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 Pinterest Traffic: The "Take an Interest in Pinterest" Challenge

Building Pinterest Traffic: The "Take an Interest in Pinterest" Challenge

WOW... traffic from Pinterest just started flowing to my SBI site!  

I must tell you guys what happened this week...

Back in November, I think it was, I had posted here to show you guys that I had started using Canva to make my pin graphics....

I got an update on that post...

So, I started my Pin account back several years ago, but used it just to repin other people's pins. My account was maybe 5 years old and had about 30 followers and me following 1,000+ people. And never once had I created a pin. It was all me "collecting" my fave pins other people had posted. In fact the fact that I could post my own pins, never even occurred to me before this SBI thread was started!  

It wasn't until this thread started last summer, that I realized I could make my own pins. But, summer was busy for me, so I wasn't able to put into action, the things I had learned here, until October, the same month as the https change.

Now, my site is VERY text heavy and is focused on "how to write novels" articles and sample chapters of my novels. So, it doesn't lend well to pinterest, right? Which was something I had mentioned I was worried about... thinking Pinterest would never be a viable source of traffic for me, due to the lack of pictures.

Well, as a result of this thread, I ended up discovering various "quote pins" and "info graphic" pins, and one thing led to another, and I ending finding another author who had a site (hers was a Blogger blog) similar to mine. Like me she had "how to write novels" articles and sample chapters of her novels. She also had a blog post on how she used Pinterest to get traffic to her articles and showed samples of her pins.

What she did was, to make a simple pin image, that was nothing but colourful text on geometric colour blocks, made using Canva templates. They were simple, bold, and required no images. The text was simply, the title of the blog post, and the name of her blog. Nothing else.

I thought: "Hey, I can do that!" And so I did.

Since late October, Early November, I have been creating one of these images for each of my new pages, and also going back to my old pages and creating images for them as well. I now have 300 pages on my site, with pin images, slowly working towards all pages eventually having it's own image.

Here's a few so you can see what they look like:

So, now for the first time (since Oct 2017) I am using Pinterest to promote my SBI site. Every time I create a new page (or update an old page) I now send it to pinterest, via pinning the images I made for the titles. I created a board specifically for that purpose "Writing Tips For Authors".

Well, other then that. I've not paid attention to my Pinterest account. I make a page, pin it, move on, never head to my pinterest account to see what the pins are doing.

3 days ago one of my articles (an old one that never gets traffic) suddenly gets 20 views in the space of about 5 minutes. At first I assume someone tweeted it and think nothing of it. It did not occur to me that the night before, I had made a pin image for that very aticle and pinned it to my pin board.

A few hours later I'm checking my site stats and this page now has 70 views. I'm still thinking twitter at this point since most of my traffic generally comes from twitter.

I notice at this point that 2 other articles, both several years old and barely getting 1 to 2 views a month, are also fast rising in views. They too had been updated with these new text images and pinned to my board within the past few days. I still have not made the connection.

This morning my phone starts sending me notifications from Pinterest: 5 new followers, 12 saves. Then ten minutes later: 6 new followers, 30 saves.... every 10 minutes another one... then suddenly, I get one that says: 301 new followers, 1800 saves...

I'm omg! What just happened?   

I go to Pinterest... I've suddenly gone from 35 followers a few days ago, to 400+ followers this morning! And those 3 articles... each has400+ pins to other people's boards!

I head back to my SBI traffic stats... those same 3 articles each got 400+ views in the past 2 hours!

OMG! 

I've heard people talk about how Pinterest traffic starts snowballing fast, when it starts, but, I've never seen it happen before!

I've got 3 pages of my site, all of then 3+ years old and almost never getting traffic, suddenly getting hundreds of hits in a matter of hour.... BECAUSE I added a text graphic to them, and pinned them!

I don't think I've ever seen such a big boost in traffic from seemingly so little effort.

I'm definitely going to start focusing more on Pinterest now that I've seen what it can do.

Thank you for starting this thread! I don't think I ever would have started using Pinterest at all, had I not started reading this thread last summer!

Evil men go out of their way to try to drive a person to suicide.

Are you an evil man?

Are you sure you're not?

How many people have YOUR hate filled words killed?

Next time you go to do a mean thing to a fellow human, stop and really think about the consequences of your actions.

Did you ever notice how every one has a story to tell about me, yet not one of them ever speaks the truth?

What lies has YOUR gossiping tongue spread about me?

Did you know...

October 16, 2006, bomb blew up my house because of YOUR lies.

August 8, 2013, the house which replaced the one the bomb blew up, was driven over by a backhoe.

November 14, 2013, my 8 month old infant son was murdered because of your lies.

November 14, 2013, I was beaten up, paralized for 5 months, spent 18 weeks relearning to walk, I'm now crippled for the rest of my life, because of YOUR lies.

Are you proud of what you have done?

Enjoy your eternity in Hell. You earned it. You've certainly worked hard for it.
