Trick or Treat Traffic - I have a Zombie blog...

Did you put up anything special for Halloween on your ActiveRain (or other) blog?  Are you getting  traffic from it? Not traffic from other members stopping by to say "great post thanks for sharing"  but traffic from people in your community?

Localism Trick or Treat Traffic - talking to the locals

Most of our Central Ohio communities had Trick or Treat last night.   Yes, I know it was NOT Halloween... but we had Beggars Night last night. Some communities have their Trick or Treat on Saturday so I will still get a bit of traffic in the next few days. 

I will miss the traffic when Halloween is over.

I put up Trick or Treat on all of my blogs... even an old dead blog (the Zombie blog) ... because I still get so much traffic from that old dead blog.  Ok I will admit I have started re-posting real estate content there too, I re-post content I've posted on my ActiveRain blogs.  They come for the Trick or Treat schedules or Mexican Food posts, if they see real estate content maybe they will remember me when they need me...or click on a link to search for homes...

My Zombie Blogs Trick or Treat 2009 post is almost exactly the same as what is posted on ActiveRain which shows up here, on my Outside blogs (new alive blogs) and Localism

Central Ohio Trick or Treat 2009 and more

On the Zombie Blog - the chart below is for Thursday October 29 only. It has had a lot of traffic all month, the traffic is up almost 100% for the month.

I had 635 Pageviews on my old dead blog yesterday.   That is about three times my normal traffic for that blog.

434 Pageviews were on my Trick or Treat post for 2009.  That post had 422 unique page views yesterday  according to my Google Analytics. Pretty good for an old dead blog...

My old dead blog with huge traffic (most of it from search engines) was started in 2005. 95.59% of the traffic yesterday came from search engines. 

Google 51.81%

Yahoo 32.76%

I have the same Trick or Treat content posted on my WordPress blog too... I get traffic there too but not like that old dead blog...

Trick or Treat Traffic - do you have a Localism post for your area?

Do you have content about this holiday posted for consumers?  That would be posted to Localism.... here.  If you don't and your Trick or Treat is tonight or tomorrow. I'd throw up a quick post.  I hate doing event posts but gee whiz I love the event post traffic and Trick or Treat traffic is better than most events.

The post you post today about Trick or Treat will bring in people from your community for years to come.  That's how I know when it is time to post the Trick or Treat calendar... when the old, dead posts from 2008, 2007, 2006  etc are dragging in traffic to an old dead blog.

I had 82 Pageviews of Columbus Trick or Treat 2008 yesterday, 45 Pageviews  yesterday for a Trick or Treat post from another year.  If I view the report there are views of my real  estate content on the Zombie blog too... just not the traffic that Trick or Treat posts bring out this time of year.
