I suggest to go with web2.0 tactics to get the good and quick response.

Ryan,
Since Google has such a huge percentage of the market it’s natural that most search engine traffic will come from Google. There are some sites that specialize in SEO that provide information on other search engines. I would suggest doing a search for “SEO for Yahoo” or something similar. The basics of optimizing a site are the same regardless of the search engine. This post wasn’t intended to talk about how to optimize specifically for Google, it’s just that in giving the stats it’s clear that most of my search traffic comes from Google.

What’s the deal with other search engines. I get all of my search traffic from google and only a few from other engines. Is there any way to increase traffic from other search engines?

Everything I search just talks about google search.

A jump in traffic so huge based on individual writing pieces is just incredible, its really an achievement. Wish I could drive such traffic over.

Mike,
The first thing I would suggest is to link to those old posts from other places in your blog. Include internal links in your new posts when possible. Also, try to get some links from other sites to these posts.

Do you have any pointers on getting more pages indexed on a website. I have had pages indexed but then they disappear form the index. I guess I am referring to older posts. any suggestions?

I think that the real key is creating content people find valuable. Other smart actions can also make a difference (using a URL that is human and SEO friendly versus ?id=645 etc) but good content is the key. With good content links will follow. Speeding up that process is about the only thing that makes sense for most people to spend time on in my opinion – possibly commenting on others blogs, participating in carnivals, offering to guest post…

In, Web Pages Must Live Forever, Jakob Neilsen shows what happens with good content – ever increasing page views for your existing pages, year after year. You might notice that his link is bad – …981129.html still the page content makes up for that bad decision.

Keep up the good work.

Hi John.
Thanks for reading and commenting. 30% is a higher % than I have from search engines.
