Weekly Wrap-up: What Tech Obstacles Do Kids Face? Twitter Brand Pages, An iPhone User’s First Days on Android and More…
Apr 9th
Our top story this week was Audrey Watters’ report on a survey that asked students how they use technology in the classroom. Almost 300,000 students from kindergarden through 12th grade – along with 43,000 parents, 35,000 teachers, 2,000 librarians, 3,500 administrators – took part in the study.
The results show that parents and teachers’ desire to either provide or improve access to digital tools in the classroom is strong. And teachers and administrators are confident they’re doing a good job using technology to enhance how students learn. But fewer than half the kids agreed. And it’s no wonder: The majority of administrators surveyed have no interest in incorporating one of the most common computing devices in the world – the cell phone – into their schools this year.
After the jump you’ll find more of this week’s top news stories on some of the key trends that are shaping the Web – mobile, location, Internet of Things – plus highlights from our six channels. Read on for more.

Overcoming Obstacles to Get Web Traffic!
Oct 28th
On July 26, 2010 I launched www.6Laughs.com, a humor website that offers viewers six funny updates a day. During the past three months, I have had over 45,000 views while spending only $13. Since then I have had to overcome two major obstacles. Originally I created 6Laughs as a fun hobby to work on outside of school. That was until I realized the potential for growth.
In my excitement of launching 6Laughs, I quickly stumbled my website URL, www.6laughs.blogspot.com. This was before I had purchased my custom domain. However my stumble took off like wildfire and I received 11,000 views from Stumbleupon in the first week.
This is when I made my first mistake.
I registered the domain name 6Laughs.com for $10 and applied it to my blogspot. Needless to say, it made my 6laughs.blogspot.com link forward to 6laughs.com, thus the original stumble was dropped because the link was no longer available. The blogspot stumble could have grown to 50k+ views and resulted in more traffic if I had been patient and waited to purchase a custom domain. I also could’ve waited to stumble my website, because now my site is more developed then when I originally stumbled it.
Before I released 6Laughs, I launched another website as an experiment in early June. I had to pay $1 per month for the first three months for hosting, which I intended to cancel after the three months to avoid paying $10 per month. By paying for hosting, I received promotional offers for Google Adwords and Facebook Ads. Cleverly, I decided to use these promotional codes for 6Laughs instead.
This led me to my second mistake.
I ran a Facebook ad that linked back to my website, however I had not yet created a Facebook page. Thus I lost precious traffic through people who liked the ad. The Google Adwords coupon proved to be useful, sending surges of traffic on the days I had the campaign running. The best part was the $50 Adwords coupon and the $50 Facebook Ads coupon cost me only $3.
At this point 6Laughs was generating about 500 views a day. I created a Facebook fan page and a Twitter designated for 6Laughs. These have slowly picked up visitors and readers by automatically updating when I make a new post on the website. Also, thanks to Twitter trends, I have had a constant trickle of new traffic to my website.
I noticed a hot trend that fit my audience and posted a related funny picture in a post with the same title, and since then my highest search keyword has been this trend. Along with these useful additions, the biggest addition to the website was the blog widget “LinkWithin”. It has created over 4,000 additional views by simply being underneath all posts.
My last method for gaining traffic is by using Google Images.
Many websites and blogs either keep the image name the same as when they got the image, or label it with random numbers and letters. I took it upon myself to individually name each image I post with a descriptive name. A viral image that spread across the Internet was named “I’m Gonna Crumb“, I named the image “Gonna+Crumb.jpg”. This picture now comes up first in Google Images for this search and all variations of it. It ranks over sites that receive 100,000 views a day because they named the image “j1ds_2k4.jpg” or some other random variation of letters and numbers.
Since I launched www.6Laughs.com I have learned that all web entrepreneurs should have smaller, specific goals with one big picture in mind. You can witness your improvement if you break things down into achievable goals. This will be more effective and much more profitable. My current goals are to gain more back links as well as to improve the amount my site is shared by my readers. My last goal is to generate more Facebook fans and Twitter followers.
