Monthly visitors increased by 7 pct when compared to Feb 2008, and surpassed 6K for the first time

Visitors:

Below figures has been taken from sitemeter.com as of this morning:

My aim is to keep on increasing the visit numbers by 7 pct each and every month until the rest of the year. In other words I target 11K visits by the end of December 2008. I started April very well, and April visits are already 1K in three days(Thanks to SEO Elite!)

RSS Subscribers:

By December 27, 2007 my blog had around 100 RSS subscribers daily. Read the previous report here How I Quadrupled My Blog’s Traffic In 3 Months

By the end of March 2008 RSS subscribers are at 180. I aim to have 200 RSS readers by the end of April.

Technorati Rank:

On December 27, 2007 my blog’s Technorati performance looked like below:

Technorati rank : 124,132 (Authority 60) - 185 blog reactions to Search For Blogging

Three months later, the new ranking looks like below:

Technorati rank : 19,371 (Authority 267) - 611 blog reactions to Search For Blogging

This is a major success story. However my target is to be in top 5000 by the end of 2008. Read my 2008 Goals here. I invested on SEO Elite which will hopefully improve my Technorati ranking as well.

Alexa Rank:

My Alexa rank was 253,520 by December 27, 2007. Now it is 81,154. My blog will probably be listed in top 50,000 by the end of June 2008. See Alexa performance graph below:

As my target is to make money from blogging, I am very satisfied with the increasing Alexa and Technorati rankings.
