If you are a serious blogger then you must have dreamt about following when you started your blog.
Just notice that everything is linked. If you have even one of your dreams fulfilled you are on right way to get other gets fulfilled too soon.
1. Thousands of unique visitors with millions of pageviews per month.
Who would mind that unless you have so much high traffic that your server crashes.
2. Article to occur on the front page of Digg
Digg is like a benchmark for bloggers. If even one of your articles has appeared on famous Digg’s front page then nothing can stop your blog to get popular if you write quality content.
3. Six Figure USD income from ads revenue.
This may take you years, but is sufficient enough for you to leave your full time job and become pro blogger.
4. Huge Feed Subscriber count.
Gone are the days when your revenue was treated as a status of your blog. With Feedburner showing you the subscriber count chicklet, it is the first thing noticed by the readers to judge the popularity of your blog.
5. High PageRank
With so many inbound links that have been generated over years it’s likely that your pagerank keeps on increasing. This means you have surely written something good that readers would like to refer the link.
6.Top rank on Alexa and Technorati.
Alexa and Technorati shows you rank where your blog stands. It is not surprising that when you start a blog you may have your rank in millions. Ultimate dream is to get lower and lower rank.
If you are below 100K mark then You’ve done a great job!!
7. Drive traffic from search engines
Apart form Digg and other social bookmarking sites, search engines are the major source of traffic to your blog. If you write content that is very popular hit among the searches then you’ll notice the inflow. How-to articles are famous for driving search engine traffic.
8. Recognition on World Wide Web.
You may not be so good looking or have glamorous style but your name is enough on World Wide Web. Don’t you know some famous bloggers who you have never seen ?
9. Great Response from readers
I still remember that once I wanted to post a comment on one of the very popular blog but the commenting system for that article was closed just after few hours due to lightning response from the readers.
10. Trackbacks
Point no. 9 is proportional to the Trackbacks that you receive for a particular article that you write. Maximum the no. of trackbacks , higher will be your pagerank too.
Writing quality content is the key to a successful blog. With little bit of smartness you can almost double the popularity of your blog and hence come more closer to the fulfillment goals of your dreams.
