March Traffic Levels

As you might remember, I moved my blogging activity from my Typepad account to this WordPress blog in early January. I’ve been blogging for over three years about copywriting and marketing, so it’s been interesting to monitor traffic levels on this new domain.

According to MyBlogLog, this blog received 1,338 readers in March 2008, and 2,762 page views.

But what I find most interesting is the traffic levels on my other blog (which, by the way, has nothing to do with copywriting or marketing). I started it in October 2007 as an experiment. So it had zero readers starting in October (compared to this blog, which had at least 800 loyal readers when I switched domains).

So during the same time frame (March 2008), my other blog received 2,382 readers and 4,270 page views. That’s 178% more readers!

Is my writing better on my other blog or is this merely a result of being in a bigger market?

I suspect the latter. Bigger markets have more readers.

And I’m learning different markets have different etiquette rules, different phases of sophistication, different interests, etc.

Maybe I’ll revisit traffic levels at the end of April to see if the disparity between this blog and the other one continues.
