Ah. So the first phase of the experiment is over. The typical blog, that posts once a week, will maintain traffic of 1.2 unique visitors per day. However, you must also remember, that the vast majority of these visitors came immedietely after I had posted a story.
So for further explanation, for every post on a blog, it seems with little or no notoriety, that it will produce 5 unique visitors. However, none of these visitors converted to subscribers, though they might still be thought of as readers, none of them comment. Im supposing it takes one of three things to generate comments on a blog, either a massive amount of traffic, a very specific blog, or a contest or the like which will result in audience participation.
However, once again this is no the point of this new study. So phase two will begin as I post another story on the experiment blog. I will support it with 10 backlinks in highly targetted blogs of a similiar nature. Knowing what I do now, I will subtract 5 visitors from the total produced for today (the 5th), to account for the novelty of the new post.
Anyhow, so in summation, a new post results in 5 unique visitors. However, I assume as a blog's notoriety increases, the effects of backlinks, new blog posts, and advertising in general will increase. So thanks for tuning in!
