These blog traffic reports come by so fast, good thing I enjoy creating them. This is the month that I’ve finally broken through to over 4,000 page views. While that may not be a big deal to you, to me it is.
I know what you’re thinking, pageviews don’t matter. Page views don’t buy our products and services.
If you’re thinking this, then I am going to show you why I love growing my blog and getting more traffic. Of course I know the whole concept of getting targeted traffic, otherwise, you’re just wasting your time.

Hi Susan,
I’m truly impressed at what you have done so far with your blog. Yes, I agree with you, Pinterest is a great traffic source, but one has to learn the ropes in order to get it right.
Furthermore, long-form content is the way to go. Even though some bloggers say and publish short-form content, the truth is that you can’t get in-depth information you can implement and see remarkable results.
And as you mentioned, you cannot rank to competitive keywords, this true for new bloggers, instead search for long-tail keywords that are less competitive. These types of keywords will help you rank high on SERP.
Thanks for sharing this incredible post!
Hi Moss,
You’re right Pinterest is finally starting to like me. That’s only because I am doing more than just scheduling pins with an automated scheduler. I love automated schedulers, but you can’t rely on them to do all the work. (at least that’s what I’ve found)
Like you, I’ve had better luck with long-form content. I’ve actually experimented with both and I prefer the long form and it just gets better results.
Of course, everyone’s blog is different, that’s why it’s important to test things out. Glad to hear that you’ve found what works best for you.
I’ve actually been spending more time on keyword research, so only time will tell.
Glad you enjoyed the post, I really enjoy writing them.
Have a great day 🙂

Sue I love that you are big on following your feelings, letting go what does not feel good and following what’s working. Many cling to strategies that don’t feel good and that don’t bring results. Not good. I learned to let go or pull back on publishing frequency with YouTube and Sound Cloud podcasts so I could focus on guest posting and blog commenting. Gotta make that shift to see things grow.
Congrats on your growth! That is wonderful.

Hi Ryan,
That’s one thing that I’ve learned in my years online. You have to see what’s working and focus on that.
I’ve also cut back on my YouTube videos. Glad to hear that commenting and guest posting are doing fabulous for you.
Have a great day 🙂

Hi Susan,
Wow…you really lay it out on what is working and what isn’t. Tracking your traffic is so important. I do a bit of it myself, but not as good as you. Girl you are an inspiration for me!

Hello, Susan Thanks for this amazing tips in your article.You have said about using Pinterest.
I will be using Pinterest from now onwards.
Thank you for this tips.
Susan, thanks so much for the post! Great info for newbies (today marks one week of blogging) like my wife and me.
We are working hard to understand the Pinterest game. Tailwind seems like it’s going to really help with our pinning strategy.
I appreciate your comments on obsessing over analytics. I am certainly one to fall into that trap.
Congrats on your success and keep up the good work. I’ll be reading out here in the Twitterverse.

Hi Donna,
I just started getting more serious about it a few months ago. I feel it’s important to see what’s actually working and what isn’t.
Thanks, I’m glad that you enjoyed the article.
Have a great day 🙂

Hi Steve,
Welcome to my blog and congrats to you and your wife for starting your blog. Blogging is really fun, but there’s soo much to learn.
I think most new bloggers become obsessed with their Analytics, I know I did.
I have no doubt that you guys will reach your goals.
Good luck on your blogging journey.
Have a great day 🙂
Susan
