Last month was a great month for traffic for Technically Easy. The months saw some record numbers in terms of traffic to this blog, which I am definitely pleased with considering the drop in traffic at the beginning of the year. Over the past six months I have seen the traffic numbers continue to climb, and it was no different in September. The year-over-year numbers were also the best I have seen in almost a year.

Traffic Stats: August 2012
Last month was a good and bad month for traffic. The good was that traffic has returned to where it was at the end of last year, which was great to see, especially with the algorithm changes by Google this year. The bad news was that there was an issue with my blog in the middle of the month, which had an impact on the traffic for two days, but the overall impact to traffic was negligible.
Traffic Stats: July 2012
Last month seemed like a turning point in terms of traffic for Technically Easy. Throughout the month I noticed that traffic was higher than it had been in previous months, especially compared to the beginning of this year. By the end of the month, the total number of visitors had once again reached 100,000 for the month.
This is a good sign as Technically Easy hasn’t received 100,000 visitors for the month since January, and since that time the total visitors each month had dropped below 90,000. I’m hoping that this is a sign of better traffic going forward.
Traffic Stats: June 2012
Technically Easy didn’t see anything too exciting with regards to traffic levels in June. The steady trend of visitors that has been seen in the past couple of months continue throughout last month as well.
While having steady traffic is great, especially with Google’s algorithm changes, I am continuously looking for ways that I can increase the number of monthly visitors. I am more focusing on diversifying my traffic sources, which seems to be a harder task for me at the moment.
Five Years Later
On June 23, 2007 Technically Easy came to life. I had been contemplating starting a blog for months before that day, and finally took the plunge by starting Technically Easy as a free Blogger blog. Just over a year later I moved to a self-hosted WordPress blog, mainly because I like the total control of all aspects of my blog that WordPress provides.
The original goal of Technically Easy was a place where I could write down any issues that I encountered while using a computer and include a solution to the issues. Over the years the blog goal of the blog has changed to discuss technology, in general, but I still like to write problem-solving and how-to posts from time to time.
Traffic Stats: May 2012
Last month traffic to Technically Easy continued to remain steady, which can be a good and bad thing. The good is that traffic didn’t decrease, especially with Google making changes to the search algorithm. The bad is that steady traffic means there was no, or very little, growth. I would still like to see a minor increase in traffic, but I realize that last month there wouldn’t be much in terms of increase.
Traffic Stats: April 2012
Last month saw traffic finally stabilize on Technically Easy after a few months of a minor decline. I was hoping to see that trend continue, and possible a little up swing as well in April, but I knew it would be a little difficult to continue the trend that I saw at the end of last year. Overall, thought, April was a good month with regards to traffic.
Traffic Stats: March 2012
The month of March saw traffic to Technically Easy continue to stabilize and also continue where February ended off. While traffic is still lower than it was a few months previous, at least it has stopped dropping and will hopefully start to increase over the next few months. March also saw the number of pageviews return above 100,000, and my visits increase to almost 90,000.
