Go Caching is getting a small but steady trickle of traffic, and my next step is to add a geocaching gift guide. It may be too late to expect any Christmas sales, but I definitely won’t get any if the guide isn’t there at all.

aURL is pretty quiet. It gets the occasional hit, but with my focus on the other sites I haven’t updated it in a while. The main change planned there is still to convert from WordPress to a custom built site. I think that will be better suited to what I envisage than what WordPress can deliver.

The two newest sites, Go Caching and aURL, have been getting some search engine traffic. Go Caching in particular has been getting hits several days in a row. I purposely chose the domain name because it has an appropriate name for the site, and because there is a possibility of people typing GoCaching instead of GeoCaching. The content I’m adding to the site seems to be covering some subjects people are googling. Several long tail search phrases (most weren’t that long) that I have seen in my MyBloglog stats have resulted in my site showing in the top five items returned, often ahead of sites that have been around for years. To me that’s pretty exciting considering the site is only about six weeks old. Hopefully it can only get better, and if traffic continues to build I can think about monetizing it.

The first is aURL which is a site about URL shortening and redirection services. I still have lots of work to do on this one, but I think it can become a useful resource once it has more content added.

The second is Go Caching which is my personal diary of geocaching experiences. I already have a fair bit of content here, and each new geocaching trip becomes a blog entry. I expect this one to grow quickly with posts and plenty of resources to be added.
