Built my first two sites at the start of this year (nothing fancy just static html/css) one I monetised with adsense the other with Amazon affilliate. I attempted to market them both by means of a couple of articles. I got distracted (and despondent) and left them to their own devices for a couple of months. The Amazon site has steadily risen through the google ranks with a page on page 1 and the home page on page 2. Traffic has steadily increased month on month (still very low volume) and there have been 3 sales recently. It's fair to say I don't really know what I'm doing but so far this seems logical - better position in google, more people look at the site.
However the second site, the adsense one has slipped into oblivion, on page 9 of search results initially, last time I looked it was on page 17. The interesting thing is the traffic is behaving in the same way, steadily building month on month ?
Initially I was puzzled by this but having considered it I guess that the traffic for this site is not coming via google but is as a result of the couple of articles I wrote.
I've looked at the stats from the hosting which go into some detail but I still can't see any way of determining the source of the traffic ?
