Traffic Experiment results

Date June 3, 2008

Okay, the experiment is not over, but I have noticed a few things through the course of running an experiment for nearly three months.

Becoming PageRanked is not impossible
People are scared of linking schemes, or anything that looks like one
Bloggers who use free blogging systems do not get scared of the above point because they don’t […]

Want a PR3 Link? Because AndrewMesser.com is PR3 now!

Date April 30, 2008

Okay, before you get too excited, I am not going to be handing out links willy-nilly.  I don’t want to be penalized for participating in linking schemes.  But if you can provide my blog with something of benefit, such as a guest post, or a comment or something like that, you will receive a link […]

Traffic Experiment takes off!

Date April 21, 2008

I have been so busy since becoming engaged to be married!  I am glad there is a year before the wedding, because I don’t seem to have any free time left!
That has made it hard to provide any kind of content for this blog, or to work on my other site Ah, Mr Bond! or to […]

Traffic Experiment on first Google page!

Date April 8, 2008

After about 29 days online, my Traffic Experiment has found its way to number 2 on Google.com!

I must say that I am very pleased with that.  With a bit of luck, and a few more participants, I believe that the Traffic Experiment will start building PageRank, and that will make the links very attractive to […]

My new experiment

Date March 10, 2008

I have been busy crafting a new experiment, and here’s the World Exclusive Release!
It is called Traffic Experiment and it has begun already.
The website is fairly terse because I knocked it together quickly, but basically, if you refer traffic to the site using the link you can get from a form on the site, the […]

Benchmark February 2008

Date February 11, 2008

I am going to create a little benchmark for this blog here.  I am going to assess where I am in all of the ranks I can find, like search engines, Alexa, etc and list the results.  So here we go:
According to Alexa - Andrewmesser.com has a traffic rank of: 4,540,808, so I’ve got a […]

Okay I am going, but just before I do…

Date February 6, 2008

I was about to jump off the web for the week, but I saw in the traffic stats a lot of links from Windows Live search.  So I checked all of the search engines and I am at the following positions on search engines for search “andrew messer” as of right now (this may be wrong […]

Non-SEO update

Date February 1, 2008

Okay I’ve only been blogging about blogging lately, but seeing as there is still 45 minutes left in the first day of the second real month for this blog, I thought I should quickly go and check the search engines to see how much they love me.
Now for the search term “andrewmesser”, they love me […]

Traffic is far more important than PageRank

Date January 24, 2008

I was reading Blogosis on his current move up the Alexa rank and I realised that traffic is so much more important than PageRank.  This flies in the face of what I read on SEOnoobs about Google’s sharemarket on searches.  But I still think it is true.
(Now note that I am saying traffic is more […]

Climbing the Charts on Google - still no SEO

Date January 18, 2008

This is becoming a bad habit, I’m getting concerned about my position on Google.  At last I am on page 3, at rank 22.  Here is the snapshot from Google.com.au.

I am still only 33 on Google.com, but perhaps they haven’t crawled again yet.  Anyone know if Google crawls differently in different countries? Let me know […]
