I find your top search terms list interesting. It’s not the type of terms I would expect that would drive people here.

I have a do follow blog but I haven’t had a lot of people find me that way. I searched for “dofollow” and your site didn’t come up in the top 100 so I am surprised that was a top search term for you.

I was pretty nervous when I didn't think I was going to make the tops contributors list, happy that I was able to spin some comments off at the end of the week. I am finally almost caught up now. Big thanks for the link juice on my post, you rock! .-= Extreme John´s last blog ..13 of the Best Wordpress Blogging Tips of the Week =-.

Some nice posts and stats you listed above. I have not been here in a while and I guess I have loads of catching up to do.

Bounce rate is a bit of a problem with EntreCard due to users doing a “drop & run” just to gain credits, though some do take the time to read a post and I do find that using the “more” option on WordPress does improve the bounce rate, if a visitor is interested in the post then they click more and then they get the full post to read and comment on

Hi Karen, This perked up my interest. I'll have to visit the links. You have several visits from entrecard, as I do too. I have a high bounce rate however which they say is not good. I get around 90 % . What about you? How do you solve this problem? Thanks for sharing. .-= Jena Isle´s last blog ..“A Puppy, Not a Guppy” Book Contest =-.

I have been asked this before, I’m not too sure why I’ve had more visits via Yahoo than Google!

great list and review of a whole week of posts

I am interested though with you getting more traffic from yahoo search engine compared to google, which is a different case for me, with google topping more of my visits and only a very few from yahoo.

Karen I think you do not get much traffic from google, so you do not optimize your blog for google? .-= chandan@work at home´s last blog ..Useful tips for building backlink [Digg] =-.

The twitter directory list is quite nifty, I wasn’t even aware there were any yet.

I have a gravitar but it is not linked to that e-mail address. I just updated at the Gravitar site so it should show for both e-mails. .-= Ned@Baltimore Investing´s last blog ..Help Me Pick a Charity? =-.

Thanks for the tip on Yahoo sitemap. I use the sitemap plugin but Yahoo wasn't checked. Do you need the application ID for Yahoo to work? .-= Ned@Baltimore Investing´s last blog ..What is the Best Charity? =-.
