I measure my 3 blogs’ progress toward goals. You can browse current and past entries in the CAN… category.
CAN stands for:
Circulation: Incoming links.
Analytics: # of visitors
Net: Money made or key takeaways. (Because money isn’t everything.)
I often use shorthand in referring to my blogs:
PFTFF: Postcards from the Funny Farm
DATSOL: Damien at the Speed of Life

I am realizing that since I have 3 blogs, setting simple goals to report and review every month might be impossible. I hope you’ll hang with me while I try a few things.
When making goals I always start with the end in mind. What is it that I want from blogging?
A large audience [...]
In another post, I explained my blogging goals have changed.
Here is how I’ll measure progress toward goals.
C - Circulation. My Wordpress dashboard and Google BlogSearch.
A - Association. CoComment.com records every comment I leave.

From the revised CAN page:
It has been said: “If you aim at nothing, you will surely hit it.”
That’s why I rate my own blogs monthly.
It’s also been said that if you do [...]
To keep track of the several income sources these blogs now have I like to do little progress reports sometimes around mid-month. I know a lot of new bloggers out there reading could benefit by these posts, plus they help me stay focused on the important stuff to reach my monthly goals. I want to [...]
My C.A.N. results on all three blogs in August 2008 are detailed below. Some things could have gone better, but that is an “as always” thing. More things went right than ever before. I am very happy about these results across all three blogs.

My CAN. Goals for my new “online diary” here at DATSOL were met and surpassed based on preliminary August results (I still have until the 31st and will publish the final results then). Thank you to all my friends new and old who have visited, commented, and allowed me to guestblog on your blogs.

To review, August goals are:
Circulation: 1 incoming link in the form of a guest blog.
Analytics: 600 visitors for the month.
Net: $10 not possible since paid post companies require at least 20 posts within the last 90 days. Will work on getting this met and applying in August as my NET goal.
As of [...]
I write these posts monthly to inform and entertain my readers about the progress of this blog.
I base my goals and progress on 3 criteria:
