One Month In

Hi Guys, so here we are again.

If you saw my previous post you will know I have committed to giving a monthly update as to my progress (or otherwise) with my website.

I for one find these kind of posts interesting, especially ones that turn into success stories. So, particularly for newbies out there, I am hoping to help and inspire with these updates.

Anyway, if you remember, my website was born on 15th September and I can now report on its first full month of life. That is 15th September - 14th October.

Initial Goals

Very simple - Religeously follow the training in the 'Hubs' and publish one blogpost a day. The idea being to lay down a foundation of posts which I would go back to and edit/improve as and when I have the foundation in place.

So here are the cold hard facts:

Period in question = 30 days.
Published posts = 26
Of those 26 posts, 21 have been indexed by Google.
And most encouraging, I started to get impressions, literally on the 14th October.

So, all in all, mission accomplished. On the subject of impressions, it was only 10 but it is a start and I can give a sneak report the next few days have seen an increase. More of that next month.

The Month Ahead

To continue to publish a post a day.
Begin to bulk write allowing me to free up time to to allow me to begin the editing process.
Begin to introduce internal linking to keep any visitors on the site longer.

One Last Thing

On the 17th October, I fired up another website I had started and abandoned in April of last year. It was a very new site so essentially is being reborn. I will keep you updated on this one too.

My current focus is on my headline site and will continue to be until I have built in some inertia. I will then increase attention onto this 2nd site.

That's It, see you next month.

Bytheway, if you are interested, you can find the URL of the sites on my profile. Any questiuons or comments are more than welcome. Please be kind.

Cheers, until next month.
