Well, Profitale for example is roughly new blog. Over the past week we had some good increase in traffic.
However, how many of these actually read your blog? That’s harder to guess, Google Analytics helps a bit, and the results are not always as we want them to be.I know that you are probably thinking that most people read their blogs by using RSS Readers, but that would still cause a spike in traffic from people clicking through their reader. I have often though about this myself, even if you get a personal article in one of the top blogs, that still doesn’t mean that you will get tons of traffic cause even their readers are not reading everything.
I have the feeling that blogs are like newspapers to some of the internet users. They only read the titles, without digging into the content. I have often thought about this topic myself. Being a relatively new to blogging, trying to generate a bit of traffic and readership is quite challenging these days. Especially when we are all trying to write about bloggers that blog about other bloggers who blog about the friends of their bloggers whose aunt likes internet marketing.
Getclicky.com for examples has a nice tool to spy your visitors, following them what they do realtime. I think that Google Analytics is enough, especially the visitors loyality section.
Some measurement of this can be also the amount of comments your blog is recieving. That’s probably the most fair way to judge the real readership, but it is still not 100% accurate. Why? Well, you know that sometimes you just visit a blog and post useless comments and hope someone to bite the link to your site in that particular comment.
