It has been one month since I started onlinemarketingdiary.net which is all about keeping a public, detailed diary of how I promote and popularize this blog.

There was a lot of learning, tweaking, and reading happening over the past month. As well, I took a week off to go to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico with my wife to shake off the winter chills. This stopped my marketing and blogging momentum for quite a few days.

The following picture shows what I plan on tracking each month to measure the progress of this site.

Not much to see, but the baseline is set. Next month will be interesting.

It’s funny how search engines work. A few days ago this blog was listed in MSN’s Live, today it’s gone.  It’ll come back. Google has made me #1 for the search term “online marketing diary” which is nice. Not many people enter this as a search term however.

Thoughts and Monthly Wrapup

Overall I am happy with the search engine results for just one month. It was a nice surprise to see Google and Yahoo index my site so quickly. I guess they really do love blogs.

I would have like more traffic however…seems a little low for all the effort that was put in. That’s just part of my learning curve I suppose.

I am eager to continue so please join me as I walk down this path to a land unknown.
