Attraction and Relationship Marketing Classroom is One Month Old and Growing!

Today marks the one month anniversary for this new blog; Attraction and Relationship Marketing Classroom, a training resource center for any attraction marketer.

Wooohooo ….. Release the party balloons!

Launching this blog became a necessity after my old blog (formerly hosted at WordPress.com) ran into a few issues (see the post on free versus self-hosted blogs) and was suspended.

As I initiated posting content to this blog (much of it transferred from my former WordPress.com version), I faced with a few issues:

1. The physical set-up of a self-hosted WordPress blog;
2. Getting all the former content updated and re-posted;
3. Replacing the links from the old blog with this one; and
4. Re-building the blog followers and traffic in general.

Fortunately, the first two issues were readily addressed since I had already started to establish this blog site as I was working through the Become a Blogger site and had backed up most of the content from the previous blog.  Replacing or killing many of the former links has also occurred but others are either pending or near impossible to address (especially links on content and articles comments).

Issue number four was my main concern at the time the former blog met its doom.

Why you ask?

Simply because I had put a significant effort and trying to build the traffic from zilch to a few tens of visitors per day after three months work.

Most of the traffic was directed to the old blog via social networking as well as a handful of RSS subscribers with only a handful per week arriving from organic search engine listings. Therefore I was unsure what would happen to the traffic once the new blog (this one) was up and running.

I am happy to report, however, this time traffic to the Attraction and Relationship Marketing Classroom has grown much more rapidly.

As a matter of fact, traffic to this blog about equaled the last week’s traffic daily average for the old blog and has more than doubled by the 30 day anniversary!  The traffic is also coming from a variety of sources including direct traffic (35%); Referral Sites (50%) and Search Engines (15%).

Although it still isn’t huge, it’s growing day by day … definitely a great feeling …

So thank you to all my visitors, both new and old ….

The effort you make to visit the Attraction and Relationship Marketing Classroom and check things out is more than gratifying ….

I appreciate all of you!
