Its time for another Think Traffic monthly report! In this report we’ll also be including details of what went on over at our case study blog Expert Enough.
Last month was interesting for a number of reasons. It was the first full month for Expert Enough. Between the two blogs we published 22 posts, (with over half written by guest authors). We launched the Expert Enough podcast and published content on all kinds of topics from chocolate to blogging to goal setting.
We now run three blogs through our tiny business with just two full time people. Over the past few months, we’ve become a micro publisher.
No longer are we simply bloggers. This isn’t a good or bad thing necessarily, but it does present some unique challenges, which I’ll discuss later in this report.
We saw 30,113 visits this month (versus 32,441 last month). There was a slight decline in this month’s traffic to TT, as we also saw last December, but if you include traffic from our case study blog of Expert Enough we had over 47,000 visits to our two sites in December.

I’ve been a long time blogger, and believe me, I both know and appreciate the amazing power of a good guest post for bringing in intelligent and interested readers.
The thing is, since I often blog outside of the blogging/marketing/writing topics, I know (as you might) how hard it is to utilize guest posting for certain topics.
My guest posting problem was really evident with this niche: music blogs almost never accept guest posts, because their “articles” are really just posts with media (audio & video), so there really is no need to have another author write for you.
Despite this, I wanted to accomplish what every blogger sets out to do: run a successful site based on my interests.
I’ve done it before, but in each case I’ve always harnessed the power of guest blogging and writing epic shit.
Now that this wasn’t an option, I needed to find another way… [Continue reading…]
The Million Dollar Blog Project is all about creating a blog that produces consistent income for you over time. In other words, it is about building a business.
If you’ve been around the blogosphere for a little while, you’ve probably seen how much emphasis is put on blog comments. Commenting on other people’s blogs is important. Receiving comments on your own blog is important.
Or is it?
While there are definitely benefits to commenting, there is one fundamental flaw with this generalization…
How important, really, are comments to your business goals?
Assuming your blog isn’t just a hobby, but rather you blog for business purposes, blog comments may not be important at all!
