The Importance of Setting Blogging Goals
February 26, 2007
How many bloggers set goals when they start they blogging experience? The answer is simple, not too many. Do you remember that post I wrote about some of the most common mistakes of new bloggers? Well, that day I wrote that it was very important to realize that a blog is like any other business, therefore you have to set some goals in order to be successful with your site. Glen Wolsey has a great post about htis, it is called “Set blogging goals and stick with them” here is a fragment of his article.
” Over the past year I’ve seen many start blogs, and give up after a couple of months, if not weeks, because of the lack of daily visitors and traffic streaming through the tubes […] Goals are important. Without goals you are just going with the flow, with goals, you have something to work towards, something lying up ahead in the future to aim at.”
He is absolutely right, I agree with him, your blogging goals are going to give you a direction, they are going to become the compass of your blog, here are the goals Glenn suggests:
Posts Made
RSS Readers
Daily Page Views
Technorati Rank
Blog Comments
New relationships made
I would add : “Contribute with others blogs” because I think that´s what this medium is all about. What do you think?.

Got something to say?
Thanks for dropping by my blog. Those are excellent ideas.
Nice little baby you have here, George,
Absolutely, goals are vital, but it’s also necessary add a little realism into the mix and not give up because success doesn’t happen overnight.
Your addition to “contribute with others blogs” is a wonderful reminder that this is a live community. Bigger and better for all thrives on bigger and better for each.

Thanks Carolyn, hope to see you around!
If I didnt have a goal there would be no point putting so much effort into the blog. Lots of good points throughout the postings on this page.
