Happy 1 Month Birthday ComHacker!

Apr.25, 2008 in Announcements, Penetration

I just had a look at some stats (every blogger’s favorite obsession) and realized, as of today, ComHacker is officially 1 month old - and I can’t believe the response this blog has already received!

First and foremost - thank you. Thank you profusely. Thank you incessantly for these absolutely jaw dropping stats (to me, at least).

The Stats

From February 11th to March 25th, I just had a “coming soon” image for ComHacker. Honestly, I needed something to point at for the guest post at ProBlogger, because I knew it would be a big kick start for just about anything.

Interestingly enough, ProBlogger only directed a grand total of 147 visitors YTD (Google sent more traffic than ProBlogger). The real meat and potatoes has come from StumbleUpon, with 1,510 YTD uniques.

However, those 1,510 uniques isn’t even half of the total. That means someone has been spreading rumors, a lot of someones, actually - and I just want to say… THANKS!

How I Will Beat You to The Next Big Thing

I don’t know who got the bright idea to spread this nasty rumor - but everyone seems to think the only concepts worth pursuing are the ones with a lot of people searching. It’s the dumbest unwritten rule of all time.

How can you expect to represent authority and stand out if you’re not doing something original? You have to lead the pack - and I’m sorry to say, leading the pack is one heck of a lonely thing to do!

Besides, anyone with half a brain cell - even SEO pros themselves - know you can’t rely entirely on search engine marketing. And if you don’t know why yet, allow me to show you.

Back to the Drawing Board?

The numbers are down. Conversions just aren’t happening. You feel at your worst and it’s starting to affect everything you do. You want to give up, but is it really time to go back to the drawing board?

I hope not, because that is exactly where I stand right now. My problem - the ad copy is too effective!
