It’s been almost two months since I set up this blog and I realize that there are several areas on my internet marketing plans I need to improve or haven’t started yet like tweeting and video marketing. I also currently have nobody joined my list mostly because I think the blog visitors are other AJ students. I have made some screenshots to record the achievement I made since the first date I launched this blog on 16 Jul 2009 and I welcome everybody to comment on and recommend some tactics to boost up the traffic.
Total visitors to date: 283 (that’s including my visit as well), total page views 685. Not really impressive, I know.
my blog's visitors record as of today
You may notice that there were 5 days with zero visitors. It was due to my Google Analytics code I installed on this blog all of a sudden disappeared when I was modifying the theme colors and border setting. I use Flexibility 2 theme since the first day and I noticed that the GA code sometimes reset to blank after I modified some features, however I’m not really bothered by this issue because other than that problem I found this theme OK for me.
my blog's traffic sources as of today
I did no good with the search engines results. Google so far sent me 26 visitors only followed by 4 visitors from Bing and one from Yahoo!. This result is way below my expectation and I really have to dig up some real good keywords and put them into my internet marketing plans.
One of the most visited page on my blog is the About Me page. I believe people are looking for real person behind the blog and they landed on this page to find out.
While my search engines result is lame I’m quite pleased by how diigo.com sent visitors to my site. It so far sent me 52 visitors, almost doubled the search engines results combined together.
Other results I got so far:
Alexa Rank: 875,799
Google Page Rank: 0 (I hope it will change to 1 soon)
Backlinks: 385 (Yahoo! Site Explorer) and 356 (Iwebtool Backlink Checker)
My Internet Marketing Plans This Month:
- STAY FOCUS with what I’m doing now
- Working with my Twitter and video marketing
- Get some more Keywords to blend with my blog posts
- Re-watch Rich Schefren and Andrew Fox videos
- Commenting on some Do Follow blogs (I was pretty lazy doing this one)
- I have one PR1 tutorial blog (non-Internet Marketing related) that currently sends me roughly 50 visitors / day. I plan to build my list but I have nothing to offer. Instead of building my own product for the time being I will just contact two or three vendors at Clickbank and ask them whether they can provide me a 3-day or 7-day mini-course materials (of course with my Clickbank ID embedded there 
). If works then I can start building my own list there while at the same time I can expect some sales …
I can’t put too many things on the list, frankly speaking I’m overwhelmed and I should have more time to relax….
Talk soon,

Hey Rudi,
I did see a comment from Rob Canyon one day saying that he post comments on at least 10 blogs per day and I understand that because everyone I hit today, you guessed it, Rob has been there… I know I have been behind on this so today that is all I am doing, more on that below.
And don’t be so hard on yourself, look at the progress you made in the last couple of months and give yourself a pat on the back. We all had a steep learning curve and yes others might be ahead but who’s counting??? That’s right only you…
I pulled an 18 hour day yesterday working on a project and just feel burnt today so I’m surfing and posting comments all day. Still productive but not as intense…
Excellent post with Google Analytics, now you just have to test and tweek. Oh, make sure you take a break and refresh yourself once in awhile, it is amazing what a hour away will do for you.
