I have a website, a blog, and a MySpace. I update the blog & MySpace more frequently, but the site still gets the most hits.

What I lack is a means to link sales to any of them, 'cause they each have book links on them.
 

Hmm. Let's see. In terms of unique visitors:

My blogs--LJ get 50-100 hits a day although I update it no more than weekly, myspace gets about 1 hit week. I guess I suck at myspace use because some people do well with it.

My total fixed website gets 450-650 hits a day but that includes EREC and PODPeople, my personal front page gets only 50-100 of those.

This blog gets 40-60 a day so far.
 

p.s. You don't necessarily need a website but it probably helps as a fixed site to post your backlist and some teasers and samples.
 

thanks for the responses. :)
 

I would at the very least buy the website domain name if it's available, even if you don't want to use it yet. It stops other people buying it.

I don't get a huge amount of traffic through my website, but people do wander through reading the excerpts and short stories. I'm fairly sure that in some cases that turns into sales -- it's the ebook equivalent of being able to read a few sample pages in the shop before buying.
 

Blog, website (that has a blog front but I don't use it in that manner), myspace (but I don't do anything there).

The most hits I have are to my blog usually 40-70 hits a day, though its increasing, my website a little less than that, but I publicize the blog more, and thats what I update every day or two. 40-60 hits on the main site isn't too bad considering its high in new browsers, the hits to the blog are a lot of return visitors.

I find webrings do very little, a few hits a month at most, blogtopsites is excellent for referral, and links with other authors/authorsites (like EREC) garner 1-2 hits a day sometimes a few more.
 

jules, yep, i'm planning to do that today or tomorrow.

anne, thanks for the numbers.
 

I know my numbers aren't great compared to some, but I'm finally seeing some results from all my listing with blog sites, advertising etc.
 

I have all of the above (lol) and I think so far my blog and myspace site have way more traffic than the website. Of course, those pages are frequently updated too, whereas the website might be updated once a month. Majority of the new hits come from blogtopsites and the like.
