Well, this blog has been “active” for a little over a month now, I suppose. The first post was made on December 12, 2007. You can check it out here! I’ve made a few posts since then. Obviously not as many as I’d like to, but I’ve had an unstable internet connection, all of which should change soon when I move into my family’s new house. By family, I do mean Mom and Dad’s but I do own 25% of the house, which is pretty good for a 22 year old.

Anyway, how has this blog been doing since it’s started? Here are a few of the statistics:

Google Pagerank = 2 - I’m actually pretty pumped about this. I’ve done pretty well I think. It’s good enough to at least get a start on becoming a major authority in this blogging niche, and I do plan on that. I’m pretty happy that a majority of the blogs in my network (perhaps even all) have a pagerank now. This should really help with advertising, as it makes all of the mentions on this blog worth even more! I haven’t changed the pricing on advertising though, so you may want to check that out!

Alexa Ranking - 1,067,921 - Not bad considering the age of the blog. I do agree that other blogs have grown faster, but I probably haven’t worked too hard at promoting this one. I wish I had promoted it more, but it does seem to be doing ok regardless. Many people will say that Alexa rankings don’t really matter, since they are skewed towards the people who use the alexa toolbar (which I don’t use), but it is a metric that still matters. If it didn’t matter, then no one would check them out and they would be out of business. The fact that people still use them makes them matter.

Technorati Authority - 16 - Rank - 517,455 - Again, not too bad considering how new the blog is. Many of the links coming in are through Entrecard link love, which many people posted, and I’m very grateful for. I hope that I can create a lot more content that you guys will link to, and hopefully comment on. A contest should help things out here too, which would be great!

If you haven’t already….Add to Technorati Favorites

So there it is, that’s how this blog stands about a month in. I’m pretty happy about it, and I hope that you will continue to join me as I try to help all of us gain some more Blog Greens! How have your blogs been doing… anybody seen huge increases in your rankings?
