Blog Statistics Update April – May 2014

This last month we finally saw the traffic decrease I was anticipating.  You can see below that EPF’s views are down over 30%.  I actually have been thinking that the cause might not be solely my reduced posting schedule but also in large part because I’ve virtually stopped commenting on other blogs.  I don’t know if my comments elsewhere really drive much new traffic, but I think it encourages other bloggers to visit.   I messed up … Read entire article »

Blog Statistics Update March – April 2014

Blog Statistics Update March – April 2014

I actually stuck to my decision from last month to reduce my posting schedule even though it’s been really hard.  In the last four weeks I’ve written six articles and done one roundup, when it used to be twelve and four.  I miss writing as much as I used to and I definitely miss the greater volume of interactions with my commenters.  But it’s actually really good that I made the decision to post less … Read entire article »

Blog Statistics Update December 2013 – January 2014

Blog Statistics Update December 2013 – January 2014

I had hoped that this month would be the one I got ahead in my posts, and I did a little bit but now I’m right back to writing 0-3 days in advance!  I have plenty of ideas for posts still but keep putting off the ones that require more research.   It’s disappointing that EPF’s traffic is lower than it was a year ago.  Mostly I think that is from lost search engine traffic.  I need … Read entire article »

Blog Statistics Update September – October 2013

Blog Statistics Update September – October 2013

This was kind of a weird month.  Traffic was way down, but comments were quite a bit higher than usual.  I find the comments more personally fulfilling, but for general blog growth (and getting more commenters) I want traffic to increase.  Alexa also dropped a lot (that’s the desired direction) but MozRank decreased a little (not the desired direction).     Analytics Data from September 16 to October 15, 2013   People who listen to us, as of October 15, … Read entire article »

Blog Statistics Update July-August 2013

Blog Statistics Update July-August 2013

The big news for EPF this month happened just in the last week or so!  Trent from The Simple Dollar linked to two of my posts, which brought a huge influx of traffic!  Maybe a couple new commenters, too.   Analytics Data from July 16 to August 15, 2013   People who listen to us, as of August 15, 2013: RSS subscribers: 157 (-22) (I think this is part of the fluctuations that always seem to be going on!) Twitter followers: … Read entire article »

Blog Statistics Update February – March 2013

Blog Statistics Update February – March 2013

I sure am glad this month is over!  I passed my prelim on March 4 and was fairly busy and stressed leading up to that date.  Now I feel so much closer to graduation!   Unfortunately my relative absence from the blogosphere resulted in lower traffic and comments on EPF this month, but after our great Jan/Feb it’s not been too bad.  Here’s to a better next month!     Guest Posts   This month we had three guest posts from fellow … Read entire article »
