Building A Successful Blog

Entracard StatsIt has officially been a little over a month since I moved from Blogger to my own domain, LifeofJustin.com. A lot of changes have taken effect and my blog is finally starting to take off and get consistent traffic.

I noticed that a few days ago my Alexa ranking was 2.7 million and yesterday it went up to around 1 million. Not a bad jump in such a short time. My one week average on Alexa this past week was 163,000 so that is something to keep me motivated. My …
