I’ve been specifically watching the number of unique visitors from search engines that my blog is getting over time. You would think that as more content is generated, more traffic from search engines would also be generated, right? So lets take a look at the number of unique visitors from search engines I’ve received since the inception of my blog:

Based on the chart, we can see that the number of visitors have definitely gone up since the beginning, and the trendline proves that. The problem lies in the numbers from about mid-late April through today:

We can see here that pulling this range of dates significantly changes the perception of search growth. The trendline over the last 1.5-2 months has pretty much flatlined, even though my content has doubled. I’m pretty much stuck in the 30 or so uniques per day range over this time…and I’m very curious as to why that may be?

Which Search Engines?

The only search engine pretty any sort of significant traffic has been Google. I would say that at this point, the other engines are not bringing in enough traffic to constitute even being worried about those numbers.

What Can I Do?

I’m looking to you guys for some help on this one. Do you have any recommendations as to why I may have gotten this halt in growth from search engines? Why would it not continue to grow as content grew? I can provide any other data needed, but I’d like to figure this one out. I think it would also be interesting to see what solutions we can figure out, and how it affects the bottom-line over the near future.
