January is quickly coming to an end and at the end of each month I like to take some time and reflect on my blog performance. I take a look at my analytics, keywords that are driving traffic to my blog, and what my most popular posts are. This gives me a sense of what is working and what is not.
Just to give a quick recap, this is the 11th month of the Tycoon Blogger blog and I am happy to report that this blog has seen consistent growth in visitors each month. In January, over 14,000 visitors stopped by to read some blog promotion tips. The cool part is that Google is starting to give this blog some love and is referring a bulk of that traffic. Here are the top 5 traffic sources for the month of January:
I must admit that I am a little surprised that my Twitter traffic and my Blog Engage traffic was down pretty significantly versus the previous month. I am not all that concerned as long as my Google traffic continues to rise. As we all know Google traffic = Adsense Money

I am hoping that you found this round up interesting… I know that I really like reading about other bloggers monthly wrap ups. In fact, I am off to visit my favorite blogs right now to see what they have been up to.
Well, sounds like January was a good month for you. It’s better than Google traffic is picking up as that’s the main objective.
You say that Twitter traffic and Blog Engage traffic was down, what percentage compared to last month?

@George Serradinho, I was off by only 20 or so visitors on Twitter, but my Blog Engage traffic dropped from arounf three hundred in December to about half that in January. I think as BE increases in popularity it is getting harder to reach the first page.

Nice work, Dan. Looks like you’re quite satisfied with your performance in January and I’m happy for you too. Entrecard, I was using it during my Blogger platform year. I didn’t have it long though as my intention was to look for bloggers to connect with.
Glad you have some success with it. Wish you a much better month in February. Rock on.

@dankeller, thanks Dan! Unfortunately, nothing much was up in my blog due to busy workload and assignments. The busy schedule is going to kill me, but I’ll try my best to handle everything.
Cheers,
Lee

Dan that is really good for you, i mean 14000 visitors is a very good figure.
And i agree with george, that google should be your target for the top most traffic source, because it can give you major benefits.

14,000 visitors a month is great. What’s even better is that number is going up every month. Keep up the good work!
