Well I am done with Naruto as a topic, the website has plateaued because I rank on the first page of image search for almost every Naruto related keyword – there are no keywords left to target.

Image search is my favored traffic source for wallpaper sites because of the significant amounts of traffic is brings without too much effort. To increase traffic and revenue my options are these: expand my traffic sources, or target a more broad topic than Naruto. Since image search seems like the best traffic source for wallpaper websites I’d rather not find new and different traffic sources, so I’m going to be expanding from Naruto to Anime. Anime is the animation style which Naruto fits in to, so if my topic is Anime I can target 10 or 20 times as many keyword than I can with Naruto, as with an Anime website I can target: Naruto, Dragonball Z, Bleach, One Piece, and the list goes on.

Since I am making this change my focus will no longer be on www.narutowallpaper.biz but will now be on www.downloadanime.biz. Download Anime is an anime wallpapers website and is currently one month old, has about 700 uniques per day and is growing steadily. I am currently adding content, building backlinks, and waiting for the Google ImageBot. Prepare for another SEO case study (some time)!]]> http://www.marketinghub.info/expanding-from-naruto-to-anime/feed/ 4 http://www.marketinghub.info/finding-competitors-analytics-reports/ http://www.marketinghub.info/finding-competitors-analytics-reports/#comments Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:20:40 +0000 admin http://www.marketinghub.info/finding-competitors-analytics-reports/ filetype:pdf intitle:dashboard “referring sites” “keywords” will return roughly 1000 Google Analytics reports for various websites.

Analytics reports don’t do us much good unless they are for websites in a similar niche, so add a keyword to the end of that search to find more targeted reports, but make sure it’s not a too specific niche. Something broad like filetype:pdf intitle:dashboard “referring sites” “keywords” games is suitable. The previous search returns 6 results, of those I only read the reports of websites with lots of traffic which for this search is only two websites, and one of them is irrelevant.

With these reports you should note their most successful keywords and best referring sites. Does anybody else have any ideas for discovering competitors’ traffic sources other than Analytics and Awstats?]]> http://www.marketinghub.info/finding-competitors-analytics-reports/feed/ 1 http://www.marketinghub.info/new-banner-design-increased-page-views-per-visitor-by-20/ http://www.marketinghub.info/new-banner-design-increased-page-views-per-visitor-by-20/#comments Wed, 27 Feb 2008 13:33:36 +0000 admin http://www.marketinghub.info/new-banner-design-increased-page-views-per-visitor-by-20/ www.narutowallpaper.biz with hopes of improving the look of the site, the designer successfully made a better looking banner (I conducted a poll) but I also received something I wasn’t expecting; the page views per visitor increased from 5.5 to 6.5 overnight, and the banner is the only thing that was changed.

There was no change in traffic sources, no change in content, just a change in look and feel. An extra 1 page view per visitor multiplied by the 15,000 uniques per day that www.narutowallpaper.biz gets and I will have an extra 15,000 ad impressions per day, the banner will pay itself off in no time.

For people who are interested, following are the original and new banner designs. Here is the designer’s website.
