200,000 PageViews Achieved for Blog

I achieved 200,000 pageviews for one of my blogs recently.  You can view it here at sgfinancialfreedom.blogspot.com . It has been an achievement just to cross that mark considering that I started out really just blogging for fun and to document my thoughts down as a web record.

$$$ from Ads
Over the years, I have managed to earn money from Adsense as well as selling adspace on my sites even though I must admit that I have not been very active in doing the latter.  Usually, I am approached by people who are advertisers.

No Time to Write Content
Content generation is really an issue.  A big issue.  Even for the blog that I mentioned above, I have not had much time to write.  The number of new posts for the year 2011 was dismal at less than 100 posts.  Other newer blogs have managed a far greater number of quality posts in 1 year compared to the few years that my site has been in existence.I also have to stop allowing guest posts of various content because I find that certain articles written by people hoping to put up a guest post on my site are just not suited for my readers.  So I have had to rely quite a fair bit on my own content which is difficult considering that I do not have much time to write each day.

Still, I must say that I have managed well.  And the adsense earnings are still coming in daily despite my apparent lack of action or activity.

New Record - 3483 Pageviews

I had a new record again yesterday. A total of 3483 page impressions for one of my sites in a single day. Needless to say, adsense earnings soared for another continuous day.

Of course this information might be totally useless to you. But if you think that some of your older blog postings will no longer be read, you will be surprised. There are certain events or news that might make your previous postings of interest to a much larger audience then you possibly know.

Let's imagine that you blogged about a little known person or topic 5 years ago. And if you keep doing it consistently, you might have clocked up a lot of interesting info about that person. One day, if the person becomes famous, guess what? Your postings are going to be read by thousands if not by millions or people all over the world!

So don't get discouraged by your current earnings. Keep on working at it and hopefully, the results will show one day.

Use LinkWithin to Increase Page Views

I would like to share a simple way that you can increase the number of page views on your site.

We all know that we want readers to navigate around our sites and one of the ways to do that is to include links to other articles at a convenient place after they have read an article.

I have implemented Linkwithin at my sites and noticed that page impressions do go UP.

So here is a fuss free way to enjoy higher pageviews. Implement it on your site today if you still have not done so.

Over 1000 Page Impressions (New Record)

On 25 Jan 2010, Monday...........I received my record page impressions!

The total page impressions for that day was 1031. Adsense earnings however was less than $3 for that day.

This only spurs me on to try to hit that 3000 page impressions target that I have set for myself this year.

Hopefully I will be able to achieve another record page impression for the month of February.

The trick I realised was to blog regularly at 2 of my most visited blogs. This helped to draw a constant stream of visitors I guess. January 2010 will indeed be a spectacular month in terms of page impressions, adsense earnings and stuff.

Getting geared up for February already.

I need to further improve in the following areas:

1. Expand this blog to include Adsense and blogging tips. (Not so much about adsense but more about blogging I guess) Afterall, there is only so much you can learn about adsense. Blogging is the key to driving traffic to your site and the traffic will do the job.

2. Increase my postings at improve the content of my posts.

3. Advertise my blogs further.

Another New Record

I hit another new record in page impressions today.

Total number of page impressions are 874 for the day.

This is totally amazing!

It seems like my visitor count just keeps increasing day after day.

I wonder when I will be able to hit the 1000 mark
