Half a Million Pageviews - And Not a Clue

Online Marketing Hell - Real-World Advice for Online MarketersThe Advice

Bloggers and site owners with traffic:  realize your potential.

Why?

Whenever I see a site owner or blogger who is clueless about the potential of his/her property, I feel like fallling down and weeping.  Not for them!  For me - I wish I were them.  Unlike you or I, people Yesterland has a great property - but isn't using it to its fullest.who don’t spend all their waking hours thinking about online marketing, have absolutely zero idea that their dumbass, million-hits-per-month blog about tropical parakeets receives astounding traffic that the rest of us would kill our eldest children for.

Can Cobwebs Grow on a Website?

Yesterland (#1) is just such a site.  It’s old, old…old.  Been around forever.  I remember reading this thing way back “in the day” and loving it for its astute coverage of discontinued Disney attractions.

And for years and years, Yesterland got decent traffic and…barely changed.  I remember one dry spell back in the early 2000’s when the thing never ever ever ever ever ever updated, and I figured the owner had kicked the bucket and I removed it from Favorites.

Lo and behold, its pages have been slightly updated and cleaned up (#2), with the ever-present “AdSense skid mark” down the left.

Nice Traffic, Yesterland

Quantcast tells us that Yesterland gets just under half a million page views per month (#3), and 58,000 unique.  No, not Engadget, with its 1.4 million uniques per month - but nice for a hobbyist site.  Gosh, maybe some better advertising?  Update your site more often than every 3 years?
