I often heard some friends keep saying about their own approach and way of determination when we are going to the new year. I want to be this. I want to be better and etc. Sometimes I like to compare these somewhat motivation words to my blogging performance through these simple questions.
- Is the traffic increasing?
- Is the earnings increasing?
- Am I got enough satisfaction?
I wonder how much questions that I will get if I go into details for this but as a person who is still exploring in this amazing blogging world, I think these three questions are enough for me.
Traffic
The current traffic for my site is not satisfying. Based on the information from Statbrain, BloggerDaily got about 4,613 visits per day. I’m not sure about the accuracy of the result but in some points I believe it reflects the average daily visits. The current ranking for Alexa as I’m writing this article is 634,010. Guess I can do something to improve this.
Earnings
As I consider myself as someone who is still amateur in blogging, I’m not targeting for a lot of earnings as the main phase supposed to be the development of the blog in term of niche and content. Currently I could generate 50USD for every two weeks. It’s good but I’m looking forward to get more.
Satisfaction
In fact blogging is a hobby that could give me enough satisfaction. I feel satisfy to write and publish something on the site and then the readers will give their comments related to the topics. Although the comments are not much as popular blogs but I feel satisfy to share and discuss with the others because for me that’s what blogging supposed to be.
Blogging is awesome and yes we need proper steps and stages in order to properly growing our blogs. A good thing to do is improving our sites and exploring new things about blogging so we could make our site better from time to time.
Welcome 2010 and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year 2010!
Happy new year to you too.
Hope all will go well this year.
Although it’s 2010,but I will stick to the plan when I made in 2009 and I will achieve them in 2010.Happy new year!
Happy New Year and good luck everyone with your goals.
I hope you can make more money this year than last year. Most people blog just to make money, but they cannot succeed without enjoying blogging as a hobby.

New year will bring to us the new ideas, new forces in achievement of objects in view. If much to work – it is possible to earn much. Well when work is hobby. Russia joins you. The interesting site, interesting thoughts. I will advise your site to the friends.
After maintaining a blog for more than 6 months, I stop worrying about traffic and all that. Now the most important thing is to enjoy writing, regardless of traffic.
Ha great post, keep em coming. I dont mind about traffic, I just write for fun. But it is a good bonus
