am seriously considering ditching my blog, and starting a new one. It's a great new niche, one which no-one else talks about, and it should pull in more than 4 visitors a day....
New blog topic - Making money online. Hey no-one else is blogging about it. What do you reckon guys, am I onto a winner :-)
Hey, if you can't beat 'em, may as well join them I say. -
-
Suggestion - work it! You have a wordpress[dot]com blog so put similar (related) music blogs you find on the wp tag pages on your blog surfer. Make a schedule and visit them regularly and comment. I'm thinking that it won't be long before buddypress is incorporated at wp[dot]com and that means it makes sense to get on top of the tag surfer potential you have for networking there right now.
-
Just visited your blog, so that's an average of 51 hits for today's average :-)
btw What are your keywords? May I suggest you bullet point your text for each post you write, make the reading experience more succinct and easier on the eye for the person dropping by.
PS You have a PR4 - grr, I'm not jealous... honest lol
-

About 50 per day. I am working on getting more folks but it's not working out to well. www.refrigeratorartonline.com
-
I hear you bud. It's a shame you have so few visitors, as your blog is very well done. Crisp, clean, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
One suggestion I could suggest. Being as your theme is refrigerator art, how about having the what's hot section dedicated to images only, have a virtual refrigerator there instead, and import cool pictures, products, and anything else people choose to put on the door of their fridge.
This would be a good funnel technique for drawing your viewers in.
Besides that, you are in the same boat I'm in, namely we both have niche markets.
Niche markets = small volume of visitors.
How about making money online with fridge magnets. Perhaps offer a blogging schedule fridge magnet.

This is all so new to me. I have the Blog Catalog widget that shows me who from this community visits which is fun, and I have Feedjit which shows me what countries visitors are from which is kind of interesting. I am sure the number of hits and visits are very low for me but now you have me interested in some kind of counter (why not? my ebay auctions have a counter). So, can anyone recommend a counter that is free?

On my old blog ekawaaz.wordpress.com i used to get abot 300 hits a day but now i moved to new domain www.ekawaaz.org its getting small hits as its only 3 days old. hoping some thing will trun around in few months...keeping finger cross

Where are the Darren's, Matt's and John Cow's of the blogging world?
Come on big boys, put us, the little people to shame and show us how it's really done. Don't be scared now, we won't bite... Not if you don't want us to that is :-)
*** Amendment to OP **
- How many hits per day?
- Highest number of hits in any one day?
- Highest amount earned in one day from adsense? -
Well, my new site (kixtrix.com), got 500+ visits on its first two months, and then 100 daily unique visitors on the months that followed.
Pretty cool I think. -
Far too few, less than 25 a day... But if you feel sorry for me, feel free to visit (and improve my stats!):
www.blogbert.nl
Highest number of visitors on one day was 17.
AdSense so far 11 dollar cents... (laughing all the way to the bank etc.)
Best!

I only have ~15 a day... 20 max...
Wow! You guys are pros!
Feel free to visit my site www.pinoytaiwanguide.com
I need all the experts opinions I can get
-
Checked out your blog jcreyes.
Perhaps change format of blog so that readers can view more than one post when landing on your site.
Second - ditch blogger, it's %$^$%. Use Wordpress. See other posts in BC for reasons why. There are two schools of thought regarding crapper, sorry I meant blogger.
Also, regarding your content, I am embarrassed to say that I am a Westerner. As such I would really enjoy reading about the daily life and goings on of a Taiwanese person, also the politics, oppression that you guys have to endure.

Here are my blogs and appreciate for your comment
www.ultrapixelshots.blogspot.com ---average 13 unique visitors per day
www.henrybusinessblog.blogspot.com ---average 10 unique visitors per day-
Hi Henryjoe
Checked your blog out. I have to say that it seems somewhat cluttered. You have a 50/50 split with half the content dedicated to ads, plugins and what I feel is the pointless plugin - feedjit.
If you're making money from all those ads, then great. But as you pointed out you receive 10 hits a day, so money should not be an issue for you. Focus instead on building content and targeting your keywords.
You too are also using blogger, see above comment ref Blogger vs WP.
And finally, you are targetting an extremely aggresive market - MMO. Good luck with your venture.
PS Work on you content more, your daily niche idea is simply a hoplink exercise. Most bloggers are savvy to this method of ppc.

hey, im using the 'free' wordpress blog. I'm starting to take blogging seriously now so i would really appreciate your comments.lol my first wordpress blog is fallenpaladin.wordpress.com/. I only have around 100 visitors per day. But I'm not sure if they're unique..is there a way to check how many unique visitors were actually there?
