Do your blogs get more traffic than your regular sites?

In my case the answer is yes. How about you?

BingoBalls · 09-14-2007, 05:53 PM

Nope but I suspect its because I have more pages than blog posts.

obenix · 09-14-2007, 08:56 PM

Yes for me too. I think it is due to spammers...

Depend on if you promote it and update with quality content otherwise no necessary that it will get traffic more than the site that you're talking about.

One blog has become more popular, but it has better exposer. Cross marketing has brought more traffic from my Jays blog to all my other sites.

yes, traffic coming from bots

If the blog is updated regularly with fresh content, then naturally blog will get more traffic.

This seems to be a somewhat silly question. For most people it will depend on where they divert most of their energy. If they are spending most of their time writing blog posts and promoting their blog then the answer is obvious. Conversely, if the more time is spent on the web pages themselves then they usually end up with more traffic.

Well, seeing that I only have 43 Blog posts out there on others servers & they are all targeting my main site, along with the added fact that my main site is over 3,500+ pages (Only 2,000 or so indexed) with an inner blogging system for my Articles / Tutorials.... NO, My blogs do not get more traffic than my main site.

I suppose this all depends on each persons strategic marketing campaign. I found that having the Quality, Unique, Educational content on my main site encourages more Organic inbound linkage along with a more solid Public Relations concept.

I would much rather have a Direct organic inbound link pointing to my main site, rather than a middleman blog that received the Organic link & then passes a mere portion of its authority to my main site.

Do I rule out blogging in general? No, I think that blogging can prove to be a great Viable inbound links source as long as the content on each blog is unique & related to your main site. (Mainly for the Unique Domain extension pointing to you, which seems to hold more weight than a sub-page of your own directing back to your main root index.)

As you can see there are Pro's and Con's to Blogging.. Both justifiable in there own way...

If the blog has rich content then it will definitely drive more traffic.

All I can say is not at all. If you are doing blogging that actually promote your site will lead in a lot of traffic not only for your blog but to your regular site as well.
