Science of Money: Experiment One, Phase Two

Okay, its still not going as I expected, as the nature of backlinks and how much traffic they generate has changed. I assume though, each week, as the experient continues, the figures will change. But here is what I have so far.

Currently, the average post produces 2.5 new visitors to the website upon its posting. This is a 38% change from what was reported initially, and I assume the margin of error will change but become smaller until I find a good number.

The posting of 10 backlinks produced 2 hits immedietly, making the new adjusted average .3 per backlink upon initial posting. This is a 50% change as compared to the initial number.

However, the 20 links total produces 3 new hits this week. Thats .15 hit per link in a week, which is a 50% increase. However, I do think this figure is about accurate, as I expected some geometric increase as more links are cast out into the wind. This is due because the more links that are out there, in targetted sources, it increases the blog's notoriety. If you see this link here and at another associated blog, you will definately know the blog might be something your interested in, and might be more likely to click(I might refer to this as synergistic growth). Not to mention that the more links naturally also increases the Page Rank of a page.

While it might seem unusual to claim that 20 links as opposed to 10 links might show more synergistic growth, but the blog I have is in a field which isn't heavily populated. So it maintains some status.
