BlogSmall business, Marketing, Promotion and Web Design

The blog is, of course, much older. It’s just that I a) start taking it seriously and b) moved it to the WordPress on a separate domain from Blogger around May. And, obviously, started blogging more often. I dropped Hits from the chart because it doesn’t really give an idea of how traffic is flowing to the blog, since Hits in Awstats (that’s the package I am using) counts in all hits on the web site - search bots, pings, etc.

End of the year is a good time for such a recap. Hope the next year will bring more interesting articles and more joy to both the author and the readers of this blog.

• More fun with Alexa and stats (January 10, 2008): As any blogger I can't help but look at the stats now and then. At certain moment I realized that I don't see Alexa in list of visiting search engines. I also realized it's wrong.

• Yahoo clicks aren`t clicking (March 12, 2007): Today I got a call from one of my clients asking me to check stats with him as he is seeing certain discrepancies in Overture reports. We went in and figured that the number of clicks reported by Overture roughly 3 times larger then what is being reported by AWstats. Upon contact, Yahoo/Overture issued a [...]
• Stats, damn stats and lies. (November 8, 2007): While looking at this web site stats (and I can see many web sites stats) I can't help but notice - the top search keyword turns out to have absolutely nothing to do with this blog. The search term is - SITCOMTV.COM. Apparently, the first result leads to the post on this very blog describing [...]
• Post Halloween Web Trends (November 7, 2008): After Halloween long gone and other holidays coming on, I went through Google Trends to see what the trends say. Turns out - Halloween is the most important costume and party holiday. As you can see from the picture above, there is a very strong spike on each Halloween for all three words: "halloween" [...]

• Why .COM domain name is important (December 30, 2007): (initially this was a reply to the discussion on WebHostingTalk in regards to the .ws domain name for web hosting business web site) Running your company's web site doesn't really require .com domain. However, for marketing purposes, .com domain is almost a necessity, since most people are so much used to all domain names ending in [...]
• Updating the blog (December 20, 2007): My sincere apologies if the blog will malfunction tonight - I am installing a plug-in to list domains I have for sale and the site might be a little unstable during this time. Please bear with me.
• Network Solutions Plays It Dirty (January 9, 2008): So, after all this time it turns out to be true - someone DOES snitch domain names at the time of the search. Guess who that might be? Some anonymous hacker? Wrong! It's one of the largest domain name registrar - Network Solutions. Multiple blogs and other sources confirm that NetSol preserves any .com name [...]

• WordPress 2.3 upgrade (October 30, 2007): Apparently upgrade to WP 2.3 is much more problematic then I thought. Even though I updated the test blog first (didn't see any signs of trouble), the upgrade of this one left me without much liked plugin Ultimate Tag Warrior. Hopefully the developer will release an update soon...

• Upgrading WordPress to 2.3.3 (February 5, 2008): Looks like there is another vulnerability discovered in WordPress, that's why I have to upload all 3.1MB of files again to all the accounts I have WP installed. After backing up the account and downloading backup. Maybe I am being too quirky, but I would just post files that need to be updated - just like [...]
