Hi! I'm Allen and I welcome you to my blog. I blog mainly about my blogging experiences where I get to learn how to earn money online through blogging and have fun doing so. To learn more about my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. If you have some questions, feel free to ask me by using my contact form. Thank and have a nice day.
At the start of the year, I gave myself ten goals. Now after 3 months, here’s the updates on them.

Goal # 1 : A new blog theme
Status = Done! I achieved this last January 2007 by installing a new blog theme.
Goal # 2 : Increase number of unique visitors per day to 1000
January = ~391 uniques
February = ~627 uniques
March = ~622 aww it dropped
So far so good. Just 400 more.
Goal # 3 : Increase RSS Subscribers to 300
Wow! I have reached this goal! Currently I have 342 subscribers!!! Although most of them are email subscribers. Want to join them? Then please subscribe to my feeds.
Goal # 4 : Decrease bounce rate to 50%
Bounce rate is still high. I blame powerdropping.com as one of the reasons. I should ban visitors from that site. hehe
January - 61.28%
February - 67.46%
March - 65.06%
Goal # 5 : Must not be late in reaching out weekly
Aww I’ve skipped some reaching out weekly so I fail this goal
Goal # 6 : Increase Page Rank to 4 or 5
Ha! Google spare me! ^_^
Goal # 7 : Reach a five figure Alexa Rank
Hey hey, today I just checked and my Alexa Rank is now 88,462! Goal!
Goal # 8 : Set up another blog
I have made two other blogs but I’m still not making enough money from them. Soon if they won’t convert, I’ll scrap them. ^_^
Goal # 9 : Earn $100 a month through blogging
Counting adsense and paid posts, I should be able to reach this soon. My adsense has great lately for the months of February and March!
Adsense for January - $4.77 bwahahaa
Adsense for February - $40.33
Adsense for March - $62.61
Goal # 10 : Have fun blogging!
I’m currently having fun but sometimes, I feel like it’s work so I stop once in a while and do other things.
Hmmm only 3 out of 10 so far. I believe I can do better! ^_^

2I am very impressed by your progress so far. A 1.6 increase in traffic is pretty impressive. Congrats. 40 dollars in adsense is really good too!

8@Eli - Actually these goals are good for one year. I was just writing this as a checkpoint. But you are right, you really need something specific.

14@Phaelun - Hello. Hmm ok, I’ll share. On February, it was due to the Valentine’s event. In March, it was Pacquiao. Ranking in search engines really does help earning in adsense

15Looks good, except for the income part. Surely you can do better than that. Maybe you should take a look at some more advertisers. I feel that, given your traffic & stats, you can do a lot better.
