I wouldn’t attribute ALL of my academic success to smarts alone.  What I consider myself good at was learning what each instructor WANTED to be done for an ‘A’ and I would do just that.  Every test and piece of homework was meticulously planned to regurgitate the information that I felt the instructor wanted to hear.

So when it comes to your blog and all the conflicting information from experts how do you know what to grade your blog on? Here’s a few fundamental elements to consider:

  • Is your blog generating awareness or your topic of interest?
  • Are you getting repeat visitors?
  • How is your search engine visibility? (what keywords or keyword combination do you show up on the first page of Google for?)
  • How many inbound links do you have?
  • How many comments do you have on your blog posts?

In the next post we’ll go through questions you can ask yourself to increase your success in each of the above fundamental elements.
