The best of July, and some site news
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed to receive the latest updates. Thanks for visiting!
The past month, I managed to increase my organic search traffic a bit, and I’m happy that many people took time to comment on this blog.
I’ve also managed to bring up the feed count up by over 90 or so I guess, and I’m still working on getting more readers via RSS and email.
I’m also glad that overall traffic is increasing, with 10,000 uniques and over 18,000 pageviews last month alone. To some of you, this may be just silly 
but for me this is a good figure, yet I’m still not content with it. Will try to bring that up as well.
Alexa rank at the time of writing stands at around 70,000.
Here’s the month’s traffic stats:
Podcasts available
Following Benedict’s post, I’ve decided to enable podcasts here. You can access the podcasts from this page. Wanted to give readers an extra way to follow my articles.

Good job for the month of July.

Congrats on another successful month.
Great work bud.! Nice to see you’re getting good RSS subscribers. I’m already your podcast fan
thanks for the mention 
Shankar buddy your blog is going great
and the stats are improving
Basically the stats don’t matter much until you have quality posts and in that case you are the king
so keep rolling and rocking
Wow! The figures are really reflecting the quality of your content! Well done man and keep aiming high!
Thanks to everyone
Your words keep me running 
Hello Shankar,
How’s life dear?
The traffic figure is simply too good.
I only manage to get 200 or so visitors a day.
And now i’m falling short of time for few days.
Wishing you more Success.
Take Care!!!
Great job, Shankar! All the best for the future…
Great work buddy , all the best for future .
Congrats Shankar
Keep it up !
Hello Shakar,
July looks great to me 10,000 uniques and over 18,000 pageviews last month alone.
In my opinion it is time to start monitizing the blog and make some online money
Good Luck
I like the idea of Monthly Round up, I think I saw this feature on some recent blog also.
Vijay
Wow, great stats! I’m jealous of you! ;p
Congratulation to your achievement and hope every is going up this August!
Congrats! Shankar, you did great !
I hope next every months and years, you’ll get more and more than that.
Thanks to everyone!
@Kuanhoong: I’ll try my best to more posts this month too.
@Sunil: for a new blog isn’t bad. As you write more useful stuff, you’ll get more visits. I know you’re posts have really been good. No wonder if your traffic shoots up very soon
@Vijay: I’ve already monetised it, and I’m working hard to earn more
Shankar,
Nice to see your stats.
BUt I have a question, Alexa rank of 73K is very good. I guess based on that you should get more traffic than that…Is your google analytics registering all your hits…At 73k you should get around 1500+ hits a day…
Congrats! Shankar, you did great job. I spend one year for receving 10,000 visitors per month to my article directory http://www.kokkada.com
Hello to all, this is ashwini khare owner of http://webtalks.blogspot.com
Awesome stats!
17,000 impressions? you are now eligible for monetizing via Chitika.{only few can do so}
you don’t have a PR yet?
sounds strange
@Trakin: I’m not sure, Google Analytics has been causing some troubles to me. Thanks for the kinda alert
@Kokkada: Thanks, wish you get more visits
@Ashwini: Welcome to this blog, Ashwini. Yeh, I do have a Chitika account registered but I never really used it. May be in the coming days, I’ll. Right, this blog is only around 3 months old.. that’s why no PR. Probably the PR bar will turn green this time when the PageRank update happens.
