This is my blog traffic on a normal day:
| Day | Page Loads |
|---|
|
|
|
| Monday | 30th January 2012 | 71 |
| Sunday | 29th January 2012 | 48 |
| Saturday | 28th January 2012 | 50 |
| Friday | 27th January 2012 | 44 |
| Thursday | 26th January 2012 | 42 |
| Wednesday | 25th January 2012 | 37 |
| Tuesday | 24th January 2012 | 42 |
If, on a given day, I put up a new post, that yields a slightly higher number:
| Day | Page Loads |
|---|
| Wednesday | 4th January 2012 | 115 |
However, add a link from QueryShark into the mix on the day I announce a sale, and this happens:
| Day | Page Loads |
|---|
| Tuesday | 31st January 2012 | 2,038 |
I'm one of those new readers and I've bookmarked your blog. I'm looking forward to digging into the archives :)
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the power of The Shark. ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the traffic boost, Josin! You've earned it.
Plus, you are awesome, and that might have something to do with it. You deserve it. It's time to do a dance. Or a shot. Either/or, really.
ReplyDeleteHoly Hell.
ReplyDeleteThe Shark is awesome but everyone knows it was only a matter of time before you had a sell!
Whoa! I need that kind of traffic.
ReplyDeleteAnd, CONGRATULATIONS, of course.
I had the urge today to go back to QueryShark today and pull up the PREMEDITATED query, because I'd forgotten the title and wanted to see what happened with it. And, because I don't actually pay any attention to the "yes" list, I googled "claire dinah premeditated." This blog came up. And I am so, so excited that I'll have the opportunity to read the book whose query has been haunting me for a year.
ReplyDeleteI know! I got a shout out on The Shark's main blog and my traffic went up as well. Behold the power . . . and you deserve 1000% with your awesome book deals. Can't wait to see Premeditated!
ReplyDeleteSo that's all I have to do to get blog traffic!
