Weekly Implosion: Traffic, Traffic, Traffic

Written by Jason Boom on February 10, 2008 – 11:08 am

In case you didn’t catch on, traffic is the theme for this weekly implosion. I had great success early in the week with the 100 Why Not Motivators for Bloggers post. Did you check that out? I’ll give a quick rundown of the results.

Traffic Analysis on Boom The post has been viewed 605 times in only one week. That’s great! The site saw 417 unique visitors the day it went live. Mainly because it was stumbled. I received quite a few good comments on that post.

I’m averaging over 150 uniques a day, but the numbers have been decreasing. You know what the answer to slowing traffic? More great content! I have some explosive posts in mind, and they’ll be rolling out next week.

Weekly Podcast?

I’m thinking of doing my own podcast. I’m not a radio personality by any means, but I think it would be fun. I’m considering explosive commentary as we speak. I’m not quite sure though. I would like to hear from my readers. Is this something you would enjoy? I’m not talking for 60 minutes or anything — just maybe a rant or two going anywhere from five to ten minutes. I’m still considering it. Let me know in the comments if you want to hear my booming voice.

Happenings this week

I did suspend the weekly contests, so there are no winners to announce. However, everyone has a chance to win a $100. Have you left a comment? It’s that simple to enter.

I also had another installment of the Powder Keg Review series. I’m excited about this series. I think it has the possibility of becoming the most popular feature of my site. I’ll be sure to do another one real soon. I’ve actually been in the process of writing the next installment, and it should be finished for Monday or Tuesday of this coming week.

Upcoming Explosions

I have a guest post that should be published this coming week on a neighboring blog. More about that when it’s revealed. I also have been developing the Boom Shelter that you see at the top of the screen. I hope to create and develop the page over this coming week. It will house the more static elements of this site. I’m still considering what all to do there. Keep checking it out for updates.

I’ll also be working on more inspiring blog posts. I want to write more about marketing your blog as well.

So let me know what you think in the comments: should I do a podcast?

I do think you should do a pod cast- you have a lot of really relevant information here. I subscribed to this blog because I want to be able to read more, and often.

Great, Cynthia. I’m strongly considering it. We’ll have to wait to see what happens. I’m confident others would enjoy it too.

Hmmm… not sure about the pod cast but I’m loving the Boom Shelter idea! It’s always nice to have a place to go when the fallout starts falling down around our ears out here!

Hey Jason, I think a YouTube video slot would be better than a podcast. I was thinking of reviving my YouTube videos in the near future, but I’m not sure how well my subject matter will translate into videos. I’ve only done personal video blogs before!

I’m still undecided. I don’t know if I can do either with my subject matter. I was also not a speech major, so I’d probably be saying um a lot. I do have a digital video camera that I could use. I’ll think about it this week to see if its something I want to pursue.

Thanks for the comments, Evelyn and Ben.

A podcast would sure be great. It’ll give your fans a bit more fun and me too.

I think it’d be fun to call the podcast the Boombox.

I think you should aswell Only thing is how to make it regular and exciting, maybe a couple of interviews?

I use 2 actually 3 bits of software to do my podcasts but then again it’s music and not really talking. fun never the less

I have audacity downloaded and tested on my Vista machine. I couldn’t get my mic to work on my Ubuntu box, which I use most of the time. So I think I’m ready to go. I only have to come up with my first topic, which I’ll try out over the weekend.

That was the hold up for me… what would I talk about that people would want to hear? Can’t wait to see what you choose!
