Looks like my post-Firefox 3 bump in stats is starting to come to an end for Firefox Facts. While the madness was going on (one post got up to 80+ comments!) I came up with a few tactics to try to milk the proverbial press cow as long as I could.
Watch where people are coming in. Via Google Analytics I was able to check out in nearly real time where people were coming in via search, blogs and other places and edit my content to meet the needs of the people.
Keep an eye on search phrases and the results they get. For example, if a lot of people were coming in for the phrase “firefox 3 themes” and the story they were getting was about the themes but didn’t give them much selection, I made sure I added a link to a post like this one that gave some new Firefox 3 ready themes for them to try.
Just some handy advice you might keep in mind for yourself next time you see your own web site going through a popularity surge.
