I always love it when I see other bloggers posting their stats. You can learn interesting things by seeing what’s working for other people and the stats just don’t lie. Every month I’ll try to post the stats for two reasons:

1. So I can share my experience in building traffic with you in hopes you’ll learn from it.
2. This will force me to take a good look at my stats and what they mean.

PLUS – posting them monthly will be a public motivator to try to beat my last month’s stats. I have to credit Johnathan for posting stats on his blog and prompting me to want to do the same here.

Some of the content pages above have been changed around. The /blog and /site pages are all pointing to the main page now and I have taken down the services page for now as I want this to just be my blog.

What I Did

Well I didn’t do a whole lot in September to promote this blog at all because I was just working on getting it set up the way I wanted. Here are just a few things I did:

• Did a co-post with Kelly McCausey on WAHM 2.0  called 13 Ways We Had to Change Our Mindset to Success as Single WAHMs
• Linked from Twitter a couple of times
• Linked in my signature on Mom Masterminds
• Put the link in my outgoing email (gmail) signature
