Is it just me or is that car hot? Here we are again at the begining of the month and another installment of BMIR. Man, that car looks good!
On the advertising front, BlissLogs had a pretty good month. My RSS subscribers doubled in the month and site visits slowly improved. You know the old saying. . . More is Better? Well, I gave you more options to subscribe to this feed. You can now receive all BlissLogs posts via email. This is a great feature offered by Google’s newest acquisition, FeedBurner. I also spent a lot more time on other blogs this past month. That has got to be the best part of blogging, reading other blogs. One thing I found on many blogs is that many have recently removed the nofollow tags from all comments. I decided to follow suit this past month as I found that this makes the blog that much more appealing to visit and comment on.
The other major change on this blog in May was the claim of “amateur blog status“. The amateur does it for the love of doing it and that is the stage I am at now. I have removed all forms of monetization with the exception of ReviewMe. Which doesn’t really matter as I haven’t received any ReviewMe requests yet. 
I’m really looking forward to June and everything that is to come this month. I don’t have much planned yet, so we will all be surprised at what the month brings.
************************
Update: I posted this yesterday, but ran across this list from Rob’s Blog, who in turn got it from HarpzOn. It will be a regular addition to BMIR.
1. I want _____ RSS Subscribers by the end of this month.
2. I want _____ unique visitors to my blog by the end of this month.
3. I want to earn _____ dollars by the end of this month.
4. I want _____ blogs to link to my blog by the end of this month.
5. I want to write at least _____ posts every week.
Here are my goals for June 2007:
1. I want 65 RSS Subscribers by the end of this month.
2. I want 250 unique visitors to my blog during the month.
3. I want to earn 0 dollars by the end of this month. (I’m still amateur)
4. I want 100 blogs to link to my blog by the end of this month.
5. I want to write at least 5 posts every week.
Happy Blogging!

I wouldnt count on review me too much… tough to get requests

Yeah. . . I’m not expecting many/any ReviewMe requests any time soon. Which is fine, as right now, I am more concerned with generating more traffic than I am with making money.

Your paradigm about generating traffic is good jason. that’s the same thing I’m doing as well. I removed my adsense ads just to concentrate on increasing my feed readership.
and it’s great to know you’re a dofollow blogger as well!
keep it up!

Hey Rob,
I saw that you posted this comment twice. I moderate each user the first time they comment so I approved only one of them, since they said basically the same thing. You should be free to comment away on this site now that I’ve approved you. It’s good to have you visiting.
Thanks,
Jason.
