General Business: Traffic Spike for my Blog

I was checking my website stats for My Foreign Language School and I was stunned by the # of visits I received.

Since my website is a brochure for my local business I don't target nor do I normally get tons of traffic. I big day for me is 30 visitors.

I submitted an article, The Three Worst Foreign Language Learning Mistakes, to Stumble Upon and Digg. I received 66 visits from Stumble Upon and 22 from Digg with a grand total of 117 visits today.

That's 3/4 of what I usually get in a week. So anyway I don't know what the secret was this time because I've submitted articles in the past and they normally would only get a few visits.

Conclusion: Use Stumble Upon and Digg to get good spike traffic to your site.

Possible Success Factors:

- Thursday is a good day to submit
- I had a good title

An interesting article for everyone to read from Yaro's entrepreneurial blog. I couldn't find the actual article because it's from Yaro's newslette and he doesn't have it archived. Here's a link to another article that mentions Pillar Articles and Spike Articles. It's really good advice for any blogger.
