January 2012 Update

Welcome to all my readers both new and returning.  If you have not already done so why not sign up to my RSS feed for notification of when I post new posts here.

As this is my first post for 2012 I thought I would give you an update on my progress to date.

My Mailinmg list now has 100 names on it but as a few of those have not yet confirmed their email address and others are weird names I would say it is truer to say it is about 90 rather than 100.

For an upto date list of giveaways visit my JV Giveaways Page by clicking the page link above the posts.  I update it on a regular basis with new giveaways and remove the ones that have fininhed.

JV Giveaway events are still building the list for me slowly and surely.  The standard emails promoting giveaways say you will get 5,000 – 10,000 sign ups within a few days but I have always taken that with a pinch of salt.

The Giveaway host will get the most sign ups but even then in most giveaways between contributors and members but I doubt that he/she will reach the 10,000 mark.  There are always exceptions and the Self Improvement Gifts 6 JV Giveaway has already got nearly 1,500 contributors signed up.  It opens shortly for members and last year had 25,000+ signups and is expected to have even more this year.

My Alexa rank for the blog has slippped and now stands at 597,638 with 93 incoming links.  If I do not post very regularly the rank slips and my site visitors drop.

Google Analytics shows that I have had 168 visitors in the last month with the majority of these coming from the UK and the USA as the following table shows.   This table shows visitors from the top 10 Countries in the last 30 days.

1. UK                                            81
2. USA                                          30
3. Pakistan                                   7
4. Indonesia                                5
5. Phillipines                               5
6. Australia                                  4
7. China                                        4
8. Brazil                                        3
9. Canada                                     2
10. Chech Republic                      2

The Internet Business CodeX program is still progressing.  This training and coaching program is open to new members at present and you will find loads more information and can sign up here.

This is the best coaching program I have ever been in and the members only forum is very helpful and by posting a question there you get the answer posted so that everyone can read it.  The current stats for the forum are  9077 Posts in 517 Topics by 56 Members.

The 2 G’s have now released their second WSO and you can check it out here this is designed to show you how to use PLR products properly so that you are not just sending out the same old rubbish as everyone else.  Gary Simpson in particular is very much against sending out PLR without modifying it in any way and I have to agree with him.

Your comments are always welcome and if you have anything you would like to add please do so below.  I look forward to reading what you have to say.
