Well, this blog hits 3 months old in a few days and although I have seen traffic spikes, I have not yet really seen a lot of regular traffic to it. The Page Rank is still 0, but then the update was only about 3 weeks after the site was published.

So, the start of a new challenge for me! I set myself the challenge and then decided that this blog would be the best tool to take up the challenge with. And here it is.

By the time that this blog hits 6 months old – early September – I am aiming to be seeing around 1,000 visits per week to the blog. Hopefully, this will tie in with a good Page Rank, but the next rank update must be around the corner and not again before the challenge. And anyway, what is Page Rank if you have decent traffic.

I will be investigating and using a variety of tricks to try to generate new visitors to the site. Those that work will be continued and reported back as successful ways forward. Those that fail may get a mention, with a cry for help if anyone knows how to make it work!

Of course, in this time I am hoping that I will be able to really monetise the website and that again will be getting a mention. Those methods I like and those that don’t work will be being talked about.

So, some base line statistics! Well today it is PR0 and Alexa 2,563,883 and that is from around 50 to 100 page views per week.

Well, what techniques am I going to be using to start to generate more traffic to the blog? Call back tomorrow and I will have the preliminary list of ideas!
