Hit Counter: Can Decrease Your Site Traffic!!!

Fri, Apr 10, 2009

Blogging

Yesterday I was reading a post about search engine optimization. I found the post interesting. As it was a multi author blog, I felt interest about the author. I found the author’s personal search engine optimization blog from his profile.
It was really a good designed blog and was full of good content. There were around 50 posts about search engine optimization adsense and traffic. But one thing that attracted me was a hit counter. It was showing that I was the 235th visitor of that blog.
Is not it interesting? Are you getting the fact, what I am telling? Ok I am making it clear.

The number of post and hit counter made two impressions in my mind. They are-

1) He has copied the content from other blogs and the blog was a new one.

2) He has written all the post himself and he is not a good blogger.

Both the impressions are negative and I found the blog useless .That means hit counter is decreasing his traffic.
So I think using hit counter is not a good idea when it does not do any good to traffic.
Actually it is just a mental fact. So I am wishing your comment what you think about it.

Take care and keep in touch.

    Good day

    how fast a site is gaining links

    You can also try product or site testimonials which are another great source of targeted traffic.

    It will also warm up these visitors before they reach your site and they will be more receptive to any of your site’s offering; never underestimate the power of the Pre-sell.

    Build countless anchor text links through keyword rich articles, content related blogs and products that benefit from the high PR of other sites on the web.

    Hello. I think the article is really interesting. I am even interested in reading more. How soon will you update your blog?

  15. Iresha Says:

    I think hit counters are demotivating. It changes the perception of your blog. A poor hit count may subconciously affect how you see a blog eventhought the content may be great.

  16. righteous Says:

    won’t a hit counter that may be a link to another site reduce your page rank?

  17. romel Says:

    @rughteous: obviously it will share your page rank.
