I ended up on bed rest just as I got my blogs up and running well, and then I had several weeks without internet access due to a move. I lost all my readers except one or two family members, so I'm building from the beginning again. Even though the series was written a year ago, the world building series I did on The Tekaran Lady is still tops for that blog. The 52 Week Challenge posts are doing well on the work-at-home-mom blog. Amanda´s last blog post..The Challenge Begins Its Spread!

I have to take some time to learn how to read stats. I use AWstats through my cpanel at Host Gator but really don't get all of it. Angie (Losing It and Loving It)´s last blog post..Exercise tips from around the web

I have noticed the same as Jendi, that I can pinpoint when I'm doing things "out" around the internet, and how that drives traffic back to my blog. My primary traffic sources are about 3 referring sites. I'm lucky if I get 15-20 visitors/day. Angela Green´s last blog post..I am an intern!

Google Analytics says my visitors range from 28 to 120. Sitemeter says I average around 70 per day.
My croc shoes video and giveaway are the 2 top posts. My Jendi Jean Bags page still pulls in a bunch of traffic. Then it’s one I wrote about thousand leggers and the next is how to dry a cell phone. Umm – no focus here.
I notice change in traffic by how active I’ve been in the blogosphere by commenting or linking.

This is an excellent post. I have read post that says look at your stats, but what exactly am I looking for and why. You have told me exactly what I need to do and most importantly how I need to do it. I am going to look at my stats right now. Okay according to my stats I'm getting about 20 something visitors a day (how can I really average that out?) This is not great at all. I also looked at my top content and definitely giveaways gave me an incredible boost of traffic. My readers like post about marriage, relationships, motherhood, and postpartum body. Man thank you for being so clear on your steps. I love it! Felicia - I Complete Me´s last blog post..A Reality Check

This is a great post! I think a lot of us jump right to the make money part and totally skip the step of analyzing their stats. I can definitely tell you are very serious about making a profit from your blog – good for you!
