This is my second post for Web Traffic Updates, which I’m using to track the progress of some of my ongoing website projects.
My current projects for this case study include:

# Site 2: Personal Database & Software Blog

Highlights (positive & negative) this month are:
– Site 2: Overall Traffic Increased by 10%
– Site 3: Got first 11 Clicks from Google
– Site 5 & 6: Gained their first Google Search Impressions
Screenshots provided on traffic within this blog post are for the full month of September 2022. The next web traffic blog post will be published during the first week of November 2022.

Site #1 – Personal Blog
The website you are looking at now.
There is no aim to monetise my portfolio site here. It’s a personal space to post whatever is on my mind, and the content that doesn’t fit anywhere else.
Content –
Active Since: January 2022
Post Count: 11 (+3)
Page Count: 8 (+0)
Traffic –
Pageviews: 272 (+150)
Users: 13 (+0)
Avg. Time on Page: 00:03:46 (+00:01:15)
Google Impressions: 42 (+4)
Google Clicks: 2 (-1)


50% of this ^ traffic is likely my own.
Site #2 – Personal Tech DBA Blog
My personal tech blog, peter-whyte.com
Technical guides and posts containing information on software including SQL Server, PowerShell, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) & more.
Content –

Avg. Time on Page: 00:00:34 (-00:00:07)
Google Impressions: 227,000 (-10,000)
Google Clicks: 5,140 (-410)

I gained a good amount of users and views this month. This was from a marginal increase in traffic from Bing, as I lost a bit from Google.

Site #3 – Independent Software & Tech Blog
Site 3 is an independent technical writing space focusing on Database & Windows engineering – more or less the same content as my personal DBA blog.

As ever, most of the above traffic is likely my own seeing as the website is so new. We have our first 3 Google Search impressions below.

Site #6 – Video Content Website
A video content website – essentially a place for me to categorise and post random videos anonymously on a site. I generate AI Art for each blog post featured image, trying my best to get the image to look as relevant as possible. This is my fun site.
