Quarterly 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.
