I just wanted to do a quick post about what I plan on doing in the next couple of weeks and where I am at as of right now.

Although list building is my key focus, I am learning about different traffic generating methods in Alex’s course.

Some of the traffic methods we have learned about so far include blog commenting, social media and video marketing.

I will be posting about each method as I work through them.

Just to show where I am at right now, here is a snapshot of my Google Analytics page for this blog for the month of February.

This is my traffic for February 1 – 10, 2010.

My lifetime blog stats are as follows:

950 Visits
1929 Pageviews
2.03 page/visit
64.43 % bounce rate
3.10 average time on site
70.63% new visits

Yes, I know, not too impressive. LOL

I originally started my blog back in July, 2009 and have done a little here and there, but now I am actually taking action on everything I am learning through Alex Jeffrey’s training.  Right now I’m getting about 5-15 visitors a day, but I plan to see that increase over the coming weeks. I’ll let you know everything that I am doing to build the traffic I generate.

I just want to make a quick post showing where my stats are at the beginning. That way I can show my progress as the weeks pass.

I haven’t received too much traffic yet, but really I’ve only been focusing on getting some content on my blog first.

I’ll continue to post about what I have learned and more tips on how to set up your Wordpress blog, but now I am going to start focusing more on building traffic. I’ll post about what I’m doing and show stat updates so that you can see how it is working.

Here is a screen shot of my Google analytics page. As you can see, it’s not impressive at the moment. So far the most visits in one day has been 30. This is just the start though. Everyone has to start somewhere. In a few weeks time I plan to show you a lot higher numbers.

I’m looking forward to those updates! Stay tuned.
