Jobs With Google - How Do You Know If Your Blog Is Successful?
One cannot determine if the venture or endeavor has been successful and decide if there is a need to invest more effort and resources, without proper measurement, after all. Is to be able to measure the success of the venture, or a blog, putting products to sell online, advertising campaign, or website, one very important aspect of any Internet endeavor - regardless of whether it is an email promotion.
Some of these measures are becoming less significant, but as Internet technology has evolved over the past few years, using the correct measurement is also critical - because there are a couple of measures which worked in the past.
Here are three ways you can use to measure the success of your blog.
Comments
Blog posts that touch on very popular and controversial topics should garner more comments, normally. It is valuable to not that the number of comments is tagged with how controversial your blog topic is, in doing this, however. The number of comments you get for every post that you make on your blog is the first good measure of success of your blog. Comments measure the quality of the post in terms of the ability to create conversation. Blogs are all about creating conversations!
You are doing a good job in writing and promoting your blog, if your comments have been increasing in number! Measurement in terms of blog comments should be done probably best by the month. It would be unfair to measure the number of comments day by day, that said.
Readers of Your Feed
The blogger is able to track how many subscriptions there are to your feed, using popular feed management tools like Feedburner. People subscribe to your feed only if they find the contents of your blog interesting and when they see the value in receiving the latest updates to your blog.
So it is important to use this measure alongside other measures, and subscription to your feed does not necessarily mean that people are reading your feed, again feed readership will fluctuate.
Unique Visitors
Especially on days you spent tweaking your blog template, it would be easy to contribute significantly to your own page views, editing and posting on your blog all day and night, because if you are a fan of your own blog, i emphasize unique, in this. One of the better ways to measure the success of a blog is the number of unique visitors coming in to your blog.
Or someone notices your post and email the link to your post to his or her mailing list of a million people, it is also valuable to note that there will be traffic spikes - like at times when your blog post gets Digged, in using unique visitors.
It is important to use the ones that work well for the current practices in Internet trends, while there are multitudes of ways in which one can measure success. Measuring the success of any Internet venture is critical, in conclusion.
