Hey guys,
I was not so active for the pass week due to the fact my grandmother pass away and now it is time to get back to my normal life.
Many of you have blogs or website, I wonder how happy are you with your sites?
in terms of design, traffic and contents.
Rate in terms of 1 being very unhappy to 10 which is very happy.
My site fitnesswellnesshealth.com
Design - 8
Traffic - 4
content - 8
Perhaps there are other things you are happy or unhappy about, you could also discuss here.

My personal blog from Blogger
Desing 8 before to start to make scrapbook, and 10 now :).
Traffic 1, I prefer to be only for friend, because I do not want bad person to visit my life.
Content 5, was lazy year for me about bloging.
My working blog from IBS (in my profile)
Desing 5, they do not have same freedom like blogger.
Traffic 8, that is marketing tool who give guaranteed visitors for each post.
Content 7, I try to be interesting, but without made from me elements.

I am not able to see your personal blog so I am not able to comment from there, but I see your IBS blog. It is pretty interesting but I think you should use some brighter colors I think the effect would be better.
About the marketing tool that guaranteed visitors for each post, would you be able to share with me, I would love to check it out and find out how to get more visitors to my site.
I do not quite get what is without made from me elements?
Thanks for sharing.

In my case, at the beginning when I started blogging, I
was very active and the traffic was quite good too.
In 2011, I was busy with other things and hardly
blog. My traffic drop drastically.
I think my blog design rating : 6
Traffic : 4
Contents : 6
I will include "improve my blog traffic" as one of
my 2012 - List To Do

Actually, the last Web site I built is just kind of sitting there right now. I need to update it and write some more articles for backlinks but I will not really make any money from that site because the content is free so I don't put a lot into it any more.
I am going to build a new Web site and this one will be for serious income. Then I will get serious with it.
I am satisfied with my other site. It is doing what I intended it to do. I rate it at 5 on the happiness scale. I just built a free site so I could see where I would need to concentrate my effort most when I built my real Web site.
When you start paying out of the pocket for a good domain name (And this makes a difference) and paying for monthly hosting instead of some free site then you need to have some success going on.

In many sense you are right, if you are paying for domain and host, you are more likely to have the drive to make it success. While if you are using a free host, there is always tomorrow to make it happen, somehow tomorrow never comes.
Sometime pride is something that make you happy with your site, because it was something you build from scratch, it is just like your baby.
We shall see how it goes right.

hi there iwrite,
with reference to your main topic discussion, honestly, i am happy with the blogs that i am maintaining. as these blogs are somehow our way and tool to promote to the public our very own products. since we display our products and services thru this way. and this is also the reason why i am really working hard to do more articles even it is short. as i really want our blog be known to many.

Perhaps you like to share how your site is doing in terms of design and traffic, I would love to have a look at your site. getting our site known, perhaps I can help a little, I form a team and if you promote to a team you might have about 20 more member in your site.

Yes I think she would be at peace, her have 3 simple wishes, that she would go before her sons, would pass away at home and the family keep together. The first two is fulfilled and we are trying hard to keep the third.
I am not sure what I would be able to help but if you need do let me know and I see what I can do. Cheers.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmom, I can imagine how hard that was. *hugs*
And to answer your question, I don't think I'm happy with my blog. I imagine if I was happy with it, it wouldn't be so hard for me to update. That's why I want to relaunch it on it's own domain and with a professional design. It's going to take some time, bbecause I need to save up money for the theme and hosting, but I think it's going to be worth it.

Sorry to hear about your grandma. About the topic, well I am quite satisfied if you were to ask me, but I still want to improve my SEO and traffic. I have PR2 on three of my blogs and PR1 on a new mommy blog.
I do like how I get money monthly on my blogs and hope to do more if I can have more time since I am now a busy mommy attending my baby's need so my hands are somewhat tied when my baby is awake. I can only do work whenever my baby is sleeping.
Design, well I can enjoy more if I can buy my own domain, traffic is still improving, content, well satisfied as I can update it as I want to.

Ok I have only seen one of your blog, foodfashionandfun.blogspot.com. I thought the design was delightful and I think you can become a good designer.
I think we can both learn how to get more money from our site, I am going to do a few test to see if I would be able to achieve some success. if you have any success do let me know.
you should get your own domain.

I am very happy with my blog but I hereby regret to state that it has very few visitors. I have tried a lot but as I am not sure how to increase traffic, all my efforts were without any positive result. Can you suggest something for the purpose?

Creating a blog is not a big issue to make people I guess it is getting the traffic, I have some minor success but I think it would take a lot more work for me to get a lot more traffic to my site. I hope my effort would be worth it. Do you want to discuss what I did for my site?
How much traffic do you have per month?

Sorry to hear that you lost your grandmother. May God bless your family and her soul. As far as answering the question, I am ok with my blog as of now. My traffic is slowly picking up. I'm happy with the content on there because it's all me. I'm still working on trying to find a design that I feel good about. Overall I'm fairly happy with my blog though.

thanks, I guess my grandmother is in a place without suffering and that would be a better place.
As for your site, I am sure you should be able to get more traffic to your site soon I guess. I wonder what do you do to get traffic to your site? Perhaps you are able to guide me along.

I am sorry Iwrite for what happened to your grandmother. Everything will be alright my friend. Thanks for visiting my blog last night,I am not yet satisfied with my blog though it is already in PR1, of course I want to reach PR2 at least. As of content I am confident that it has quality because all of it are my products, when it comes to traffic I can see hope because some of my content are getting rank in search engines. My friend don't worry because,I can see some potentials in your blog site especially in terms of appearance it looks professional and that is a plus. Stay happy and update your blog to see good results.

My condolences even though i'm 4 weeks too late. I've been busy for my ICT as well and it just ended before christmas, therefore i can't be mylotting for the last 3 weeks. I dun know what happened to my blog because it's been almost a year since i last update it.. haha :D IF i were to give a rating, my content should be at least 9 because it's informative yet challengable. In terms of traffic and Design, an average of 6.. haha

Condolence about your grandmother.
About my website/blog, I am not really satisfied about my two blogs. In terms of traffic and content. Design, its okay for me. But the traffic I am getting is quite low. And the content is not that many also. Its okay for now because I just sarted my blog 2 months ago.

On my part, I can say that i am happy fair enough knowing that we made our Blog site now to benefit us but it is a site that we're making to save the work we have in our Ministry concerning feeding the children and Bible studies. With the help of free Blog sites, we are able to do so and share the work we were doing to the world. :-)
