Quote

"My blogging has been an evolution rather than a strategic move. I wish I’d known what I know now and done a little more planning on some of my early blogs – but I won’t complain because I’m doing pretty well out of it all. When I first started “success” was more about traffic levels than anything else. Now I’m not so concerned about traffic levels (although I track them and see a relationship between them and final earnings). Now I also track a number of other factors including earnings of each blog (obviously), inbound links, page ranking, numbers of comments, SERPs and even feedback emails that I get. Somewhere in the midst of all these things lies success for me." Darren Rowse
