Very Interesting, I have yet to see it explained that way. Another good tool to use for this is SlimStat a plugin for word press I find it easier to use that Google. I use both but SlimStat is more easily accessible.

I have used Pareto Principle during my day job (while testing software). It would be interesting to use it while blogging. Thanks for the heads up

The interesting thing about the Pareto Principle is that is not always an even 80/20 split. With the internet there is an effect referred to as the long tail. Chris Anderson wrote about it in his book “The Long Tail”. With larger sites like Amazon and Ebay having a bigger disparity than smaller sites.

Basically the more content on your site the a better chance at reaching visitors because of the many variations in content that exist. You will have the “popular” posts/pages but the majority of your traffic will come from pages that are only visited a few times a year. Collectively the represent a larger volume of traffic for your site.

As website owners syndicate and/or link back to your site the Pareto Principle starts it’s never ending effect.

Nice, Innovative Article..I have heard about that Principle but with the name “80/20 rule”..

How much amount of social networking buttons you think we should use to take maximum effect? I am using around 5-6 big buttons below every post..Do you think it’s enough or more??

hi Helmi,
Great guest post!
I’ve never heard of Pareto before today, but the guy was smart!
I would paraphrase his principle: There can be a big difference between working HARD and working SMART. The two are not always the same.
Unfortunately, I think I have done more than my share of HARD work that has never paid off… I’ve got to work smarter!

I’ve got the Alexa widget on my sidebar, but not because I want to show off my rating, which is why I’ve placed it at the bottom. It’s there under the assumption that it passes on to Alexa the amount of visits my blog gets thereby giving me a better rating than if it wasn’t there.

Awesome article and tips. I have heard of 80-20 rule but never understood it properly. Thanks for making me understand it.

I have put related articles just after my post and it has increased my pageviews.

Great article Helmi. When you have multiple blogs like I do you definitely need to try to streamline your operation and be more organized. I used to tell my employees when they complained to me about how hard they had to work, “don’t work harder, work smarter”

You hear this over and over again but some how I end up wasting my time on the stuff that really doesn’t matter.(e-mail and hunting for that magic short cut that doesn’t exist)

This month I am trying to only work off the list and really focus more on doing the stuff that I have identified that does matter. Lets see what happens. If it not on the list I not doing it. It is such a true principle and like you said figure out where what actions help build your traffic and repeat them but for some reason I just can’t stop doing that 80% that doesn’t really help.
