Updates For September 5, 2007
September 5, 2007
Hello, there. I know I haven’t done an earnings report in ages - but before you get all excited, this ISN’T one of those. I’m hardly focusing on money right now, but instead I’m working on traffic, backlinks, and making this blog better for YOU. This post is an update to let you know how I’m doing with all my rankings, statistics, posts, referrers, etc. I’ll let you know how this blog has been coming along and basically, what’s up. Just a quick note, but I want you to know that my Google Analytics was reset a few days ago. Now… So let’s begin, eh? :)
The most popular day this week was Sunday, in which I got 221 unique visitors. There’s definitely plenty of room for improvement. I need to set some standards for myself because this blog is definitely old enough to have BROKEN THE ALEXA TOP 100K, but we’re not quite there yet and it’s sort of upsetting. I’ll do better, I promise. I’m working on it.
The most popular color that readers view this blog in is BLUE, followed by red, then green. Blue is the color I view this design in as well. To view the details of this poll and discussion, click here. Thanks to everyone who voted!
118 posts and 629 comments at the bottom - considering the age of this blog, that’s not too great. However, I’m hoping to improve. I plan to post more often and I plan to liven up the community. I’m going to get the traffic flowing soon, trust me!
My top referrers, not including company or big business sites like Google, StumbleUpon, etc. are as follows:
- Problogger.net
- CourtneyTuttle.com
- Emonetized.com
- Snoskred.org
- Elizabeth-Rose.info
I’ve been working on increasing this blog’s traffic. I was lucky to win a free review at CourtneyTuttle.com, and also lucky to win a rotated banner at Emonetized.com. Another thing I plan to work hard on is social media and networking. There’s definitely an increase, and slow and steady wins the race of course, so I’m doing great. I’ve been trying AddUrl.nu and ArticleMarketer.com for backlinks as well, both of which I will post about over the next few days to a week, so stick around.
And if you’re smart, I’m still selling site-wide sidebar links for JUST FIVE DOLLARS! The link lasts until September 20, and you get another free, permanent link in a post after the deal is over. This blog is expected a PageRank 3, which will be passed on to you along with targeted traffic and exposure. It’s unbelievable deal you don’t want to pass up on, so please HURRY AND CHECK IT OUT! :)
I’ve been having trouble lately, finding time for the computer (and sometimes, it’s not even possible). For example, lately I’ve had company over and been doing a lot of things. Life is getting more hectic. Besides that, my laptop quit working. We took it to be fixed before, but now it’s messing up again. When I plug it in, it acts like it’s still unplugged. It’s gradually gotten worse, and now it doesn’t even recognize it’s plugged in at all. It’s not the actual battery, so I don’t know what it is. Whatever it was, it only got temporarily fixed before. And now it’s dead and I can’t turn it on, so I’m using another computer. Anyway, I’d like to leave you with some articles to check out since I might not be around as often as I’d like to be. They’re all great, helpful reads.

That’s about it! All you’ve got to do now is subscribe and I’ll be on my way. I’m trying to get those numbers up, too. :)

Got something to say?
Wow! That totally blows me away.. ;) I’m glad I can send traffic your way, I enjoy your blog, it’s one of my favourites.
Let me take a moment to thank you for all the hard work and effort you put in here, I appreciate it and I know I’m not the only one. Linking back to you is one of the ways I can show that appreciation. ;)
I’d say it might partly be the “bloggers are helpful” sidebar I put in - I know a lot of my readers find that very useful and click on the articles listed there. I’m happy to list any blogging articles which are aimed at helping bloggers improve their blogging. Articles can be submitted simply by emailing me, all are welcome to submit, and I have a link to email me on my blog. ;)
Keep up the fantastic work, I’m a huge fan - and viewing in green because that’s my favourite color. ;)

Snoskred - Thank you for all the things you’ve said, your comment really put a smile on my face. It’s great to know that people out there actually read and enjoy this blog, and I’m glad you do! Thanks again, and have a fantastic day. :)
I really like your blog Tay and I am sure that when you keep going like this you’ll break the 100K Alexa ranking pretty soon…
Thank you Sandra! I sure do hope so. And I like your blogs a lot too. I’m subscribed to both Free Cash Quest and your other one as well. :)
