Blogging goals for 2008

December 20, 2007 · 9 comments

In the last four months, JakeBouma.com has gained a lot of exposure in the blogosphere. As with any blog, this is partly due to my efforts (blog redesign & contest, frequency of posting, quality of content, etc.), and party due to the readers. In addition, I was honored to be selected as a member blog for The Daily Scribe.

It is my hope that in 2008 JakeBouma.com continues to grow in popularity and readership and that I continue to be faithful to the medium of blogging. Therefore, I am laying out a few goals for 2008 to give me something for which to aim.

  • Increase my RSS readership to at least 200. Right now it fluctuates between 85 and 95 (it was only 20 at the end of August).
  • Increase my Technorati authority to above 100, and rank in the top 50,000 (I'm not sure how the two are tied together).
  • Increase my average daily unique visitors to 250 (right now it averages at around 120).
  • Increase visibility through social bookmarking sites like Digg and StumbleUpon. (Here is my Digg profile and StumbleUpon profile... let's be friends).
  • Design a new logo for the top of the blog.

    • If you have your own blog, I encourage you to come up with some of your own goals for 2008. If you're a reader, what would you like see for JakeBouma.com in 2008? Leave a comment and let me know!
