We’re getting close to the point where there will be no more monthly reports. I said from day one that I would do a case study of this sites’ traffic for one year, and that’s what I’ve done. This preliminary report is actually an exciting one: ViperChill received more traffic in August than any other month so far.

I don’t care about the stats and don’t have any goals, but instead view this as a great way to help you all see how I’m growing my blog and the kind of traffic sources you can use to do the same. Let’s look at the numbers, shall we?

I wasn’t going to post this as it is quite delayed, but this blog wouldn’t be a very good case study if there were a month missing from my stats reporting. Especially if I’m only doing them for 12 months. Each month I reveal the websites and keywords that drove traffic to ViperChill, and share some personal insights into what is going on in my life.

It’s never a good sign when a blogger disappears for weeks, “neglecting” their readers and doesn’t take the time to give a reason why. It’s also very common for bloggers who apologise for their infrequent posting to quickly find themselves at a stage where their blog does not get updated at all.

I’ll be the exception to that rule and apologise for my lack of updates over the last few weeks – stating that I’m genuinely back for good – and with a big announcement to make: As of the end of this month, I’ll be living in Thailand. Bangkok, to be specific. Despite that possibly surprising announcement, this post is not going to be very personal. Let’s talk business.

If you’re new here, each month I share the exact websites and keywords that sent traffic to ViperChill over the course of the previous month. I do this as I want ViperChill to be a case study for all of you on how to grow a website and make money online.

June was quite a quiet month in terms of updates and activity on other sites. I’ve just bought two massive new websites (and I’m arranging assistants to run them) so that has taken up the majority of my time. Plus, I’ve been enjoying quite a few World Cup games while I’m here.

I’m very excited to say that if you’re reading this, ViperChill has now passed the 10,000 subscribers mark. I’m actually writing this sentence (not the post) on March 11th 2010 sitting on a feed count of 4,717 subscribers (I’ll explain this later). In my monthly posts I often say that I don’t have any goals for the site, but if I’m totally honest, hitting the 10k subscriber mark was definitely one of mine.

When I ran PluginID I wrote a blog post after hitting 5,000 subscribers as that was a huge achievement for me at the time. I decided to refrain from that here at ViperChill until I reached 10,000 subscribers which I think finally puts this blog on the map. I’ve managed to grow this site by over 9,000 subscribers in 9 months which is quite rare in the blogging world. Here’s how.

I’ve said from the start that I will only do these monthly reports up until the site turns one so we’re getting closer and closer to that mark now. If you’re new here, each month I share the exact websites and keywords that sent traffic to ViperChill over the course of the previous month.

May, in all honestly, did not include much “ViperChill time” as I had my 21st birthday and a lot of coaching clients to work with. However, June is a new month and I’m ready to get back into work-mode and see where I can take this blogging case study.

Despite what many blogs online will tell you about my age (most say I’m 22, 23, or above), today is actually my 21st birthday. Since I was about 12 I would always tell my Mom that I was going to be a millionaire by 21. I guess that means I have twelve months to reach my goal and I like to think I’m on track.

Although this post is not directly related to internet marketing and you might think I have nothing to share because of my youth, I’ve been through a lot in the process of going from a college dropout to now making a living for myself online. I hope that there’s something you can take away from this post and apply to your own journey.

It has now been six months since I relaunched ViperChill. On one hand I’m really excited to be in the situation I’m in because the growth here is amazing but on the other I’m sad to see just how fast the time has gone already. Time flies when you’re having run, right?

If you’re new here then each month I share the exact keywords and referring sites that sent traffic to ViperChill in the last month. I don’t have any subscriber or traffic goals so this report is purely just interesting for me to look at, as I hope it is for you as well.
