Yet another month has ticked by and I've been looking at different aspects of my blogs for May.I have written before about what I call the back catalogue of posts and their value. I think that last month illustrated this when I looked at the most viewed posts on various blogs.
If we take this blog, for example, out of the five top most viewed posts only one was from May and three of the others were from 2007.
It's also interesting how two of the posts started with the words How To. These are two powerful words when someone is looking for information on search engines. Here are the Top Five:
How To Make Money With Chain Letters March 2007
Lots Of Ways On How To Make Money May 2007
Money Making With Free Blogs - Part 1 March 2007
How To get 90% Discounts On Amazon Products May 2008
List Of 40 Blog Directories Offering Free Listings Feb 2008
With my celebrity blog again three of the top five most viewed posts are from last year. Because I get more traffic to the blog the value of older posts can be seen even more.
Just these three 2007 posts brought in 4460 readers, about 148 per day, during May. This is why I have said in the past that, in my opinion, a new blog should write as many (quality) posts as possible and on varied subjects relevant to their niche.
Top Five for Celebrity Insider - Photos & News were:
Paulette Dean Daly: Relationship With Roger Clemens May 2008
The Noelia Sex Video June 2007
Exclusive - Was Sarah Larson A Go Go Dancer? Sept 2007
Marcia Cross Nude And Desperate Dec 2007
Ani Lorak Ukraine's Favourite To Win Eurovision May 2008
It can be seen from the celeb blog that sex is a big influence in attacting traffic but I guess we all know this! Some of the posts aren't very long but it's really a case of giving people what they want. Sorry, I know I keep repeating this.
Most visitors, on the two mentioned blogs, went to the home page but without the back catalogue there would have been considerably fewer hits.
I'll just mention one more thing about May - my thanks to the other blogs which sent traffic to Mikes Money Making Mission. As usual it's appreciated. The Top Five for May were:
Money Money Money
Blog About Your Blog
Make Money Fa$t

Thanks to all!
Good luck for June everyone.
Mike.
