Blog Exchange Experiment: Week 1
The BL Blog is without any BlogExplosion hits for the next two days, so I can try to get a read on whether my page view levels have increased or not. I mentioned that I'd do this every 2500 visitors, and this was achieved in the first week (actually, almost 3500 hits were recorded from BE over the past week).
For the moment, I'll note the other methods by which I'm measuring this blog's popularity.
Comment Volumes: Experienced a huge surge upwards this week. Pre-Experiment stats: 1.00-1.29 per day. Week 1 stats: 8.17 per day.
Google Search ("Blurred Line Blog"): No significant change. Pre-Experiment stats: 25 relevant results, 631 total. Week 1 stats: 26 relevant results, 745 total.
Google Search (links to blurredline.com/blog): Slight increase. Pre-Experiment stats: 22 relevant results, 24 total. Week 1 stats: 29 relevant results, 30 total.
Technorati Search ("Blurred Line Blog"): No real change - all the new links come from myself. Pre-Experiment stats: 5 links. Week 1 stats: 8 links.
Technorati Search (links to blurredline.com/blog): Slight increase, but artificially inflated because three of the new links come from the same site. Pre-Experiment stats: 9 links. Week 1 stats: 14 links.
Emails: No change. Pre-Experiment stats: 0. Week 1 stats: 0.

I'm tempted to send you an email, just to throw the stats out. Only joking Cavan, I just couldn't resist is all. :)
Good experiment. I'm tempted to see the results too. I hope I gained a few faithful visitors of my own :) I know I've found a few pages I like! that otherwise would never have hit my radar.
Very interesting.
Thanks for the update.
