Welcome to monthly traffic update at OCAAT. This is for the month of May 2013 which saw a decrease in traffic from April 2013. April was the best month in terms of a number of page views and a number of visitors, however, May had 5% less traffic than April. I know the reason behind the fall in number, let me explain later.

I am not worried about the drop as this was beyond my control. Our hosting company HostGator really has become a pain these days. They, to the best of my ability to guess and think, reduced the server capacity allocated to this site. Which resulted in site slowness and frequent database fault.

This is a typical monthly update on blog’s progress and health. This is for the month of April, 2013. I last posted blog update in January. April marked the biggest traffic month for us,  with 102,522 page views and 73,978 unique visitors.  While we gained repeat visitors, couple of our articles remained at their top places on search engine result pages.

Needless to say, I am very happy with the progress so far. And, as always, I am thankful to you for your constant encouragement towards One Cent at a Time. I publish stats because, keeping track of up-to-date statistics helps me understand the direction this blog is going and also helps me focusing on the future content strategy.

Readers, here’s the January 2013 blog statistics. OCAAT saw tremendous growth this month. We also saw the biggest traffic day in history on January 28, 4186 page views were recorded that day. In January OCAAT had 99,366 page views in all, which is an all-time record. While we gained repeat visitors, couple of our articles got their places at the top of search engine result pages. Resulting in the huge increase in traffic compared to December 2012 numbers.

Welcome to December 2012 blog report and numbers. Last time I did this was in July, 2012. Since then a lot of things changed in my life and on this blog. I really didn’t feel the need to share updates on the blog’s progress. Rather I was more interested in sharing my personal stories. Now since the blog is in right foot and my personal life has also took turn towards normalcy, I don’t have much to share about my life.

For today, I’ll share the traffic numbers, growth rate, referral sites and top posts for the month of December. As always, I am thankful to you for your constant encouragement towards OCAAT. In case you are wondering as to why publishing traffic numbers is important, many of our readers are blogger themselves.

Traffic update for One Cent at a Time

In Terms of traffic April was OCAAT’s biggest month in its existence, surpassing March traffic by more than 20% in terms of page views. In absolute number, traffic increased by over 8000 page views, this growth is mainly due to the guest post I published on GRS blog.

After a month gap, here another monthly blog update edition. Where I talk about the growth of this blog in the past month.

Any thing that starts, grows, it is the rule of nature, it’s how the things are and it’s how it is meant to be.

OCAAT took birth in March, 2011 and growing ever since, in terms of number of visitors, in terms of number of page views and in terms of blog ranks.

Hello and welcome readers. Hope you are having a good weekend. The past week, I probably have written two of my best posts ever. Kathy, Cynthia, Joyce, and Carmen Go Black Friday Shopping and Living Well on Less Than $10,000 a Year: Habits of Skilled Visa Workers. Do visit the two links and leave your comments if you can.

These days, my first aim is to grab media attention. To grow my blog organically I would need years to get a decent visitor number. There is one way to achieve this faster, and that is by grabbing constant media attention.

I have been successful in the recent past where Consumerist, Business Insider and Huffington post mentioned my work and gave me link backs. I am getting just the curve I was hoping for. Hope it lasts, I need to sustain this momentum and there is no shortcut to writing unique content.
