150 clicks in 28 days!
Google just sent me a message that I reached 150 clicks in 28 days. This is not a huge deal for some, but... for about the 6 months before this, from March 15 through December 10, I had... TWENTY-NINE.
And today, it is showing I got 23 clicks in the last 24 hours.
Now, it could be what happened in March. I had a HUGE spike (well for that time) around March 10 of 12 clicks, then it died. It could happen again, but clarity is showing I am getting traffic from many sources. Bing, duckduckgo, yahoo and Google. So loss of google wouldn't be a huge hit.
How did this happen? Three things.
- Google let my blog out of the dog house. After 6 months, it decided it wasn't spammy
- I started a new subniche around December 10th
- I am posting at least 2 new posts a day, and trying to update at least one or two more
The result? Over the last 28 days, clarity tells me I have seen over 1800 sessions, that's about 60 a day. And over the last week? It's 540 so around 75 a day. So it's growing. And it's not just the new subniche, though it has a larger portion of the traffic. It's the whole site!
So what to do when things go wrong? Get creative! Try different things!
While my site was "dead", I was creating at least 1 video a week. I was writing a blog post as a way to outline the video. So I was always creating content.
And trying to improve, every day. That's key. Learning, trying new things. Failing and trying again. That's how you learn, that's how you grow.
Onward!

Great news, Michael.
I seem to be on the rise as well, in a similar fashion. It isn't clicks with me, but merely impressions. I've been up around 800% in the last 28 days.
My clicks for the same period is 8!!! I hope the clicks will follow the impressions.
Well done again and I hope this will be a serious uptrend which continues for you.

Yes a lot of us have seen something like that since mid December. On 12/10 I had 0 clicks and one impression. Yesterday 22 clicks and 1178 impressions.
I had 197 clicks on Google for the last 28 days as of yesterday. I expect it will keep rising given I had virtually no clicks between 12/10 and 12/17 then level off at somewhere between 300-400 clicks in 28 days.
I love this and your dedicating to not through in the towel. Thanks for sharing your success with us.
Nice post, very motivating.
For some time now my site been having issues that even site support can't seem to solve.
This post gives me hope.
Thank you.

Somethings are out of everyone's control. I subscribe to another group where the head of that group had lost 90% of his traffic. His solution was to hit the most ridiculous long tail keywords he could think of. Result was he got back about a third of his traffic in a few months.
Agree, some things are out of our control.
I'm trying to start over by building a new site on WA Hubs.
There's no guidance there for my situation either, but I will soldier on.
Glad things worked for your group.
straight up! nicely done, i'm right behind you... not in numbers yet, but with willingness to press forward and never give up. Thanks for the inspiration!

Good morning Michael,
It's always good to see our website clicks going up, it's better than the other way however small the increase might be.
Let's hope that Google is sorting out the genuine websites from the spamming websites. Personally, with all the AI content that suddenly hit Google, I don't think they really knew what to do!
It's great that you are writing two blog posts a day, that's very good going, Bravo to that. Let's hope that your clicks keep going up.
All the best.
Roy
Yes all we can do is try, learn, pivot!
Wise words, Michael!
