Day 8.5 – A Little Bit Of Statistical Analysis

If you’re following this blog then you’ll know that I just posted my Day 8 information last night.  Sorry about the information on My Thirty Day Challenge…it’s a little weak for Day 8.

Anyways, I wanted to write a short article in between days because I got up this morning and took a look at a few of my stats and was BLOWN AWAY!

Thirty Day Challenge Stat Tracker

As you recall from yesterday we setup the TDC Stat Tracker to track how many clicks we get on our affiliate link.  I looked at the Thirty Day Challenge Stat Tracker and found that I already had 13 clicks to the link I setup late last night.  That’s awesome!  Unfortunately, no sales yet, but I’m not positive how quickly ClickBank updates your stats.

Google Search

The second thing I did was checked Google search to see if I had been indexed in Google.

1. I did a broad phrase match by going to Google.com and entering my keyword Dog Adoptions into the Google search box.

• I was amazed to see that my Dog Adoptions article occupied the #13 spot in the google broad phrase match!
  

1. I did an exact phrase match by going to Google.com and entering my keyword phrase “Dog Adoptions” – don’t forget to use the quotes to get the exact phrase match.

• My article, Dog Adoptions right now as we speak is in the #5 and #6 spot for the exact keyword phrase “Dog Adoptions”

Google Analytics

I’m not too sure how up to date my Google Analytics stats are, but here’s what I have so far for August 19, 2008:

Site Usage

• 49 visits
• 79 pageviews

Traffic Sources

• 40 StumbleUpon
• 9 Direct

Very exciting stuff this morning.  I’m sure Day 9 goes over some of the things I mentioned above as far as stat tracking and analysis.  I was just too excited and wanted to write something this morning.

I finally know what they’re talking about when they keep mentioning the awesomeness.  Now I’m just pulling for my first sale.

How’s everyone else doing out there?
