more and more I begin to appreciate the value of writing the content yourself…. no duplicate penalty, it gets indexed fast, and most importantly, you get traffic from it…

Good for you John. My sites do not get too many visitors sent by Google. I will now start writing my own content (so far I was buying the PLR with little success) and see if this will make a difference.

You are an inspiration

I am too cheap to get a real .com address… yahoo won’t even let me add my blogger account to their search engine. Perhaps they just really dislike blogs and factor that into their rankings. Although since johnchow.com is a .com address it would be hard to distinguish it as a blog. Yahoo perhaps places a lower value on the links to this site causeing its page rank to drop.

My site also has at least 80% of all search referrals from Google, I don’t really find this too surprising as SEO related searches are going to come from more technical users who are more likely to use Google.

[...] A webmaster’s look at the dominance of the Google search engine. Nelson/NetRating says Google owns 50% of all searches, but I’ve yet to a see a site where Google accounts for less than 80% of all search traffic.

[...] Digg-bait master John Chow even asked if there was any other significant source of search engine traffic. Short answer: no. I take that to mean that Google is doing a better job at creating relevant links to content that matters. They don’t just search blogs, then search the entire web. [...]
