How well has this blog been performing? And has it gained any traction since last month’s performance?
Let’s take a look!
Alexa Ranking
Previous Month, January 31st, 2008 Alexa Ranking of 157,194.
February 29th, 2008 Alexa Ranking of 115,040.
A positive gain of 42,154 positions.
Alexa Ranking 2008 Progress
Starting from this month I will be generating a nice chart from my excel sheets that I keep track of my website stats. This will illustrate the progress of 2008 as a whole. Hopefully by the end of 2008, the line will be an upward sloping line, rather than an up and down wave. For the Alexa ranking 2008 Progress Chart, I flipped the Y axis, so that up in this case is good.
Technorati Ranking
January 31st, 2008 Technorati Authority Rating is 51, With a Rank of 150,747.
February 29th, 2008 Technorati Authority Rating is 64, With a Rank of 114,765.
Technorati Ranking 2008 Progress
Similar to the Alexa Ranking chart that I made, technorati ranking should be going up as a whole.
Top Commentators
Ever since I implemented the top commentators on my sidebar, I have seen the number of comments on the blog in general increase. I have also discovered that there is an exploit in the top commentators, that I will soon be blogging about, and hopefully I will find a way to patch that up. The exploit allows anyone to take over the top commentators spot, with their own website, by just making one post.
The total number of overall comments in the month of February was 137 comments. This is up from a total of in January.

Traffic Numbers
In the month of February 2008, there were a total of 3,861 Absolute Unique Visitors.
At the end of January is when I first made the move over to Google Analytics to track my website traffic numbers, so I don’t have very accurate data to report for January, so for the 2008 year in general, I will use February as a starting month for the traffic numbers.
Like I wrote in my goals for 2008 post, I hope that by the end of 2008, I will have a total of 11,000 absolute unique visitors visiting the blog. It’s not an easy feat, but its a reachable feat. Off course according to February stats I am 35% of the way there. And If I am to get to the 11,000 goal mark, I will need to average an increase in traffic of around 714 unique visitors per month. Although not an easy task, but certainly an attainable one.
Income Report
No my current blog doesn’t make any money, as of right now I am doing it just for free, as a way to give some of my tips to the community at large. I did however, plan to write about how my other websites are doing, what I am doing to make them succesful, how much money I make with each, etc. Just a flat out report of what it is I do to make money online. But in all honesty at the moment, I am unsure if I will do this or not. If I do, do it, then it will likely be during the summer time when I will begin talking about it. If I don’t do it, it is because I am not yet comfortable revealing such personal information. Rest assured though, even if I don’t get into the numbers of how much I am making outside of this blog, I will still give good information on how to achieve success online.
