I broke fifty!

24 September, 2006 (19:33) | Increasing Website Traffic | By: Erik

Yeah that would be a nice 18 round golf score, (one with a few holes in one I would think), but that’s not what I’m talking about. For the first time in this blogs short existence, it broke 51 readers via the rss feed. I use feedburner because I like the tracking of readers it does, and the tracking site is pretty sassy and easy on the eyes.

I’ve been hovering between 44 and 48 for about 4 months now (pretty pathetic, I know) and have been waiting for a time when I could write this dang post. Not sure why I think 50 is a good number, and I’ve read before that you shouldn’t even show your readers your feed stats until you’re over 150, (sorry no link couldn’t find where I read that before, but it must have been a credible source :) ), but none-the-less I am going to keep my stats up there for all to see.

I think when you see someone’s stats you feel like your becoming part of something, even if it is my small little something, it’s something.

I’ve found a renewed vigor to keep going on this online craziness that I’ve gotten myself into. I keep thinking of new ideas and finding new ways to make those ideas come to fruition. My brother is also helping motivative me which I think is helping out a lot and we are going to begin working on a joint project in the coming months that could turn into something good.

Thanks all you readers and I hope I’ve been helpful and entertaining over the last few months.

Congrats buddy. You gotta celebrate those milestones. We’ve both come a long way since we started our blogs last year (you’ve just gone a lot farther…) :)

Congrats on hitting 50 RSS readers. I also use FeedBurner and think it is probably the best RSS subscriber tracking system out there. Although, my blogs aren’t quite at 50 readers yet. Anyways, congrats!
