Well, you can try commenting on other blogs. Some bloggers will reciprocate by commenting back on your blog.

Anyway, December is going to be over soon!

@ goldfries
Double your average? On Christmas? You know what goldfries? You frequently give me surprises like this… I hope you remember the Photoshop edit of the Advertlets earnings amount in LYN? You nearly shocked me to death.

@ Ruchir
What I speculate from this is that people might stop visiting our blogs during this season but instead subscribing to the feeds to that they can do catchup later on.

One word: sucky.

My traffic in December dropped off totally. Comments are also down. Amazingly even though I had a traffic low, I had a high readership wise Ah well, I’m looking forward to January when it’ll pick up again (I hope so).

Yeah, surprisingly i had quite high traffic around Christmas, highest traffic and pageviews recorded on Christmas eve. Pageviews were like nearly double what’s on my December average.

Wow, that’s a good chunk from Google. My referral traffic is more than my search engine traffic.

According to Google Analytics, Google alone accounts to 38.19% of my traffic for December.

Besides that, I have content that people always come back for and / or refer to.

@ kljs
It’s the alt and title tags right? I do have those in my images but I guess I should target some good keywords to get the traffic in.

@ goldfries
When I look at your site and with you telling me that, I am guessing Google helped you a lot. Right? All those hardware reviews are hard to find (am I wrong?) since the more saturated niche is the gadget category.

Traffic’s pretty decent, even with my 2-week MIA.

I think it is the captions that did the trick….. the file names of the picture doesn’t tell too much.. or something like that…
