<p>This is a quick note, mainly for myself, about what is happening with my blog today. I started this blog in March of 2008. The inspiration came from <a href="http://WWW.davidrisley.com">my husband</a>, who is a successful internet blogger. I thought it would be a fun thing to do, and I didn&#8217;t have any particular goal in mind. My blog is kind of a hodge-podge of everything. It&#8217;s a personal blog, so I pretty much write about whatever comes to my mind.</p>
<p>This is my 89th post. So far I have total of 179 comments and my Google page rank is<span id="more-924"></span> 3/10. Based on Google Analytics stats, my blog currently averages a little over 90 visitors per day (less on the weekends), with an average of 1.4 pages visited per visitor. Time spend on my site is pothetic, about 1 minute per visitor. About 81% of my traffic comes from search engines, 12% from referring sites and 8% of it is direct.</p>
<p>My most popular post is <a href="http://www.malikarisley.com/2009/08/23/intelligender-gender-prediction-test-review/">Intelligender Gender Prediction Test Review</a>, which averages about 8 times more traffic than my second popular post. My other most popular posts are the beauty product reviews, mainly from the Seacret Spa line. Surprisingly my post about <a href="http://www.malikarisley.com/2009/02/15/homemade-sushi-is-it-worth-the-hassle/">Homemade Sushi</a> is popular as well.</p>
<p>My personal posts usually stop getting any hits after couple of days from the time of posting. I am not surprised, most people search for something that could be useful for them, like the reviews or how-to&#8217;s.</p>
<p>So my stats are telling me that I have no returning audience. It doesn&#8217;t surprise me either, since I don&#8217;t network much on other blogs, forums or Twitter. It&#8217;s just not that important for me at this time.</p>
<p>I am giving a thought of checking out the membership program that my hubby put together, called <a href="http://www.blogmastersclub.com/">Blog Masters Club</a>, which he is launching on Tuesday, 1/26/10. Since I&#8217;m his wife, I get to join for free, and I believe I could learn a thing or two about blogging from him <img src='http://www.malikarisley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> !</p>
