Traffic

YapYapOK Free Classifieds 227k Page 1 Google

Traffic has increased to the point that rebooting the YapYapOK Free Classifieds dedicated server has been taking place every 3 days.  We now have to address the server issue to see what's necessary to enable large amount of traffic with minimum down time.

Fortunately this has coincided with more SEO so whilst we are still on page 1 Google UK for keywords we have dropped back on Google.com so traffic is limited to those who know us or UK only.  Had we also been on the front of Google.com then we would have "suffered" an even larger server overload with more down time.

Matrica has come out of Fiverr to offer a one to one service which we are experimenting with.  I will report back on the SERP improvements and should anyone require these SEO services then I can point you in the right direction.  First I would like to see the results.

Whilst I still report on Alexa, I no-longer take it so seriously.  One of the reasons being is that I had asked 4 people to download Alexa toolbar and keep the site on as often as possible.  This alone had a monumental impact on Alexa rankings.  Now we have real traffic, real numbers of searches & page views.  Time on site is up, site speed is down and browsing has increased.  The favours we had asked are no longer in operation, its kind of laxed & we cant keep asking.  So clearly Alexa sample was hugely skewed illustrating that it is true how web companies can have great Alexa rankings over private sites.
