As you can see I’ve started blogging only several days ago but those several days were enough for me to realize that blogging isn’t easy thing and it takes time and efforts to attract readers. Perhaps everybody knows this but why not try to calculate how much time we spend for generating each visit? To measure is to control. To control is to succeed.
The formula is very simple:
Efficiency = Number of your hours you’ve invested to your blog / Number of Visits to Your Blog
If you’re going to vote on “What’s Your Blogging Efficiency?” poll please follow the simple rules below to make results more unified and ensure we all have the same foundation to evaluate
them.
- Choose any time period you like. This poll is only for fun and to turn your attention to the fact that we can measure and track efficiency of our activities. I don’t see the way restricting time period will add value to the poll results.
- Try to remember how much time you’ve spent on your blog, including technical activities, posting and promoting. I know that number of hours cannot be very precise. It can even be very inaccurate! But what’s precise enough for you precise enough for us as well.
- Count visits to your blog’s website (not visitors, new subscribers, hits or anything else).
When you’re done with calculation you can see where you are standing among other bloggers and vote! The poll will not last forever. I plan to close it when traffic to this post falls to 1/3 of the peak. So you can subscribe and get notified about the final results.
A couple of tips on evaluating your efficiency:- If you spend much time for getting each visit then you should love each your reader! What if even they will stop visiting?!
- If you spend one second to attract one visit then you’re quite close to be a Lord of Blogging! You’ve learnt to love your readers ages ago, haven’t you?
