I think these are really good results, considering that your site has only be running for three days. Where are most of your visitors coming from? Have you had success with visitors coming from search engines?

no luck with search engines yet mostly form here and links from sites who have me on thier blog roll

The search engines will come with time. Since your blog is very new, it could take some time for you to become listed in search engines, but it'll happen, and then your visitor count will increase.

As long as you have some good backlinks, then you should be fine. You are doing better than I did after three days. I didn't start to see that many visitors on a regular basis until 7 months after I started.

I agree. These are really good numbers for such a new site.

I'll check again re the uploads. I'm not sure what's going on. I have it set to 1mb for images. What is the file format you are trying to upload?

@ lisa
i tried with a jpeg at 400 kb then gif at 35kb neither uploaded funny thing is they are well below the max so it maybe under the hood

i know this guy from Latvia who got 45k uniques in his first month but he bought a 3 yr old domain so i guess that what mage it that high

im aiming for at least ten - 20 k in my 1st month

Odd! I'll check again because I have both jpeg and jpg maximums set way higher than that. I've had this problem for a while so it must be something I'm missing.

*back under the hood I go* Sorry about that.

thanks Lisa your doing a great job btw

does any one know how to exclude your visits to your site in google analytics ?

TechieGuy · #9 (**permalink**) 09-03-2009, 12:56 PM

In Google Analytics you can setup a filter to exclude your IP address. I'm not proficient at Analytic filters, but I'm sure you will be able to find information on how to use them by searching in Google.

As for they guy who bought the 3yr old domain. That would probably be a good reason he had so many visitors. The older the domain, the more respected by Google. For new domains, Google will usually not list them in it's results until after a least a few months. This prevents spam sites from ranking high in Google after just starting out. Patience is key.
