A couple of days ago I mentioned I would be submitting this website to a few popular CSS Galleries. So far only one site We Love WordPress has approved the website and as expected this has caused a spike of traffic of over 800% of normal traffic on the first day.
It seems after 34 months the time has come for Firefox 3 to be released. Hopefully this should solve many of the issues users have been experiencing with the recent Firefox 2 updates.
The benefit of Firefox as a developer is that the auto install of updates keeps everyone using the browser on the same version, hopefully the move from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 will happen the same way.
Now I have completed the final tweaks on the website it is time to try and increase the incoming traffic. As part of the website build I integrated a blog to help increase traffic by providing fresh content on a regular basis. I currently write on average two posts per week; however this alone is not enough to increase traffic in the short term. To help achieve an increase in traffic over a short time period I have to look into alternate methods of traffic generation.
At present the website receives a minimal number of visitors, this means more traditional and simple methods of promotion should result in a beneficial increase in overall traffic. To start with I have chosen is to submit the website to a number of CSS Galleries, the links that these sites provide should provide quality traffic and also assist in increasing the websites ranking in the search engines. I have chosen this method as my website suits the criteria set by these galleries and I feel it is of high enough quality to be approved.
I’ve never really been an Apple fanboy but the new Apple announcements are usually rather interesting as they lead the way in portable electronics with both the iPod and iPhone. Today has come the turn of the iPhone 3G and from first impressions it appears Apple may very well take over the mobile handset market.
