given the latest Google Panda update, it is more important than ever to ensure that you can maximise visit length as this is something that is factored into the Google ranking algorithm

Bravo Yaro… excellent information presented in a fun-to-read style. There’s an old saying in advertising that goes, “The more you tell, the more you sell.”

This speaks to copy length, of course. Fact is, well-written LONG copy sells better than well-written SHORT copy. Like you said in your blog entry… when you get them involved, they’re more likely to buy.

Keep up the great work!

Success!

Just a note to encourage Benjamin to make a beginning. Camping equipment, techniques and locations change frequently. There are several different ‘styles’ of camping to consider, too.

But even these don’t begin to hint at something even more significant … your audience is ever-changing! New people are constantly coming to recreational camping and they are looking for guidance. So I really doubt if you will ever exhaust the topic and, even if you did, that would only mean that you were the final authority on much of it and all the new-comers the world over would be looking to you for guidance!

Frankly, if you do it well, I think you’ve hit on an excellent topic idea!

I operate a company, Video Openhouse (www.vopenhouse.ca), that produces video tours and provides professional photography for the real estate industry in Vancouver, BC. We stress to all our clients the importance of providing compelling, high-quality content on realtor websites. If you want to drive traffic to a website and increase visit length, have video content on your website. Currently, the Internet audience is enamoured with video. This is an opportunity to capitalize on the demand for video content on the Internet. Thanks Yaro for your articles. I enjoyed looking through your website. I will be back!

This is something I have been focusing on since the launch of my blog. I have been getting a pretty consistant 20-40 unique hits per day…but the average time a person is spending on my site is increasing, which is awesome. In august I think I was at 12% for 30min-1hour and this month currently it is 18% — I much rather focuse on those stats than the hits and such. Good article Yaro!

There is a server upgrade going on at my host which probably accounts for the downtime. It was only meant to last maybe 30 minutes max though…

Nice points Yaro. I think many people do miss the “real” stats by only looking at the unique numbers. Time spent and number of pages visited are no doubt more important … I’d rather have 100 unqiue visitors spending 5-10 minutes on my site and visiting 3-5 pages (with the higher possibility that they’ll subscribe either to the newsletter or rss feed) rather than 500 visitors staying under 30 seconds.

And these days, with so many sites/blogs doing the rounds, it’s getting harder and harder getting stickier. #5 Resources, is one I tend to go for and believe work best for most – more so if they have a tight niche.

BTW, did you know that your site was down for a good part of today.

Great advice Yaro (again!). I’m thinking about going down the road of creating a camping website with advice etc. on camping. Hopefully I could create a few interesting articles, but I’m not sure whether a blog would be appropriate?? I don’t know – I know that blogs are becoming increasingly stickier, so I’d like to have a blog included, but I just worry that I may run out of things to say, perhaps? May I also thank you Yaro, as you have taught me LOADS in the past few days, and I will continue to use your website and click any adverts that interest me! Who knows, it could be down to you that I don’t ever have to start a 9-5 job!
