How We Actually Threw Away 30 Visitors to Our Blog

We threw away 30 visitors to our blog. It was real easy and you can do it too. (I hope you see me smiling)

We posted an excellent content filled article on collage making to several article directories. We had allowed several weeks to go by without checking the statistics.

Finally, late one evening, I decided to look at all the statistics in all the article directories. Well, knock me over, the article on collage making had over 2,000 views on one of the largest article directories on the internet. It also had also been published in 16 E-zines.

We were excited. Then, I decided to peek at the website we used. There had been additional sites created that might fit in the resource page of that article. We were horrified to see a broken link. That means that those 30 clicks on that bad link were trashed. But wait it only gets better. Remember those 16 E-zines that downloaded and published the article? We wonder how many visitors tried to reach our blogs after viewing those articles all over the world.

The morale of this story is to check your links and review your article statistics on a regular basis. You don't want to throw away potential visitors to your sites. Learn from our mistake and errors. After all once you make a mistake you usually will not make it again unless your brain cells are not functioning.

The other lesson is to avoid posting an article to the directory late at night when you are tired. Write it, review it, and go to bed.

We invite you to visit
