500 Plus Comments, More Every Week

Back In September I had a small success with a fictional domain name that was mentioned on the telly. The domain received a few hundred hits and I made a couple of quid with a tie-up with Friends Reunited (no longer available on dgm).

So having then watched Matt Damon search for Sewell and Marbury in The Bourne Ultimatum movie I created another fictional domain. I hoped I might simply recoup the domain reg fees, though that isn’t looking likely to be honest!

What has been really interesting is the sheer volume of comments the blog has received from all corners of the globe. From Wales to Finland to China, people have taken the time to search out the site in the first instance and then to leave a comment. Comments went through the five hundred mark the other week and I continue to approve more every week.

I think what it demonstrates is that blogs can and do attract the attention of the searching public. If your blog is offering a paid-for product or service then you can benefit from the free traffic …nothing earth shattering I know, that’s why we all blog of course – we want the attention for whatever reason!

As a last example related to film/TV related content, I happened to mention Willies Wonky chocolate factory on my new chocolate site last week and I’ve had a spike in both visitors and comments over the last 7-10 days with that too. Hopefully some timely Easter sales will soon follow!
