That's a nice looking blog you've got there and I totally agree with your comments on Stumbleupon. A very large proportion of the traffic in the graphic at the start of this post was from Stumbleupon. Cheers, Martin. Thanks Kenny!

But that hasn't been my top priority goal over the past year. What I've been trying to do with this blog is to increase the proportion of traffic from natural search results. And in that respect it's been very successful. Increasing the revenue will come later, as my search engine traffic grows. As I've said a couple of times: the high volumes of traffic you get initially is bounce traffic. What you're looking for is the second wave - i.e. the traffic that comes as a result of your blog being noticed initially because of the high initial bursts of traffic. Cheers, Martin. Edwin, hi,

Having a high visist stat graph bar is great but if it's only browsers and no buyers what's the point? Just wondering…can you tell a bit about the revenue increase this brought you.

When I re-read what I wrote it does sound a bit whacky, but... The point I was trying to make is this: the Gurus (along with many thousands of people) check things like the Digg front page most days just to keep abreast of what's going on. If you can get a post onto the front page of Digg that's when it may be noticed by a Guru, who would visit in order to see what all the fuss was about. Hope that helps to clear it up! Cheers, Martin. Selif, hi,

But IMO it doesn't have the leverage that email 'word of mouth' would have simply because of the numbers. (Unless you're doing a presentation where several hundred people hear your word of mouth recommendation at the same time!) Cheers, Martin. Thanks Nadeesha,

I'm sure I can pick up a thing or two from this. By the way, I find word of mouth marketing as a viable way of viral promotion. I'm surprised by the lack of bloggers who actually use such a method. But, that's just my oinion though. Cheers! Nadeesha. Nice tips! I’m sure I can pick up a thing or two from this. By the way, I find word of mouth marketing as a viable way of viral promotion.

But the objective is to get the initial traffic noticed by a 'Guru' so that he/she visits your site out of curiosity. If he/she likes your post (or site) and links to it that will bring you a far more valuable type of traffic: their readers. That's what you're aiming for - not the initial traffic itself.
