There are two posts in July 2005 gives me alot traffic in the month, along with Google Adsense income. The two posts are about Rapidshare and Harry Potter. I purposely selected the topics and wrote about them. Yes, I am naughthy. :P
RapidShare
I know the demands for free file hosting is very high nowadays. Many people want to share video files but can’t find a good(read: free) place to host their files.
I knew Rapidshare for quite some time but seldom read about it in Internet. Search for “rapidshare“, the results returned are not quite relevant to free file hosting (my post is ranked No.2 while I am writing this).
I think, “Hey, I can write something about it!”.
I did and it is a right decision. The post “RapidShare – free unlimited file hosting” is one of the hottest post in July and generate much adsense income.
Harry Potter
Believe it or not, Harry Potter does magic!
I am not Harry Potter fan, I do not read any Harry Potter book(yet). But I am excited when the “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” released. I knew many people will looking for free harry potter ebook, and it will available very soon.
(By the way, the harry potter ebook is illegal)
I am right.
The harry potter ebook is leaked in 24 hours after the official book release. I wrote about the news and published it. At the same day, I received over 20 Amazon.com orders! The post is also one of the top page that generate most adsense income.
Thought:
It is important to understand your site visitor. Know what they want and what they like. Make contents that feed their desires, and you will see increasing traffic(and income).
Please tell me what do you like to get/read from LiewCF.com. :)
You are 100% correct, I had posted an article on the PSP 2.0 firmware update and found traffic to tripple when it was hot. So yes content is king. I am no pro, but I am getting average 60 unique hits a day, not bad for less than 2 months work, (I hope). If my traffic flattens out over the next six months I will be very concerned….What is average traffic like for a newwer blog site? has blogging been over saturated ?
What do I like to read from LiewcF:
1) Adsense
2) Make money while having fun blogging
3) Blog with a clear conscience
4) Speak up and tell us what are the weak points of other sites (so that I can improve and also avoid doing those silly mistakes)
*clap clap to Professor Liew*
dude.. you got it spot on…
you are not naughty. you are smart. everyone should be like you… smart enough to write good content that will get lots of traffic and thus generate adsense income.
what i like to read your blog?about adsense and also other types of revenue earning online maybe. and lots of tech news of course.
Heh liew…this posts speaks my heart out…i learned alot from you and i don’t receive 600+ unique visitor/day in 5 months time for nothing. I get so much visitor just because i blog what reader search and what readers love to read at a time. Look at my Initial D wallpaper entry , GTA entry and Aquaria KLCC entry and many more. They are just very successful and really wrote at the right time =) Its just about how update a person is….then definately visitor will flood in.
