I’ve Sent Google More Traffic Then It’s Sent Me This Week

Thanks to the post that our writer Shaun did about interestingly shaped communities on Google maps there have been many thousands of visitors on this blog in the last week, it went really viral. Altogether the post has had over 67,000 unique visitors and many of them clicked onto the view larger map links to go and see a bigger map on Google.

I ran a report using my premium MyBlogLog account to see how many readers clicked onto the Google.com domain from this blog in the last week and then I ran one to see how many readers came from the Google.com and Google.co.uk domains, here are the results:

• This blog sent Google – 2097 visitors
• Google sent this blog – 1794 visitors

So in a bizarre case of role reversal this week I have sent Google about 15% more traffic then it sent me.

The vast majority of the Google traffic came from Google reader not from search, I wish this blog got that much search traffic.
