A lot of our posts refer to how readers can increase website traffic or get more subscribers to their blogs, something we still need to work on but aren’t doing a bad job. So when it comes to statistics we personally have to improve to have any credibility, this time I’m not just talking about traffic or backlinks though, here are some stats I took on July 29th, 2007:
- 53 Feed Subscribers
- 89k Alexa
- 247 Posts
- 220 Comments
Feed Subscribers - Starting off with 53 actually wasn’t too shabby, although there are a lot of blogs with more subscribers in this niche and it is a number I really like to see rise (probably more than any other). As I write this post (different day to when it goes live) the number is sitting at 221, that’s over a 4x increase and something I’m really happy with, no doubt this number will increase even more in 2008.
Alexa - The alexa is actually better there than it is now, so you may feel I’m strange for mentioning it, to be fair the current alexa has only dipped over the last month or two when I’ve been away in south africa and just didn’t have the time / energy to make any blog posts as I got my outside of work priorities a bit messed up. During the months from July to now though the alexa was usually around the 50k mark which although I don’t care about it too much; is an improvement.
Posts - I’ll be honest in that I’ve had a lot of fluctuations with my posting. I had started a new blog and spent a lot of time writing to that (it had massive success) but I neglected this one in the process and realised that was not a good idea. When I have been writing here it’s been pretty consistent and hopefully with a high quality of cotnent aside from the last few months where I have been away. The current number of posts is 294 which is nearly a 50 post increase in the last 5 months.
Comments - The previous comments to post ratio was less than 1 comment per post, this is due to the fact that when I started the blog I wasn’t writing for readers, for some reason I tended just to write for search engines and to have new content. Now I interact in the search marketing industry and write for readers, there are currently 911 comments on the site, thats a huge increase in the comments to post ratio.

Hey Glen, thanks for sharing the stats.
The other blog you mentioned that you worked on, what was it?
It was clickalite.com - was mentioned on 4 of the top 100 technorati blogs in the first 2 weeks and also featured on techmeme
Not much to see there anymore, really didn’t want to write on two sites
Although you can still see the content at http://www.clickalite.com/blog/
