I usually start the day off plugging into all of my stat programs to check the traffic activity for all of our clients and today seemed to be standard until I checked the summary graph for our client FamilyDen.com, it was something that every SEO director (or maybe a seismologist as well) dreams of…that sudden spike on the graph that delineates a surge in traffic. I recently re-tooled FamilyDen’s SEO and have watched a strong and steady increase in traffic and conversions in less than two weeks but after a close look at the report this sudden increase was due to FamilyDen being found by an editor (searching for one of the keywords we optimized for) and featured as “killer-startup” on killerstartup.com. FamilyDen is now gaining ground as a “safe, free and convenient family networking site”, and pulling up through the ranks. You can read the mention here, and props to Matt for the sites recognition.
