My traffic is flat

jkiley · 10-08-2009, 09:53 AM

I get decent traffic every day (according to google analytics about 65K users in last 30 days). About 50% is from search engines

But my problem is that it is flat. It is not dropping (thank God), but not increasing either. If I compare week to week or month to month, it is just some variation here and there, but other then that it is flat, eventhough I now have hundreds of articles on ezine. According to yahoo explorer I have 3000+ links coming in to my site.

I am doing everything I can to increase traffic but it is not working. I suppose if I stop doing anything then it will drop.

What am I missing? I have a page (which is in my signature) which has 3000+ links coming in to it but I get same 300-400 users a day to it each day for last 4 months or so. Google PR has jumped from 2 to 4 but other then that I don't see any change.

Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Thanks

You're #10 for "search craigslist", the volume is going to be at or near the top of the listings. Without sitelinks you're probably not going to take out the top 2 listings (one of them being Craigslist!), but you could be in the top 5 with more work on backlinks in a relatively short amount of time.

Is this craigslist reader just a 1 page product splash page, or is there an actual site with content built around it? I don't see a sitemap and the only real links point to other software products. Consider adding a page or two with instructions on "searching craigslist with craigslist reader", testimonials, FAQ, etc.

Keep it up, that's a good amount of traffic, flat or not.
