Hi all! I know you’re sick of hearing this, but wow – time is flying by. It’ll be Christmas in less than a month. I’m sure there will be lots of posts on how to save on Christmas costs and avoid stress!
Alexa Ranking: 196, 125. That’s down from about 206,000 at the end of last month. I have finally cracked the 200,00 I’ve been shooting for. HOORAY!.
Twitter followers – I have 140 followers now. That’s up from 118 last month. Hooray! I very much appreciate those who’ve tweeted my posts, or suggested me on “follow friday” – I really think that’s helped widen my audience.
Facebook fans. Well – I actually have a facebook page now. But I haven’t done anything with it. I still haven’t done anything with it. Perhaps this weekend I will – I have officially designated this my “catch up” weekend on all the stuff I’ve been avoiding. 
RSS subscribers – 22. Hmm. I’m up 4 from last month. It’s progress!
Unique Visitors – 1400. That’s down from last month. 
. Sigh. Guess I need to start coming up with better topics!
Do you post stats on your blog? Do you have monthly goals?
Congrats on breaking 200k on Alexa! I’ve really not had the time to focus on Facebook for my blog. When it gets added to the rest of the blog work it tends to fall to the bottom.

Thanks John – and glad to know I’m not the only slacker around here!
I think you’re doing great. Great job on the Alexa!

Thanks Michelle!
Congratulations Cat for getting under 200K in Alexa and that your traffic is building. As for your Facebook page that is a personal page you opened. If you want to have a Facebook FAN page you can start that and then you can build up fans and new traffic to your website. If you need any help you know my email… I’ll help you. Keep up the great work! Mr.CBB

Thanks Mr. CBB. I know you mentioned the page issue before – I really am going to try to set up a fan page this weekend, and will let you know if I get stuck!
Wow, breaking 200,000 is impressive!
Totally worthwhile, I think.
I set goals for myself, but don’t publish them. I participated in Michelle’s giveaway and that massively jumped by subscribers
I’m really not great with the FB stuff either.

Ah- that’s a good idea. I should join up next time some one does a giveaway..
Keep it up Cat! you’re doing sweet work (breaking 200k is no easy task), I’m still trying to get under 2M hehe

Thanks. And you will get there. It’s taken me almost 7 months to get there!
Hey Cat, nice job on breaking 200,000. We’re not there yet, but my Alexa is still dropping, it will be interesting to see where it levels out!
Mandy @ MoneyMasterMom recently posted..Net Worth is not your Self Worth
Thank you Mandy. As I stated in another comment, it takes time!
I don’t post my stats, truthfully I don’t even look at them. My wife does from time to time and gives me updates (I’m told I’m moving in the right direction) I choose to focus on writing the best stuff that I can..
Derek @ Freeat33 recently posted..How to combat inflation on your retirement income
Derek – I think your approach sounds great. I probably won’t track mine forever – maybe just til I get til the 1 year mark …
Congrats on getting under 200K on Alexa ! That’s AMAZING! Keep up the good work.
