I love google analytics because it really gives me details on what Im doing well and what I can improve on. Plus, I love that I can see how many absolutely unique viewers I had and the amount of time they spent reading, what they've clicked further, what page they exited on, etc. I feel like I somehow turned into a sales person for google, but in general it gives me hope that even though I feel like I cannot compete with the big fish I am reaching people!
Plus, it is exciting when coworkers comment on your blog posts. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Ooh, thanks for this! I was wondering the same thing!Originally Posted by internetchick /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Yes. I use Feedburner (a Google product), and it tells me how many are subscribed.

I don't have tons of traffic on my blog. I think I have 11 followers (most of the are from MuT LOL) but I try and blog as often as I can. Mostly FOTD's. I'm going to be doing another haul. I find that those are popular. I have a FB and when I do a new blog post I put it on Twitter. I don't have a lot of followers but I get a lot of readers.
I got some feed back from friends about the layout of my blog. And one thing that I find is that when ppl visit ur blog if they don't like the design, they won't read it so try and ask ur friends to take a peek and see if there's anything u can tweak.
I'm really new at this so take my advice with a grain of salt lol

This! If I can't read the font I'm moving on. It may look nice and fancy but if the color is too faint or it's a weird font. I'm out of there. Along the same lines though, I sometimes think my blog is too plain. I'm up to 15 followers I think and I'm pretty excited. I never really expected anyone to read it! LOL.

That's a good point! I always worry about if my blog looks okay...i'm not actually sure how to spruce it up. How do you add your own background?

Im the same way with font. It has to be a shade of grey or black and a standard arial, times new roman, or my eyes freak out. On my first blog I had a light pink background and darker pink font, but someone thankfully complained that it was hard to read so I switched to black.
My blog currently has 7 followers on GFC And 5 on Google Reader. I want more! Im so jealous of all the girls with thousands of readers. But I shouldn't be greedy, I started my blog only last month! I was featured on the Beauty Army newsletter, but they got the link to my blog wrong /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> They had me owning my own .com and didnt have it listed at blogspot. So that was a waste of exposure. They did apologize and feature me on the fb page though.
Do you guys have any good feedback for my layout? (http://mesjoiesdevivre.blogspot.com)
