Another Wordpress Blog

To get more traffic and better traffic rank I installed a Spotplex tracker ; if you want to monetize your blog, you should install it too!

1. What is Spotplex? Spotplex is a new blog ranking service that counts the number of visitors to individual blog pages. They also display which blog posts are most popular at their web site. And, guess what? Small to medium traffic blogs should have a chance to be highlighted because Spotplex will highlight your posts when the receive an unusal amount of traffic compared to the average experienced at your blog.
2. Why should you install it? Two reasons:

   Spotplex will quickly be more accurate than Alexa because it’s not based on a toolbar. When Spotplex catches on — and it will do so rather quickly — you can bet eventually advertisers will catch on and prefer Spotplex traffic ranks to Alexa ranks.

   Because it hasn’t caught on yet, it can probably bring you some traffic now! Notice today, (July 26, 2008), I’m supposedly the 400-700th ranked blog? Because I had between 10 and 13 visits since I installed the tracking script at 5 pm yesterday?

   Well… that doesn’t make me the 400-700th ranked blog. I get that rank because very few blogs are in the system.

   Though inaccurate, this ridiculously high ranking a good thing for me. As people discover Spotlex, some are bound to be curious and visit blogs Spotlex highlights. I can’t force Spotplex to highlight my blog, but with so few blogs in the system, there’s a pretty good chance they will!

3. Where should you install the Spotplex script?I advise installing the invisible Spotplex counter in your footer. Installing it in the sidebar would likely result in a higher count (because some people don’t stay at a blog long enough to load the footer.) However, you should avoid placing untested counters and traffic in footers until after you have verified they don’t slow your page load. I’ve just installed, so I can’t be sure.

That’s all for today. Good luck, get traffic, and make money!
