I started tracking my stats last month. I think it’ll be a great way for me to keep track of my progress. And send a shout out to all the nice folks who stop by to visit me!
For June 2012
Alexa Ranking: 381,010. That’s down from 482,742. That’s awesome! I hadn’t realized I’d moved so much – I thought I’d pretty much stopped moving, cause I didn’t check til now where I’d been a month ago. I’m part of the Yakezie challenge, and hoping to crack the top 200, 000 before the first six months are up. I’m not sure I’ll get there, but I’m certainly on my way. I know I owe a lot of credit to the nice folks who stop by, comment, and tweet my posts, so THANK YOU!!
Twitter followers – I have 41 followers now. That’s up from 25 last month. I’ve been trying to get a bit more active on Twitter in terms of retweeting other folks stuff. I haven’t been super active in looking for new folks to follow, so that’ll go on the to do list.
Facebook fans. Nada. None. But I have no Facebook page. I know, I know – I said this last month. I think I’ll make that a “before fall” goal. I need to check out other people’s Facebook pages to see what they do on them.
RSS subscribers – 8. Hmm. I’m up one from last month. That’s not a lot. Hopefully if I get more active on Twitter, and myself active on Facebook, that’ll change.
Unique Visitors – 711. That’s almost 100 more than last month. WOO!!
Do you post stats on your blog? Do you have monthly goals?
I don’t know that tweeting and creating a facebook page will help your subscribers – I have never seen a direct correlation, because usually my subscribers are the ones following me. I’d recommend being more active on other people’s blogs if you want more subscribers.

Looks like you’re doing good! I post my stats once a month with my goals.

Congrats on all the improvements! I agree with Daisy that early on getting more subscribers is about being more active on people’s blogs. I do think that doing more on social networks should help though. I recommend you read my latest post about automating social media marketing. It should give you some ideas of how you can get more of that going while still working a full time job.

I like reading monthly stats when bloggers are first starting up! I think you’re doing great but as Jeremy said, his latest post is a huge help in gaining more momentum with marketing your blog. For me, I was blogging for a year inconsistently without really doing anything but commenting on a handful of sites. I’d say what helped the most was being active on twitter, forming relationships with other bloggers, participating in blog swaps through Yakezie and carnivals, and also guest posting! Looks like you are guest posting often so that’s great!

Daisy – you raise a very good point. I do definitely need to comment more. My goal is to start trying to get up in the morning and comment before I go to work.
Michelle – thank you!
MM – Hey MM – I will stop on by and make sure I do that!
SS – I appreciate knowing what you’ve done – it’s good to know what’s worked for you!
