Well here we are, a bit behind on my weekly update for progress of the piss biscuit… but none the less, here it is. I’m on my laptop baby sitting my puppy “Bella Monster”, and being that I don’t have any fancy graphics software on it, I’m forced to re-use my graphics from week 1… but somehow I think I’m the only one really all that worried about it  

Traffic Stats

Traffic is an amazing thing. It’s a living breathing organism. It can be fun, but very frustrating to watch! Over on The Affiliate Post’s blog, I wrote a little bit about the traffic stats of my MMO blog (I bet you all didn’t think I had one of those huh?) Anyway, it’s pulling in between 300 and 500 bucks a week, so it’s not doing to badly, but it’s not making me rich either.

The point is, that when looking at stats of a blog that makes no money on purpose, it’s really hard to build an honest comparison when all you’ve got to compare it with is a blog of a whole different niche. Kind of sucks for success junkie like myself but, you guys are teaching me how to work through the ups and downs of blogging and so I wanted to once again update you all with the progress of this blog.

Alright then! These are my newest site stats for those of you interested. I’m pleased with the progress taking all things considered… like my bout of depression But as always, I’d like to know what you guys and gals think. It would be interesting to see your opinions yet gain on how YOU think we’re doing here!

 

Alright guys, I was going to post the second article in my blog design series series titled “Making Your Blog Sexy”. But low and behold at 2:00 this morning I felt the need to post a little information on the progress of this blog. We’ve talked about a lot over this past week and I think it would be good to share the lessons learned and get some feedback on what has been happening here. You all know, that I like sharing information that betters our blogging community, so here is my first public contribution to building a btter blog.

The Piss Biscuit was launched officially on May 28th making us one week old. So what better time than now to show you guys the fruits of OUR labors.

Traffic Stats

Traffic is an interesting thing and many people have different views on what is and isn’t important. So instead of trying to figure out what number you’d like to see, I’ll just start with a list of stats that I feel is important to MY motivation… If I miss something that you’d like to know more about, just hollar and I’ll be more than happy to go dig it up for ya.

Well there you go, just a quick content oriented look at some of Piss Biscuit’s stats after one week in business. Did I miss anything? And for those of you who have had blogs longer than a week, what do you think? What were your experiences? I know mine are not all that great… but I think it’s progress. What do you think? What are some goals I should set for this blog? Thanks again ladies and gents, for everything!
