Sunday Numbers #7

Staale — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 14:15:31 +0000

Sorry for a lot of stats post lately, but its new month and new Sunday almost at the same time.

(Last week in parentheses)
Alexa: 215,825 (215,825)
Technorati: 126,758 (170,597)
Authority: 59 (46)
RSS readers: 60 (63)

Comments: 547 (441)

Alexa haven’t updated yet, but on next update I’m hoping to climb even closer to the 100k mark. It has taken longer then I expected though. The Technorati rank is moving good, and soon I’m one of the top 100.000 bloggers! (hehe!) I don’t know what happened with the RSS subscribers, but yesterday I had 67, and today it’s down to 60, so overall this week I have lost 3 subscribers. This week and the next week I will really push the Entrecard contest, since it’s ending soon, so I hope the numbers are higher on the next update. I only wrote seven posts last week, but still got over 100 new comments which are great! On an avreage there is almost 10 comments per post.

Up till now, I have written the Sunday Numbers each week. I think this is to much, and the numbers aren’t changing so fast, so from now I’m going to update them every two weeks.

Another week has ended, and February are almost over. It’s time for the numbers again, so here we go:

(Last week in parentheses)
Alexa: 215,825 (274,910)
Technorati: 170,597 (211,248)
Authority: 46 (38)
RSS readers: 63 (54)

Alexa are moving slower now, but that is expected since we are starting to get an decent number. I have also stoped the advertising, so the site does not get as much page views as it did earlier in the month. However, I’m planing to start another $100 campaign on PW within the next week. Hopefully that will give me a nice push against the 100k mark. I wrote 9 new posts last week, and got almost 100 comments. You guys still rock on the comments, and hopefully you will keep up the good work! The RSS Subscriber base are growing, though a bit slower then I would like, 9 new readers last week, and we are up to an total of 63 subscribers. Not bad, but I want more! If you haven’t subscribed yet, make sure you do.

Alright, thats it for today. Next week will be a interesting week. I got some ideas that I have started working on, and hopefully you would enjoy them. Ohh, and, if you haven’t joined the contest yet, make sure you do!

Sunday Numbers #5

Time flies, and its Sunday again! Here in Norway it’s raining down, and its time to clean the apartment. Woho! Anyway, the numbers are in, and here you go:

(Last week in parentheses)

Alexa: 274,910 (519,368)
Technorati: 211,248 (283,266)
Authority: 38 (29)
RSS readers: 54 (43 )

I’m really impressed with the Alexa rank, and its almost halfed again. My goal for the end of February is is an Alexa rank under 100k. The Technorati is really slow, but I guess its going in the right direction. Not the biggest growth in RSS readers this time, but with 11 new readers I’m happy. Hopefully it will keep this growt.

I think the lack of “great” posts are the reason why I’m not seeing an even bigger growth there. Last week I wrote 9 new posts, and you guys wrote over 100 new comments (well, some of them are mine…) the main reason for the big amount of comments are that I have started the 20.000 Entrecard contest. If you haven’t joined that one yet you should!

Sunday numbers #4

Hmm, already Sunday number four since this blog started, and the stats are looking good. Growth on all places.

(Last week in parentheses)

Alexa: 519,368 (899,610)
Technorati: 283,266 (461,534)
Authority: 29 (18)
RSS readers: 43 (23)

Another week with good growth. What I’m happy to see is that the RSS Subscribers haven’t gone down after the contest was over. Its actually gone up, and now this blog have 43 subscribers. Great! With this speed the goals I set for February will be crushed! Alexa are still falling and now the average is just above 500k. I have noticed that 1 week avreage is under 100k! Sure, I have bought some advertising this month, so probably the rank will go up a bit when I stop advertising. When it comes to comments you guys rock. Just can’t complain over 100+ comments in a week. Keep them coming, there are relly some nice discussion going on.

So, there they are. The good ol’ numbers. With that done I checked my list of my goals for February, and saw that I should sell a 125×125 spot. Not sure why you haven’t bought on yet, but it will sure be worth your money. The last 2 days the one ad sold have gotten over 30 clicks! This means over 450 click/month which equals a CPC of $0.055. Sure that where the peek days, but I can guarantee 100 clicks per month. If your ad don’t get 100 clicks you will get full refund. This equals a CPC under $0.25 which aren’t bad in a niche like this.

Order your spot today!

There you have it. In one week the Alexa rank has been chopped in half. Love it! The Technorati numbers has had an really big update, which is great, but I would like to see the numbers below 100k. The RSS readers are growing good. Now the contest has kicked in though. Goal for February is 50. Should go. You guys are really good to make comments on post, almost tripled the last week with the number of post “only” doubled.

Numbers looking good, and I think its on time to start monetizing this blog. Its time to secure your adspot today!
