I tweeted this question a few days back and the variation in responses was quite interesting:

What metric or statistic do you most watch on your blog?

There’s no right or wrong answer to this:

for some it’ll be mainly about traffic – for some it is visitor numbers, for others it will be page views.other bloggers are more interested in subscriber numbers – against there is variation here, RSS and/or Email subscribers.some bloggers are more regularly checking the bottom line – earnings. This might be affiliate earnings, advertising earnings or even the sales of their own products.another group of bloggers are more interested in reader engagement – so comment numbers, ReTweet counts or Facebook ‘likes’ might grab their attentionsome bloggers are more focused upon the social media space and are monitoring Twitter or Facebook follower/friend numbers or how often they are replied to or interacted with.other bloggers get more into the more detailed stats – looking at things like bounce rate, time on site, page views per visit, referrals (where traffic is arriving from) or looking at what the most popular posts are doing in terms of traffic.further still, other bloggers are more into SEO and are always analyzing how many links are coming into their blog, how their blog ranks for certain keywords etc.Of course there are more things to watch – but for you, what’s the #1 metric that you tend to be drawn to throughout your day or week? And why?

For me it varies a little depending upon what I’m focusing upon.

For example – during a product launch I’m obviously looking more at sales of eBooks, conversion numbers and at testing sales pages.

On a normal day I’m probably checking traffic numbers and watching for spikes in traffic so that I can take quick action to leverage them. I tend to check income streams a little less often (once a day) during a ‘normal’ day.

Difficulties with your Blog? Try these three simple tips

It is difficult to create a blog with success! You can have lots of content and post often follow that all rules of the top bloggers-and still not get traffic, visitors and sales you deserve.

There are three major rules to a successful blog lacking many bloggers relève.Dans this post, I share them with you... and show you how to implement quickly!

Rule No. 1: get a real email autoresponder service until it was too late.

Many bloggers are a critical error: they only icons RSS and/or Feedburner subscription e-mail subscriptions on their blogs.Nous will expand each of these and look at why these are severely hinder your ability to make money with your blog:

RSS icon: blog readers more still do not know what is RSS or how to use it. Unfortunately, even with the advent of Google Reader, RSS is still not mainstream.

Even for technical blogs, I is not yet recommended RSS as the main option.Why? if you are offering products to your audience, you want to create an emergency. Email is that people consider email appears in their most urgent inboxes and often take immediate action. RSS is a more passive method; many blog readers do not read their RSS subscriptions every day. If you are selling products or make a sale limited in time, a subscriber e-mail is worth much more than a subscriber.feedburner email RSS subscriptions: it seems an excellent idea, it is not?You can simply plop a piece of code on your site and Feedburner will automatically email your subscribers of your latest blog posts.

Unfortunately, Feedburner suffers from many of the same issues as RSS.It may take up to 24 hours to send the email, which means that if you are maintaining a sale 1 day, your subscribers e-mail Feedburner peuvent Miss.Also, you cannot send (other than automated) separate e-mails to your list.If you want to remind your list a listing ends or to obtain a product until it was too late, you will need to write an instead... blog, post and then wait up to 24 hours for Feedburner to email .it ' is a bad solution, and I regret ever offer on my blog. (I still have hundreds of Feedburner "blocked" on my list, subscribers are not on my list of aweber).

I recommend aweber for any blogger grave.Certes, their solution costs money .but you will much more money with it … so much more that you pay for the solution.Je aweber $ 66 per month for my 5 500 payroll
