Blogging For Search Engine?

woopraWoopra is a web analytic tool that allows you to see live stats of your site. I signed up for Woopra a while ago and tried using it, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get it to work in China thanks to the Great Firewall.

Tom Johnson wrote a post about his experience using Woopra. He had some interesting insights to share about Woopra’s analysis of his blog stats, which confirmed my own analysis of Shanghai Tech Writer using Google Analytics.

  1. Search engines produce the majority of blog traffic. Actually, I’ve been having some indexing problem recently so I get more traffic from referrals like WriterRiver, StumbleUpon, and Digg.
  2. Average time spent on Shanghai Tech Writer per visitor is about 3 minutes or 2.4 page views.
  3. More than half of the visitors are first time visitors and most likely, they won’t revisit again.
  4. Posts with the most page view are not always the best posts.
  5. A lot of traffic comes from a number of keywords and a few that are completely irrelevant.
  6. Half the visitors are from the U.S. The rest from 50+ other countries.

    I work with Amnesty International Australia, we want writers to record Internet frustrations on The Chinese Internet Censorship Index -http://action.uncensor.com.au/cici/

At least there will be a record
