Yesterday is the 7th month since Nothing But Random came online. I’ve been doing monthly blog stats from 1st to 4th month then I stopped because it sounds redundant seeing it monthly. Well today I decided I will do it monthly redundant or not 
.
Every month I’ll be comparing traffic from the 1st month, last month and current month. So everyone can see how’s traffic in this blog going. The categories would be Alexa ranking, Page Rank/s and some stats from Google Analytics. So let’s start with Alexa.
Alexa Ranking
1st month – 537,545
Last (6th) month – 172,789
Current month – 204,925
My Alexa ranking peaked at 152k about 3 months ago and then started to slowly go high even though my overall traffic increases. A couple of days ago it goes back up to 200k. I think the decrease in Alexa ranking is the direct result of me visiting less blogs and leaving less comments thus less bloggers (with Alexa tool bar) visits my blog too. I also getting less comments because of that. So I think I need to go back to basics and visit other blogs and leave comments more often.
PageRank
On my blog’s 2nd month, I already got PageRank 3 and it stays that way since then. I think another PR update is on the way and I wish I will retain the PR3 or better yet improved it to PR4. Aside from that, I have a few articles that gained some PageRank. Sunday Babe Miranda Kerr, Crop Circles on Google Earth, 8 ways to Improve your Alexa Ranking, 5 Proven Alexa Ranking Tips and Typhoon Ondoy, all got at least PR1.
Google Analytics on 1st, last month and current month respectively.
As you can see, Search Engine Traffic increases as direct traffic decreases which is good. Bounce rate also improved by 5 percent over last month but average time on site decreases which I think is the direct result of Stumble Upon traffic. 85 percent of my traffic is from new visits which is good and bad at the same time. Good because I’m getting new people to see my site and bad because I’m not getting much regular visitors.
So there you go, I’m will try to improve on my Alexa Ranking next month by going back to basics of visiting other blogs more often and hopefully my average time on site will improve too as I will get more visitors from bloggers who stays longer than Stumble Upon traffic.
I am seeing that you have allot of visitors from the search engine, i think that is a good think. I am curious to see how will you did after Google instant lunched.
Keep on posting articles with consistency , you will get regular visitor on your posts. Blogs are open diaries that dish up facility for all visitors to read and post comments on each post.
Bounce rate of your site is at ideal level. The ideal level of bounce rate is from 60% to 69%

Getting PR3 in a month is a very good start, to keep your alexa rank and your PR and even start to go to the next level, you have to be active, regularly post good content, visit other blogs and comment, some bloggers are kind enough to have comment URLs as DoFollow and last but not least, social networking systems and luckily, most CMS offer numerous plugins to help you with that.

Hey this is cool to see other people’s Google Analytics stats. I love seeing how other peoples sites are doing and this is pretty helpful. How do you get so much traffic from referring websites? Also, how did the Google PR increase help your SEO any? Or did it?
Thanks for posting these stats for us. Quite a lot to learn from it, for sure.

There are a number of ways, your web hosting provider should provide some sort of statistics, nearly all of them do, just have a look through their documentation. The alternative is to see if they provide raw access logs – if you can download them then you can run your own web log analysis software on the locally, try:
Pretty impressive stats graph, im not getting near that traffic. Is all the organic traffic from search engines from Google only or from other search engines as well?

I think is the direct result of Stumble Upon traffic. 85 percent of my traffic is from new visits which is good and bad at the same time.
Really Great stats! You got good visits and traffic for your site. If you want to more traffic on your site then do some SEO offline activities. You will get more benefit.
You have great content in your blog so there is no wonder why you have lots of visitors and traffic. Keep it up Z!!!
Hi,
Those are some really impressive stats, ZTX, it seems that you are making progresses and I’m not surprised – those are the progresses that you deserve and the progresses that you’ve been working hard on daily, I know exactly because that’s what I’m going through too. Keep up the good work, you’re on the right track to bigger success, thanks for sharing your Google Analytics stats – you made me go work right now, hehe.
Best regards,
Maria

Thanks a lot Maria. Yes you are right if you put some work into something then you will surely see some results. Too bad I am busy with a lot of things right now so my blog is not on my top priorities right now. Still I try to something with it every now and then.
