I did a double post on Sunday on my blog (two very short satire pieces) and got a personal best number of pageviews (179). Most of these came from Stumbleupon users.
I'm not sure what kind of numbers other writers are getting with their blogs but I was happy to see this result.
In the past I've been able to get over 100-pageview days but that required almost a days worth of effort, commenting and liking other blog posts.
It really can be a struggle to get noticed.
I also did some SEO work on my blog and created a sidelink for my book. I entered in various testimonials for my audiobook and lengthened the description.
It's occurred to me recently that since SEO is 'keywords, keywords, keywords' that landing pages should have an appreciable amount of text to warrant the attention of search engines and websurfers. Also, I think it's beneficial to have multiple calls to action and multiple selling points on a landing page.
All this is probably old hat and to be expected by most using the web, but I still have to learn it all as if from scratch.
