It’s been 2 weeks since my last update about the what’s going on with the blog challenge I’m participating in so I want to give you a quick idea of how it’s going.<\/p>\n

So first, let’s start with the numbers from my initial update:<\/p>\n

For my DareToGetPersonal.com blog<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u2026 In the first 17 days, there 663 unique visitors. In the past 18 days, there’s been an additional 408 unique visitors. Not bad! I expected a drop for a couple reasons. Initially, I’m guessing that many of the people who were doing the challenge along with me were stopping by, and I made sure to get my 3 posts per week done. That shows me that consistency pays off (I think anyway… I’ll have to watch and compare over the next couple weeks).<\/p>\n

For this one, my\u00a0DebiJ.com<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0blog… During that same time, there were 5 visitors more per day than I’d had prior to the challenge. Since then, there have been another 5 unique visitors per day… a total of 10 more per day since the challenge began. And with this site, I’m doing weekly updates rather than posting a couple times a week.<\/p>\n

I love that fact that I can watch my traffic grow. Right now, I don’t pay attention to total traffic since I think unique traffic is a better estimate of whether people are finding them organically. I may be way off because I’m not an SEO expert, but we’ll see.<\/p>\n
