JDMUniverse.com Progress

I just wanted to make a thread with ongoing progress of my site

I just installed vBSeo about 3 weeks ago.

My pageviews went up 400% and visits have doubled. I am breaking records for most registrations per day, every day so far

Here are search engine stats:

Google
128,000

Yahoo
Pages 230,646 | Inlinks (78,357)

MSN
688

Ask
1180

The site will be 7 years old in March. Forum stats are:

Threads: 87,618, Posts: 1,326,348, Members: 43,506

Hopefully as the months/years go on, I can update this thread with higher #'s

Well Miguel, it goes without saying that we love hearing about such fast results! Congratulations on your fast start.

10 Days Later. Also, I had a huge database problem and my site was down for 3 days. On top of that, my site loads slow because I am on an older server(working on moving now). I can only imagine how stats will be, once I move to a newer faster server and users stick around longer.

So far, thing ONLY thing that I would say is a downside to VBSeo, would be that it definately puts a load on a crappy server. I'm on a dedicated but, a dinosaur.

Overall, I can't believe I haven't done this sooner.

Are you on a shared server? How much traffic are you getting?

I was on a dedicated when I started this thread, An old crappy one. I am now on a shiny brandy new one and the site is now blazing fast!

As far as traffic, I had alot of outages with the crappy server so real #'s are unreliable. This month will be a slightly better guide but, November will have some real stats.

But, for reference I went from:

August: ~6000 Daily Pages 2000 Daily Visits
September: ~29000 Daily Pages 3600 Daily Visits
October: ~70000 Daily Pages 4500 Daily Visits

ALL of the above is on a crappy server that was down half the time and ran slow as crap when it was up! I can't wait to see the next few months growth!

from 6 to 70k pages a day? really?

Yup! and seriously, my site has been HURTING for the past month and a half limping on a crap server. Down half the time.

I have high hopes for the coming months.

I'm just so sad that over the past 1 1/2 - 2 years my Adsense earnings have dropped about 500% :( No clue why... Economy?

Miguel

That's incredible, SIINSI! Did you go with vbseo defaults, Brian's recommendations, or what? I'm still waiting for something to happen myself...

Thanks Johnny. I went with most if not all of Brian's recommendations. I actually noticed a change almost immediately after installing.

Miguel

are those figures from analytics or server (awstats, etc)?

How well is your long tail growing?
Measuring Your Long Tail - vBulletin SEO Forums

I'll be honest, that confuses me a bit. I guess I don't really understand it. Is it just asking how many hits and how many keywords bring traffic?

Yes, the long tail is about how many different keywords bring you traffic.

The idea is that instead of focusing on just a few keywords, you get traffic from thousands of keywords. Small amounts from each add up to significant (and more targeted traffic).

Ok I installed around the beginning of September so:

9/11/2008 to 10/11/2008
Search sent 38,510 total visits via 28,950 keywords

10/10/2008 to 11/10/2008
Search sent 76,235 total visits via 54,712 keywords

Is that what you mean?
