I couldn't resist myself from writing a personal post on bangaloreloka and thought I will let you know the progress of my blogging goals for January as I cannot wait till Feb 1st to show the overall stats.
I just wanted to make an quick update with this post that the goals that were set by me are perhaps going to be reached (that’s what I feel) but who knows anyway.. along with this post I will also mention the next set of goals. Even though I am not sure about achieving the first set of goals, I am making the next set of goals.. now that’s height of confidence?
Stop all your work or finish it first and then get back to read this post as I assure you this is one long useless post. I don't know how this post crossed 700 words.. guess writing in a flow works out well
Back to January 2010 Goals
I wanted to challenge myself on how good I was with blogging and I guess I have done an decent job so far. I am writing this for you because somewhere I felt people like to read reports and blog round up? If you feel this is not a good idea then let me know..
And one more thing, my goal was not to reach 1000 visitors after January, it was to reach by January. As January has 31 days, I need to have atleast 31000 visitors by the end of the month. Sounds crazy! I know, I tried and I am trying..
Anyway, the report is from Stat counter and I have 6,323 page views in 8 days. So, that’s like 790 avg visitors per day. Previously, in the month of December I have had 420 visitors per day.
So, in almost 8 days I have had 80% increase in traffic to the actual traffic..

Yes, there has been a good going as you can see from the colorful graph. I have got it all planned for the next 23 days too. Actually, I need to get 24 677 visitors in the next 23 days.. that’s like 1072 visitors everyday from now on.. I am sorry for those boring numbers
And, this time it's not going to be a monthly goal as I have had enough of the fun. So, I am combining Feb-March days for my next set of goals..
My February - March Goals
Enough of hard work. It was sweet and awesome to interact with people, although this will be continued in Feb and March, but I guess it will be limited. Reason? Just want to be focus more on different projects and this site was made just for fun.. however, I will try as much as possible to comment and write! Maybe I will keep writing but part of me says limit yourself from the stress.
Here is my February – March Goals..
Number of page views – 1400?
Like I said I might not be actively blogging in february and march, I can say this only by the end of January! But keeping an goal of 1400 pageviews everyday by the end of March seems sensible to me.
So, the combined stats of February and March should have 84,000 visitors. Let's make it 85,000 visitors
What say?
Subscribers Count – Nah!
I never care for subscribers but adding the button is my goal
I am sorry for not setting up subscribe option because I was only able to spare my time on content writing and commenting.
Alexa ranking

Who cares?
Number of Posts in February and March – 100?
I have posted crazily in January, in these 10 days I have made 3 posts per day which is simply awesome. But, the keeping consistency is what I never cared for. Also, I don't want this blog to be the fastest growing blog on the planet
just kidding.
Perhaps 100 posts in February and March with do it eh? That's like 1.66 posts a day.
And for those people who have been commenting here with really quality opinions; I appreciate a lot and hope you will succeed in your blogging career as well.
If there is any help you need, just let me know.. Have a good day. God bless everyone!

Too good. I am setting my goal too. Hope i will get that much soon. Anyway, Good logo:)

Man, That is a great feat that you have achieved, how about sharing some secrets in the next post.

Hey Shiva,
I am afraid to saw there is NO real secret, it’s just about writing things on the right time and making sure they are helpful. Just make goals and I am sure you will be actively gaining traffic..
And, yeah 1k is nothing
but like i said, doing it for fun.
Its really good that you are constantly increasing your Aim. It will help you succeed fast!
Hi Rohit,
Glad that you spotted my ambitious soul

Are you from earth
JK
Hey Shekhar,
Indeed, I am from the Mother Earth and I see you have asked me who I am thru ‘Contact’ form?
Well, let’s say I am just an ordinary guy with extraordinary dreams
Thanks for passing by.
I like to read about goals in blogging….Keep posting about it…It’s a good idea =)
Hey, you make one line comments everywhere eh?
I will keep on posting blogging goals.. thanks
Well spotted blinkky’s behavior! I have observed it long back too…I delete such comments if I find they don’t add value to my Article [if I feel my step is rather harsh, i sometimes keep such comments]
Yea, Rohit. What do I say? Can’t help it seriously.. people make comments for those idiotic backlinks and never realize what they are losing.. atleast a comment that adds value to the post or a question will do it..
Ah! Well.. let him do and let him enjoy! Wish I knew the reason behind this.. thanks for supporting. Thinking to make a public post about him
lol.. just kidding..
Thats great buddy that you are achieving your goals and then setting up high goals for them. I hope you will achieve all your goals in the coming months
Hey Loveish,
Yea, I am just playing around with this blog.. it’s kind of working out as intended
Thanks for passing by buddy..
you can achieve this, best wishes buddy.
Hi,
Thanks and I will give my 100% shot at this.. let’s see anyway..
Wow!! Cool.. My stat is still <100
( I hope my target will be reached in Feb, next month.
Hey Gojeg,
No successful blog starts with high traffic
It will increase if you think more about traffic and less about money.. trust me!
Yes..you’re right. I’ve to change my mindset.
Working hard alone is not enough dude. You have to work hard to promote ur blog, marketing is the place where most bloggers fail (90% good writers fail in blogging because of lack of marketing skills). No professional blogger talks about the marketing strategies he/she is following. So you have to investigate and market your blog.
I am able to spend maximum of 2 hours on this blog per day.. and in that I try to write, comment and schedule posts because next day I might get busier.. so, I never market blog posts that much and I guess writing some decent posts is the only option I have to increase traffic..
Thanks for your input!
Well, dude. I seriously suggest you to try some of these during the week end. They should surely help.

Right. Thanks for getting back to me, Vamsi and I liked the reference link.. I will definitely work on it but there is something I can’t reveal as of now which makes it tougher for me to market everyday but doing all this during weekend or atleast spending sometime on it makes sense indeed..
Have a nice time and I am glad to see your helpful comments here. Take care..
