BlissLogs Month in Review (BMIR) - July 2007

BMW 6 Series What’s been going on with BlissLogs over the past month? It’s been a pretty uneventfull month as far as blogs go. Which is both good and bad for a blog. I lowered my post frequency over the month, which was due more to the nice weather than to anything else.  I couldn’t have asked for better weather during the month here in central Illinois, so I took advantage of it and spent some time playing with the kids outside.  If my kids challenge you to a game of laser tag, just concede immediately as they will most likely kick your ass.  Did I mention that they are 5 years old?

July saw the introduction of Google Mondays and WordPress Wednesdays. These two memes are pretty self explanatory, but this would be a pretty useless post if I didn’t tell you about it so sit back, relax and soak it in.  Google Monday will bring you a new post every Monday about anything Google.  Google has such a huge footprint on the web and on bloggers, that posts dedicated to it seems fairly logical. I may tell you about a new tool on Google, an old tool, a new feature, or new news.  Whatever it is, Google will be the centerpiece. WordPress Wednesdays is just what IT sounds like. Every Wednesday will bring you some tip/news/review of anything to do with WordPress. I picked WordPress because it is the blogging platform that I use, it is the most popular self hosted blogging platform, and . . . well WordPress Wednesday sounds good. :lol:

Here are the goals I made for BlissLogs for the Month of July 2007:

1. I want 65 RSS Subscribers by the end of this month.
2. I want 600 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 120 blogs to link to my blog by the end of this month.
5. I want to write at least 5 posts every week.

Now for my July actuals:

1. I had a peek of 44 subscribers, but averaged only 35 over the last few days of the month (no change from last month). :sad:
2. I finished with 534 unique visitors in July, 639 visits, and 1,082 pageviews.
:sad:
3. $0 earned. :smile:
4. Based on the Technorati Authority, I only made 89. (I know I have more total links, but Technorati only seems to count the last 90 days):sad:
5. 21 posts in 31 days.  4.7 posts per week.
:sad:

Now for my August goals:

1. I want 65 RSS Subscribers by the end of this month.
2. I want 600 unique visitors to my blog during the month.
3. I want to earn $5 dollars by the end of this month. (I am sneaking in Google Adsense)
4. I want 120 blogs to link to my blog by the end of this month as reported through the Technorati Authority.
5. I want to write at least 5 posts every week.
