Weekly Recap

A bit of a pitiful weekly recap, as time is still very much at a premium of late. All family members are finally back up to speed and feeling well, though, and my daily routine is getting back to its normal groove. Even when I had time to work the last few weeks I was having a hard time focusing, so not too much to show on the productivity front.

I did manage to get out a three part post on generating traffic to your site while waiting for search engine results to kick in:

• Instant Traffic Sources Part I: Forums
• Instant Traffic Sources Part II: Outbound Links
• Instant Traffic Sources Part III: Blog Comments

I also got a good bit of work done building out Vroomchatter.com, and have been pretty pleased with the traffic and results so far. That site is a good example, too, of the vagaries of the world of search engines, as for some reason it’s getting lots of Google traffic despite the fact that it’s a brand new site that shouldn’t be indexed yet. I’ve had that happen with a few new sites, that initially get indexed and get traffic despite the fact that they’d normally get sandboxed and have to wait a few months until getting fully indexed. Typically the traffic lasts for a few weeks, then they get sandboxed, so it’ll be interesting to see if the current traffic lasts.

Plan for the next few weeks is still pretty much the same old routine, as far as continuing to build out content on all the assorted sites. Hopefully I’ll be back to a more regular posting schedule, both here and elsewhere.
