Online Tech Tips blogging goals for 2008
Posted on December 21, 2007 at 11:25 am
DailyBlogTips is running a cool group writing project where everyone is supposed to write a post about their 2008 goals for blogging. I’m participating because not only are the prizes great (free themes), but it’s also a good way to actually set up some realistic goals and try to achieve them for the next year!
I started this blog in March of 2007 and it’s been exceeding my expectations for far in terms of traffic and money, but like the perfectionist I like to be, I want it to be way better in many ways! So here’s my list of goals that I HOPE to reach in 2008!
Daily Unique Visitors
Currently: ~6000, Goal: ~12000 – This is definitely going to be tough, but if I can keep getting good links in and keep my posting up to schedule, I would love to double my traffic! This might be too much, but I think it could be attainable.
FeedBurner RSS Subscribers
Currently: ~1250, Goal: ~3000 -This is a more ambitious goal! I hope to triple my readership by the end of next year! Will take some hard work and promoting, but if I can get enough referral traffic from social sites, it could be possible!
Number of Posts Daily
Currently: ~2, Goal: ~3 - Currently I am able to write about 2 posts a day, which is decent, but not where I want to be. I would like to get at least 3 a day if I can by 2008.
Total Comments on Blog
Currently: ~1094, Goal: ~4000 - I really hope to increase the number of comments that I have on the blog! In about 9 months, I’ve gotten 1000 comments, hopefully next year I can get double or triple that for a total of 4000+.
Alexa Ranking
Currently: ~51464, Goal: <40000 - I’m guessing if I can double my traffic like mentioned above, then I should be able to get below 40,000 in Alexa! That would be really great!
Technorati Ranking
Currently: ~11020 Goal: <5000 – I REALLY want to get into the top 5000 blogs on Technorati by the end of 2008! That is my goal and it’s going to be REALLY hard, but hopefully with some great articles, etc I can get enough backlinks to reach this goal.
Google PageRank
Currently: 4, Goal: 5 - I’m not going to be unrealistic here, there’s no way I’m getting higher than a 1 point raise in PageRank, if even that! I would have to get a siginificant number of backlinks to get to 6, so I think 5 would be amazing to reach.
Monthly Earnings
Currently: ~2000, Goal: ~3500 – If I can double my traffic by the end of the year, hopefully, I’ll also be able to double my income! I’m really hoping to reach $3500 a month as that will be a significant amount that I would be happy with.
Guest Posting
Currently: ~4/month, Goal: ~7/month – Guest posting is a great way to get traffic and backlinks and I would like to increase the number of blogs that I guest post on and the number of posts that I write on a monthly basis.
That’s it for now! If I can reach these goals by the end of 2008, I will be EXTREMELY happy! I’m glad I wrote this as it’ll be a good way to compare during the year. Enjoy!

This reminds me, i will write my post for the project tomorrow . You have done extremely well as a blogger in a short amount of time. All the best for the future.
Madhur,
Thanks a lot man! I hope it keeps getting better. Though it did really take a lot of hard work. I never realized how much time I would need to spend to get it to where it is today.
A successful blog is just as much about marketing and promoting as it is writing! Keep up the good work and you’ll be doing great soon also!
Aseem
Hi Aseem!
Just wanted to let you know, your contact form isnt working correctly. Its giving some error after submitting. You might want to look into that.
There is no other way to contact you,as far as I can see. If possible just drop me a mail at this email address so that I can correspond with you.
Cheers!
Vikram.
