Dead Stiff and Site Traffic
My site had the third highest number of "new visitor" activity today in its history. It was in the thousands+. (OK, this blog has only been around 3 months - but this is publicity people!)
When checking out the referring link for these mighty pilgrims, I discovered that a Google search for the words "Pope" and "embalm" in various configurations, drove the traffic.
Wowsers! I am thankful if I get 20 visitors a day! What are your secrets? I've been at this for three years but I am obviously not doing something right.
Actually I recently wrote about Mohammed Bijeh, an Iranian serial killer and there was a huge spike in my numbers for about a week.
I was excited because I got into the 90+ range in March. Then I dropped back to the 70s.
Congratulations!
