Thursday marked day four of this weeks social media traffic experiment. Not surprisingly traffic has slowed down, but with over 300 page views this week, the post continues to receive traffic and readers.
On Thursday afternoon I submitted the post to Fark.com and I was happy to see 8 referrals to the site yesterday. The social media sites sending traffic to the blog are:
- Stumbleupon.com - 117 Visits
- Reddit.com – 28 Visits
- Fark – 8 visits
- Digg.com - 4 Visits
- Google Referral – 3 Visit (this is for Google bookmarks)
- Indianpad.com – 2 Visits
- Newsvine.com – 1 Visit
- Grupl.com – 1 Visit
I noticed today that Google has updated its Webmaster Central with new link data. The Story of Tea blog post from last week has 63 incoming links according to Google (it has zero links when we started the experiment). That is an amazing number. When I looked at the links that Google is recognizing I see 14 links from Bibsonomy, 6 links from Digg and others from Netscape, Technorati, Del.icio.us. These are all links from trusted authorities and the Jolly Grub blog will continue to benefit from these links for the foreseeable future.
