Monthly Update (Month 4)
By Bryan Clark on Oct 28, 2007 in Uncategorized
I’ve missed a few goals this month but a few other big things have happened for me as well. It’s been a whirlwind of activity, but this month I am going to focus, and make November my best month yet as a blogger. Watch me go…
Highlights
- I’m now a writer at Entrepreneurs-Journey.Com - Check me out in the blogging and business news section!
- I have a PageRank!
- I’ve set a new record for monthly traffic (although I still feel it should have been higher).
Goal Check
- $550 in income - Achieved!
Smooth sailing!
- Break the top 10k in Technorati - Technorati Ranking: 12,894
For the second month in a row I’ve missed this target. It’s pretty tough!
- Alexa Ranking of 40k - Achieved!
Alexa Ranking - 40,588
- 40k Pageviews
Just missed it. Next month it’s gonna happen!

My traffic was less consistent this month, but I had a few huge spikes that really drove it home. My biggest traffic spikes came from huge StumbleUpon traffic via my articles - 101 Wordpress Plugins, and What Everyone Ought to Know About StumbleUpon, and 51 Great Places to Find Wordpress Themes. Keep em commin’ StumbleUpon!

Income is still improving, although I’m disappointed it wasn’t a bit higher. I have some new monetization methods in place, and last month I had all but abandoned monetization methods about half-way through the month. I didn’t have the space to utilize them effectively (my sidebar looked terrible with all of the ads), so I thought I’d wait for the new theme. New theme is here, time for results! It’s not like the theme cost me money, just a personal choice to wait on the new theme before I dove head first into monetization.
