This blog: Search Marketing Communications generated its seventh highest month in terms of traffic during Febraury 2009 with 6.059 views.
Previously, this WordPress blog’s highest trafficked month was September 2008 with 22,897 views.
Approximately 27% as many views occurred during February 2009 as compared with September 2008.
Why the drop in traffic?
Because I switched this blog from a WordPress.com domain to my own private domain on January 28th and it has yet to get crawled and re-indexed in Google under my new domain name.
The vast majority of traffic this blog received in February 2009 came via search engines to posts written several months ago. Not a single one of my posts from February received any search engine referrals.
WordPress says it could take as long as six months for this simple change to recognized and acted on by Google.
If you are considering switching your WordPress blog to your own domain, you might think twice if you are looking to get search referrals anytime soon after the switch.
By the end of February 2009, searchmarketingommunications.com had been viewed 119,422 times since its launch in September 2006.
In its first month of existence this blog had 1,593 total views.
February 2009 traffic was approximately 4 times greater than September 2006 traffic.
