Blogging Way of Life

I am using StumbleUpon for a while now and I found it a reliable source for traffic especially a boost up traffic at the first times of the page. Although StumbleUpon provides a long term traffic I never managed to get a high volume of traffic, the peak traffic I received for a page was near 400-500. The story has changed last month. I’ve published a hub 10 Science Fiction Movies Every Sci-Fi Fan Should Watch. I was getting nearly 80-90 visitors each day (which is considered as a decent traffic among my Hubs.) Most of my traffic was from StumbleUpon and I was only hoping to keep the traffic steady. One day when I checked my stats I couldn’t believe my eyes. I received 4,200 visitors in a single day. The next day was even more surprising with over 10,000 visitors. The traffic decreased to 1,000 visitors in a couple of week and kept that way for several days.

When I checked for the causes of this high traffic from StumbleUpon, I saw that it was stumbled by a Power User (A user that has thousands of stumbles) has liked my page and his vote has drawn a major traffic to my Hub and the incoming traffic voted (there were many thumb downs). Despite of lot of bad feedback the traffic kept high for a week. The major effect on achieving the high traffic was creating a page which people will react. My page was a list of top 10 sci-fi movies and it’s not a surprise to see people react when their likes and dis-likes are in discussion.

The lessons to be learned from this experience:

• Being a good stumbler brings good traffic. If you use votes to express your impressions, you are more likely to attract more visitors to your Stumbled page.
• Writing on topics which people are more likely to react will attract more people. The more your topics are open to discussion the more visitors you will get.

So be a good Stumbler and give a Stumble if you favor this post

After 5 months of BloggerDollar’s birth Google Gods have awarded BloggerDollar with a PageRank of two. This blog has been built from scratch and I don’t have any previous blogging or online money making experience and seeing that this blog has been given a PageRank in such a short time is great inspiration. The Pagerank doesn’t stand for any value itself because it doesn’t just boost up the traffic. It’s just a rating of your blog in terms of number but people believe in numbers so high PR usually returns as more traffic and more ads.

I am making the most of my money from Hubpages and this blog stands for logging and sharing the ways of making money from Internet. The PageRank increase is a good award and I hope the good effort converts as more online bucks.

February has been a good month (I still don’t earn any reasonable money but I am getting a good curve so there’s no reason to be pessimistic). At last I’ve passed the 15$ mark with Adsense earnings and I’ve passed 50$ on Grand Total. Google team have sent me my PIN code after 40$ so I’m ready to receive my payment when I hit 100$. I’ve also managed to sell some Amazon stuff from my Hubs. To my surprise I haven’t sold any of the items that I’ve been listing. I guess people are clicking my Amazon links and buying other items while surfing in related items in Amazon. In total I’ve passed 20$ this month.

The rise in my earnings are actually related to huge traffic I’ve received from StumbleUpon this month. I will write a detailed post about how I got a big traffic from StumbleUpon after analyzing the effects and stability of the traffic. As a result of the huge StumbleUpon traffic to one of my Hubs I received most of my earnings from Hubpages (without any effort).

Earnings for February: 20,05$
