What Can Blogging Do for You? Our 90-Day Blogging Challenge Results (part 2 of 3)

Share this:

What business benefits can consistent blogging deliver for a company? In my first post in this series, I described the 90-Day Blogging Challenge we created for our team over the summer.

I know what you’re thinking: That’s great, David, but how did it go???

Check Out the Results (WOW!):

With the last blog published at 4:30 p.m. on August 31 (talk about a photo finish to get an article published, Rick), we exceeded our goal of 90 blogs in 90 days, finishing with 102 articles published by 43 different team members!

So, what impact did publishing 102 articles in 90 days have on Haley Marketing and our website?

Comparing June 1 – August 31 to March 1 – May 31 we saw the following results on our website:

  • Total Pageviews increased by 7.95%
  • Total Website Sessions increased by 10.12%
  • Traffic from Organic Search increased by 3.44%
  • Direct traffic to our website increased by 25.19%
  • Sessions from Social Media increased by 45.45%
  • Sessions from Twitter increased by 64.55%
  • Sessions from Facebook increased by 32.29%
  • Sessions from LinkedIn increased by 50%
  • Traffic to individual blog articles increased by 28.66%

And that overall traffic was pushed through our conversion funnel…achieving the following results!

  • Sidebar Actions (Traffic to Idea Club Signups and eBook Downloads) increased by 47.31%
  • Call to Action clicks increased by 730%
  • Traffic to our services pages increased by 12.7%
