Quarterly Update - January to March 2009Quarterly Update - January to March 2009

Posted April 3rd, 2009 in Monthly Roundup

At the start of this year I outlined some goals for the year for this blog. This included gowing the numbers of monthly pageviews from 60k to 600k and the number of RSS subscribers from 100 to 1000. Now that we're a quarter of the way through the year I decided it would be a good idea to look at see how it's all going and if I'm on target.

To achieve a tenfold gain like this requires a 21.15% increase month on month of pageviews and 21.65% month on month growth for RSS subscribers. So far I'm pretty much bang on with the pageviews and a touch off with the RSS subcribers as shown in the table below.

  Pageviews RSS Subscribers

December 2008   60,073     95  
January 2009 72,778 75,372 25.5% 116 115 21.1%

April 2009 129,411          
May 2009 156,781          
June 2009 189,940          
July 2009 230,112          
August 2009 278,781          
September 2009 337,743          
October 2009 409,176          
November 2009 495,717          
December 2009 600,561          

I'll update this again after the second quarter of the year, at the end of June.
