Network Traffic Progress - 3 Month Review
I recently sent out my monthly traffic report to the Blogtown Press bloggers and was able to report some great news! Ever since I launched the network with my link-baiting contest and hired bloggers I’ve been able to promote and create more incoming links, which I am happy to report has helped immensely.
Below is a quick recap over the past few months of the effects the contest, hiring writers, and focusing more on link building and site promotion has had on my network. The graph below displays only the 12 main blogs within the Blogtown Press Blog Network and doesn’t include this blog “Board Shorts and Business Suits”.
As you can see the increase, percentage wise is very large. My numbers are still relatively low compared to other Blog Networks, but the possibilities to grow are noticeable. From the Novemeber Blog Network Launch to the end of last month Blogtown Press has seen a 393% increase in pageviews and a 480% increase in uniques. (Sounds much better than 3.9 and 4.8 times more visitors don’t you think 
)
As for this blog, I’ve increased my unique visitors by 293% and my pageviews by 265% since November. I really feel like I can get my pageviews up with a few quick tweaks and more internal linking, but that’s another subject altogether.
I’m going to continue to push forward with the techniques I’m using right now as well as some new ones that I inevitably learn along the way.

That’s fantastic man! I’m happy to see the progress and I’m definitely interested in seeing the earnings figures too.

[...] OK, it’s the wee hours of the morning out here in Hawaii but I have to get this posted. Several people have inquired about my earnings after I reported a 400% increase in visitors around the blog network so I can’t dissapoint “the people.” (Thanks by the way for all your support!) [...]

[...] It was interesting to see that over the first 10-12 hours of it being crazy dugg there were 1000-1500 uniques per hour. (That’ll give the network traffic a sweet boost). Then, as the article slowly made it’s way down the pages of top articles and slowly out of the entertainment section, the traffic went down with it. We’re almost back to normal traffic levels for Aloha Update. [...]

I’ve just found your blog on Yaro’s forum, and I want to start a blog network myself.
Congrats on your success.
