Snapshots from AWSTATS log analyzer:

Unique Visitors

This snapshot from Awstats shows the actual results I received during this case study.

February, there were 3 unique visitors, two of which were generated by me,

and one was from a friend who just pulled the site up inhis browser so

I was sure domain propagation was taking place.

As you can clearly see, I went from ZERO visitors to 640 Unique Visitors within 7 days.

All visits were the direct result of FREE Search Engine traffic,

no paid links and no reciprocal links.

Daily Stats

*March 6 was a Sunday, which accounts for the slight dip in numbers.

Spider Visits

This snapshot reveals the amount of visits from Search Engine spiders. This site had 2,687 page hits and 106

robots.txt hits from Yahoo. THIS IS IN 7 DAYS! Googlebot shows 442 page hits and 2 robots.txt hits.

Pages Indexed

I used SEO Elite to track which pages in my site were indexed by the Search Engines.

As you can see, my site had 225 pages indexed in Yahoo as well as 200+ pages

indexed by Altavista and Alltheweb.

Keyword Traffic From Search Engines

Here's the most important snapshot of all. Why? Because it shows that my site

has 348 Keyword Phrases that were clicked at least one time in the Search Engines

(primarily Yahoo). If you think about this, you can pretty much assume that many

of these keywords are Top 10 Rankings because as we all know, almost no

one goes to page two results in the search engines when searching.

 

SUMMARY:

Pages Index in Yahoo: 225

Unique Visitors: 643

Keyword Phrases In Search Engines: 538

Total Time: 7 days
