For the past 12 months now I have managed to make a few blog posts every month. Last march I decided to really take an interest in my blog. I started this off by setting myself the task of blogging consistently for the whole month of March.

For the first 7 or 8 months I was doing reasonably well with my blog posting, once it hit December I barely made any posts, I know that during the winter months I work a lot more as I have no college and I think this is reflected on my blog for that period of time, as I would be working until midnight most nights.

Now however that is not the case, I am back to working normal hours and really have no excuse not to try and get more posts up more regularly.

Just to show what having an interest in your blog and with regular blog postings the stats really do go up! After my first month of blogging, for the full month of march, my blog received 716 unique visits which is incredible compared to what I my blog was receiving before I took an interest. In January 2009 I had only 127 unique visits! So I am really happy that by having an interest in my site it really will pay off, when people come to my site from Google for example, I think it’s great, and it is even better when they get what they are looking for and comment!

Now since starting blogging regularly my blog’s visitor count has rocketed up, my monthly unique visits now average between 12,000 and 13,000 unique visits . My daily visitor count is 500 unique visitors on average!

This really makes me want to take more interest in my blog once again. If I can increase my traffic that much in one year, it will be interesting to see these same stats in another year. The percentage increase of visitors to my blog compared to the same time last year is just over 8,000%!
