Blog Stats from February 1 to March 1, 2009
This is a monthly feature here where I measure my 3 blogs’ progress. My goal with this series is to provide 100% transparency. You can browse current and past entries in the CAN… category. First I list the CAN data for each blog. Then I reflect with a few notes.

C = Circulation, or backlinks

Notes: Stats this month are pretty flat. I like to see Postcards at 10-15,000 visitors a month and it was way below that. The main reason for this is because a human only has enough energy in a day. As I have taken on the weekly podcast and committed to a schedule of posting through the blogs throughout the week, I have taken away some of that energy from Postcards. For what I do, that’s not the end of the world. I am making money through Text-Link-Ads and sponsored posts on three blogs. For me (and my kids who get ice cream off my PayPal card) I’d rather share the energy across multiple blogs. I feel good about my posts and the energy that I am broadcasting through the podcast. The backlinks are holding, 2 blogs went up, one went down and the podcast remains at zero.
If you have any good ideas on getting backlinks, do tell. Advertisers do look at that criteria.
No goals this month other than to keep my posting schedule and do the usual stuff I have been doing for months. As always, I want to be open to your questions and comments through this series. If you think of something you want explained, think of this blog as my wireless alarm The comment box is waiting for you. You’ve seen my results and read my notes, what do you have to say? Is there something I missed you’d like to discuss? How were your CAN results last month?
