FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?

Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.

Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.

Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.

This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.

And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

{{{HUGS}}} Thank you to all my readers for making this possible!

Building a Solo-Build-It (SBI) Website - Traffic Changes After Move To HTTPS

I don't know. I just had a look and I can't see anything wrong with your site. Well laid out, no errors in code showing up. 

Could be just too much competition in your niche, maybe? Spiritual healing type sites are pretty popular. Don't know what else it could be.

I think it would be a really good idea actually, if we did that. Everybody post their increase and decrease change stats since the https switch to compare results and see if we can figure out a pattern. That'd be really useful as we'd be able to look at each site and take notes and see if we can figure out a trend in why some sites go up in traffic while others go down.

Is it niche?

Is it layout?

Is it ad placement?

Is it page length?

Amount of photos on page?

What?

I'd love to know. This would be a great help to everyone on SBI if we could figure out what causes increases and decreases in traffic because then we could all make changes and every body improve, hopefully everybody be able to see an increase instead of a decrease.

My traffic is actually going up.

It was stagnant most of the year, but started increasing a lot after switching to https

Since the change to https, my traffic has increased (according to analytics):

• Pages crawled: 83% increase
• Appeared in search: 73% increase
• Clicks from search: 51% increase
• Pages indexed: 64% increase
• Crawl errors: 52% increase (that one is not good)
• Inbound links: 1,278 (was 400 something before https)
• Search Keywords ranked for: 350 (was 100 something before https)

Those results are from the period: October 11, 2017 to November 11, 2017 (so the amount of increase in the last 30 days). 

That's a pretty dramatic change, and the only change was switching to https on October 19th.

I know everybody says traffic goes down after the change to https, and it did the first 3 days. It went down 7%, but then by day 5 it was up by 17% and has risen ever since.

(My niche is "writing fantasy novels" by the way)

Don't know if it's connected or not, but two trends I'm noticing, is, my pages with my YouTube video daily vlogs embedded in them, rank way higher in search results, while my pages with 2,000+ word articles rank higher then my ones with -1,000 words.

Could be that Google is favoring pages with YouTube videos embedded (as Google owns YouTube that seems logical) and also favoring articles 2,000 words+ long?

Also, I noticed that, I used to embed Amazon product links in the body of the text, and those pages always ranked very low, but after I removed those links, and just put Amazon banner ads in the sidebar instead, those pages increased in rank. I'm thinking how many ads on a page vs where on the page those ads are, has some sort of effect on pagerank with Google.

Kai.... 

...maybe try moving your Amazon ads around into to different places and see if that helps? Not sure if that's a thing or not, but, seemed like for my site at least I got a rank boost after changing my Amazon ads around.

One thing I noticed on your site, I didn't see many links from one page to another?

In my own articles, each article links to no fewer than 10 other pages on my site. For example, when I write an article talking about my books, every time I say the word "wizard" I like the word wizard to my page on writing wizards.

Watch how I'm going to link to even more pages on my site in my next paragraphs...

Do you see what I just did? How I linked to the page that is on topic to the word I said? Can you see how I have now linked to 25 other pages of my site from this page here? Now normally I wouldn't put them all in one single paragraph like that. I would spread them out throughout the entire page, trying to put one link in each paragraph. I put them all in one paragraph here as an example to show you what I meant.

Did you notice how putting lots of links together in a small space of text, makes it difficult to read the text? This would be why you DO NOT put them together like that.

Also, I didn't notice you linking to other sites on topic to yours in the pages I looked at.

Not sure if it's a thing or not, but I noticed, on my pages that rank the highest, I have a lot of links out to other sites. Like, I'll do this:

I'll read an article in Forbes, about some author who self-published. Then I'll write an article for my site, which starts out: "So I just read THIS ARTICLE on Forbes and it got me thinking about..."... The words "THIS ARTICLE" will be a link to the Forbes article.

Here... I had to go look for an article about self published authors on Forbes so I could link to it and show you what I meant... I found 5 for you...

:P

When it is relevant to do so, I also put a list of on-topic links at the bottom of the article. I shall do so on this page so you can see what it looks like,

I've noticed, every time I do an article like that, one that links to so really big, big, big website, that page will rank way higher then the other pages on my site, that don't link to an outside source.

Since I discovered that, I've started using BrainStomIt to search for a keyword, then click to see the top 10 sites in Google (the link that BrainstormIt provides) and I'll go to each of those 10 pages, and I'll read the page, then I'll write a "commentary opinion article" about whatever that article inspired me to think of, and I'll link to that article from my page. Those pages always rank really high in search results.

Have you tried using BrainstomIt to find sites similar to yours and then writing articles specifically to link to them with? Google seems to like pages that do that, from what I'm seeing. Maybe you could try making a few pages like that and see if that helps?

The HTTPS Change Over - Traffic Stats 1 Month Update

• Oct 19: switched to https
• Oct 19: got/added new Google code
• Oct 19: created new Google Search Consol profile for the https url
• Oct 19: made new custom .xml/rss feed for the https version of my site (using Xml It in my SBI dashboard
• Oct 19: submitted the new .xml/rss feed to Google
• Oct 19: submitted the new .xml/rss feed to Bing (creating new profile not required)
• Oct 21: 400+ https pages reported indexed by Google
• Oct 21: 700+ https pages reported indexed by Bing

The one I highlighted, I highlighted, because I think it is the step I did, that caused me to have an increase in traffic, instead of a decrease in traffic the way many others are reporting seeing. I also think that step is the reason Google and Bing had my https pages indexed in less than 48 hours after the https change over.

Stats as of today November 28:

• Clicks from search: up 38%
• Appeared in search: up 95%
• Pages crawled: up 98%
• Crawl errors: up 57% (that's bad)
• Pages indexed: down 4% 

(those %s are according to the chart on my analytics dashboard, from the chart that shows changes for the last 30 days, with date set to show from Oct 1 to Nov 25)

• Nov 28: my site has 1,663 pages
• Nov 28: 1,160 http pages indexed by Bing (was 1,217 before the change to https)
• Nov 28: 818 http pages indexed by Google (was 845 before the change to https)

So, most of the pages are already indexed, and the few remaining should be soon, as a few more seem to be added each day.

I've not made any change in creating and updating pages. I'm still publishing 1 to 5 new pages a day, updated 1 to 3 as well.

My social network linking has not changed. I just share my new and/or updated pages on Twitter/FaceBook/Tumblr/Google+/Pinterest/Reddit(my user profile)/LinkedIn. (So 1 to 8 pages get shared per day, each page on each social media). So there has been no increase in social networking, it's just the same as usual.

Google and Bing, though they show an increase in both clicks and appearance in search results, both continue to each make up about 12% of my traffic, with the bulk of my traffic (about 70%) coming from my "notification squad" (the people who follow me on social media and arrive to check out my new pages daily, as soon as I send out the links on social media).

So, even though there is an increase in SE traffic, social media traffic is still my primary traffic source. 

If you haven't done so already, I highly recommend you go to Xml It in your dashboard and create a new custom rss feed for your site, and submit it to Google Search Console and Bing. Cause I think that's why my https pages got indexed so fast and why my SE traffic increased instead of decreased. It's the only thing I did different from my normal every day stuff, so it's the only reason I can think of to explain the results I got.

Hope that helps.

Google did say to convert to https before Nov 2017, because the were rolling out something new early in 2018, and any site not converted prior to Nov 2017 would be affected, but Google was rather vague in their announcement. So, if your site's not converted yet, and now it's 2018, that certainly could be the issue, though like Debs said, there are so many other things it could be as well.

I did notice however, that I changed to https October 19 and now 3 months later, my traffic from Google search clicks has increased 63% from what it was in September. I can't see any other reason for it other then the https change. There have been no other changes to my site, and the traffic has not increased that much from other sources (social media, Bing, etc) the big increase is only from Google search clicks itself, which indicated to me that the https conversion did affect my Google rank somehow.

ETA: I just checked. Bing reports a 9% increase since the https switch, so I've got a slight traffic increase from Bing as well a from Google since the switch.

I did not see any decrease in traffic at all after the switch, though I know other people said they saw traffic decrease. So, I'm not sure what determines why some saw a decrease and others saw an increase after the https change. I don't know how Google determines what it does to who and why.

So as of right now, January 5, 2018 I'm at:

• 63% traffic increase from Google
• 9% traffic increase from Bing

What do you want to become? 
What did you do today to step closer to that goal?
Whatever you do, be your best at it!
And remember to have yourself a great and wonderfully glorious day!
