My two primary blogs JustinGermino.com and DragonBlogger.com continue to grow traffic wise and become larger each month. Dragonblogger.com itself has exceeded 12,000 unique visits per month according to Google analytics and averages over 300 unique visits per day. The odd thing is I never dropped Entrecards on December 31st – January 2nd and my traffic was still consistant, even when dropping 300 EC’s per day again, I only noticed a small bump in traffic, and I am going to slowly reduce my EC dropping over the next few months since I am only getting 20-30 unique hits per day for dropping 300 EC’s.

Dragonblogger is up 10% over last month, and my person blog is up 4% over last month. My personal blog getting just over 6,500 unique visits and averaging about 150 unique visits per day. My music production company blog took a huge drop, I have stopped dropping EC cards, and don’t promote that blog that heavily. The odd thing is my PR2 blog and poetry blog Wanderer Thoughts which has PR2 gets good traffic from twitter, and is promoted almost exclusively on twitter and only gets about 1500 unique visits per month.
My technology and entertainment blog DragonBlogger is what I am focused on building into an online presence and giant, so this blog is doing very well (minus the fact that it has a PR0). This is the one with now over 30,000 backlinks on Link Popularity Check, and consistantly has a good influx of visits per day.

My traffic is about 33% from Google Searches (organic), 33% entrecard and 33% direct (which I can only assume are bookmarks, or people coming directly by typing it in the browser URL not a prevoius source). Since I get over 100 people hitting my blog a day by google searches, this is actually pretty good and shows that I am building a Google web presence. Seeing that my top posts are mixed entertainment (Heroes) and Technology (Ubuntu Linux posts are most popular) I know to keep focusing and keywording my posts properly for these topics.
All in all, I have been blogging for just under 5 months now (January 23rd this blog will be 5 months old) and my traffic is still really good. I average a 295 RealRank, which is in the top 300 on an average basis. I am now using Socialmarker.com to help promote my important posts about freeware, technology, movie reviews, and it seems to be helping with extra links, but not much extra traffic sources (I still see no Digg, Technorati, Twitter, Stumble…etc) as a huge contributor, although StumbleUpon does provide some decent traffic in spurts. I had 1 day where I had 700 unique visits, and I isolated it to a surge in StumbleUpon traffic that day, not sure why just that day was a big influx, it reoccurs once every few weeks or so like that.
In the upcoming months I am going to focus on building up my blogger relations again, posting comments and guest posting with other bloggers. I also want to do some video tutorials on some software and help expand my media coverage. I have to download some software to accomplish this and am researching it.
Thanks for being a reader, and stay connected with me on twitter @dragonblogger, I will keep you updated and respond to each and every person who contacts me. This site will continue to be a source to help other bloggers learn how I am building my success so they can emulate my methods and see if it will work for them.
