Boosting Website Traffic With The Abundance Theme

Around a month or so ago, I was working on an update for The Abundance Theme and was looking around for a live site to put it on, since my test installations were busy with other things at the time and the update wasn’t big enough to justify creating another. I dug up an old .info site that had been quickly knocked together several months earlier in order to test a plugin, and had been languishing around doing very little ever since. It was wearing a fairly nondescript bog standard WordPress theme, which was replaced by Abundance. After checking it in various browsers to make sure that the Abundance update had produced the expected results, I vowed to take more interest in the site in future… and promptly ignored it again.

This poor neglected site was remembered again this morning when I needed to use it – for testing something. It will go to the ball one day. Taking a look at the stats while I was there, I found this…

While we’re hardly looking at a traffic jam here and you can almost see the cobwebs draped gently over the graph, there’s a marked increase in activity since I installed The Abundance Theme a month ago. I haven’t posted a thing on this site since April (though I’ve a feeling that’s about to change!) and it wouldn’t know promotion if it walked up to it and bit it. Interesting.
