Great points. From an SEO perspective, link-building is such a great way to increase traffic. Not only does it increase traffic by referring visitors but it also makes you show up higher on Google listings. I just wrote a blog about it that emphasizes a lot of the points you just made, thought it might tickle your fancy (http://www.snageveryone.com/apps/blog/show/2348039-the-truth-behind-linking).

But either way, great a analysis on getting traffic. How many of these methods have you used?

[...] DevLounge: Calidad contra cantidad. «Las personas son como un rebaño, si me lo permites. Van donde los demás. Es como ser de un club deportivo. Lo escoges por su localización, o porque alguien ya lo hizo. Oirás decir: «Si tienes menos de 50 suscriptores, no muestres la cifra». Suele funcionar así. Si un lector que le gusta tu estilo ve que sólo tienes un puñado de lectores fijos, es poco probable que él también se suscriba». Éste es uno de los motivos por los que los blogs más veteranos se mantienen en la cima mientras la mayoría de las voces se diluyen en Technorati. Pero tú que prefieres, ¿contenido original y exclusivo o estar al tanto de lo que más se comenta en la red?. Cuestión de equilibrio. [...]

Pillar traffic is a good expression Traffic comes from ‘trafficing’. If I’m not eager on commenting on other blogs or articles – no one will know I’m out there. Well… just for starting. Thank you for this adequately compact, informative article.

I have Mint 2 running at RA Project and it’s a dream. I track feed subscribers, downloads, referrals. Definitely worth it. If only Shaun would give me a free upgrade at Ronalfy

Oh, cool. I should check Mint out for myself. I’ve explored it a little but never bought it :\

Found the answer in the Mint forums. Total uniques would be total unique people, but if you are looking at uniques for a given period of time (ie: past week), some of them can be repeated, it’s just they made their first visit to the site for that week

Depends on the tracker. I think Mint does it per day.

Oh, I thought uniques only recorded your ip once, so even if you returned every day all week, you’d still be one unique. At least I think that’s how it goes…

But whatever, it’s all good

@aj: I’m pretty sure that if I come here every day for a week, I count as 7 unique hits for that week. Having 4x more hits than uniques is still good though, because it means each user views an average of 4 pages, which is really high, and shows good pillar traffic.

@all: Thanks

Yeah, I agree. When I see us having 4 times as much total hits then uniques, I look at that like 1 out of every 4 people comes back again.
