Blog Traffic: Over 2000 Visits!


The CSA program has spent the summer blogging and it has been a great success!  Our goal for the summer was to have 2000 visits and we our proud to announce that we just exceeded our expectations!

Looking at our blog’s statistics, the numbers started rising back in June where we had over 400 hits that month when our blog was still only about a month old.  It appears that our very own CSA website is making the majority of referrals to our blog while Google is also playing a huge role in helping people find us.  We can see that when readers typed certain popular phrases into Google such as “Rutgers move in crew” or “Rutgers CSA” or “Fred Bonner Rutgers,” our page is what appeared in the search results and they clicked on it! 

So far, the most popular pages have been about the NASPA/ACPA conferences; that is, early registration, the “How to Submit a NASPA Conference Program” webinar opportunity, and the NASPA Graduate Associate Program.  With the popularity of these particular posts, we hope to see them put into action with many of our students and colleagues taking advantage of these professional development opportunities. 

With all of these statistics demonstrating a community of readership, our blog has met our goals and we hope to keep improving it with more diverse posts and a more interactive community of followers and comments.  In the meantime, thank you for reading and making this blog a great success for the CSA program!

*A survey will be sent out to readers soon about which medium you would prefer for the fall semester: the Weekly Digest or the CSA Blog.
