30 Days :Day 19
STATS! ok so the last few days I an feeling that Google analytics wasn't being straight up and now that suspicion is almost confirmed. On Wednesday I subscribed to a forum that was focusing on bloggers and online money making. from that forum i posted the url to my site, about a dozen people visited the blog and commented back on the forum however google only reported 5 hits ?
I guess this could be due to the way google counts these hits and some demographic groups may block specific "features "
The morel of the story is your stats are only a guide and not to focus on them too much.
People want to be part of something successful
Call it a hunch or a feeling, while building up this Blog I get the senses that it’s a up hill battle to a point then the brakes come off and boom, you have traffic. Something tells me that you somehow have to prove yourself to the masses first, once you do that and hit critical mass your site starts becoming self building gaining more reputation and more readers with less effort. Well at least that my theory.
30 Days :Day 18
Looking over some stats I discovered my technorati ran is now sitting at 722,143. this comes as quite a surprise as I hadn't focused on that score that much. As it turns out a few well placed comments on other blogs has contributed to this score , lets see if i can hit the 100,000 mark before the 30 days is up
Should computers have preinstalled OS’s ?
My Question is shouldn’t we get a choice as to what OS we pay for?
30 days :Day 17
Right, so I am pretty sure I have most of the site organised and planned out. So how do I drive visitors to this site ? well yesterday I implement My Blog Log its a widget that sits on your site that displays the visitors to your site and also shows their pretty little avatar. now this is the best part, when your a member of my blog log , each time you visit a site that displays the widget your avatar get displayed on their site. curious visitors see your avatar and sometimes click it. Eventually they can click through to your site and this is where your visitors come from.

Ok now I am back to full swing. One of the more overlooked aspects is the footer. In blogs this area gets a surprising amount of viewing since people read down like newspapers. You also find this is the area people are most likely to exit your blog so this is a great place to throw in interesting links such as comments, recent post’s and other link love.
