Month in Review: May 2008 (From Site Launch)
So its been a busy first month here at Mr. Pappagiorgio.com, and so far I’ve seen gradually improving traffic, and a couple of nice spikes in traffic. The goal this first month has been to get some good content up, and really stock the site with interesting posts for when the site design gets implemented. Once that happens, I’ll go a little harder on advertising and trying to drive more traffic. Continued growth and readers is very important to me, and the future of the blog. Obviously that’s the goal with any blog, and its the best way to interact with and have some decent discussions on interesting topics. I want to thank everyone who has been stopping by on a regular basis, and I hope you will continue to in the future. Also if you haven’t done so already, I would definitely appreciate if you subscribed to my blog here. You can also subscribe by email on the top right hand side of the page here.
Aside from the blog itself, its been a weird month for Mr. Pappagiorgio personally. It was a month that I saw my relationship more than likely falling apart, saw me quit smoking, decide I wasn’t ready to quit smoking, also a month where I got sick, took medicine which created an allergic reaction causing hives covering my entire upper body, where I started a new diet and lost 40 pounds, and the list just goes on and on and on. But enough of all that. Lets get to our first month’s stats.

So whats coming up in June?
I’m entering June with high hopes and lots of goals to attain. In June I’m expecting to go live with a brand new theme created by my friend GrandmasterB, and with his body of work, its sure to be above and beyond all expectations. Once the new theme launches, be on the lookout for a 500 Point Entrecard giveaway shortly after, which is all part of trying to gain new readers and generate more traffic. Other than those two announcements, look forward to all kinds of entertaining posts on a wide variety of subjects.
Ahhhh yes. I remember my first months. I would stare longingly at the monitor with a gleam in my eye. I was so dreaming of the traffic flood that would eventually come. It did. Then I didn’t know what to do with it.
Keep putting up interesting posts and keep regular. Speaking of regular, I am not feeling real regular today.
BigPappas last blog post..Lower Energy Costs
lol, sorry to hear you’re not feeling so regular :p
So what did you eventually do with the flood of traffic? Advise for someone new to the blogging world?
