Wow! It’s hard to believe that another week has come and gone already. My original intention was to get a good post put up on the blog on a daily basis, but I found myself swamped with work and parenthood this past week. I really focused this past week on quality instead of quantity and I think it really paid off. Yesterday (3/30), I was able to reach a goal that I had set out for the blog by having 50 visitors in a day. I know that it doesn’t sound like much, but for a blog that’s only ten days old it’s a pretty decent accomplishment. I have now raised the bar for myself to reach 100 visitors in a day. I’m curious to see how long it will take to reach this new milestone.

Onto the review…

March 25: Guaranteed Traffic Coming Your Way? - Detailed post regarding the Weekly Buzz Contest at buzzmyblog dot com. The prize for the week was 500 Entrecard credits and an extra special prize. Unfortunately, I did not win this week but there is always next time. Thanks to Jeff at buzzmyblog.com for sponsoring such a cool contest and showing everyone that if you work together you can have great success in building interest in your site. Also…thanks for the linkback Jeff. :)

March 27: Entrecard is Killing My Blog! - The most popular topic of the week, was my realization that I had been spending far too much time concentrating on dropping Entrecards and not enough time developing my content. I received a lot of great feedback from my readers, as well as some great tips on other traffic generating sources. It also appears that I am not the only blogger that has been blinded by the addiction of Entrecard dropping. Thank you everyone for your comments.

March 29: What is Blogging Zoom? - My review of the social network alternative to Digg.com and Sphinn. Blogging Zoom is a great new community that encourages bloggers to promote their own content. So far I am very impressed with the community and the content I have found on Blogging Zoom. I’m sure there will be more about this site in the future.

March 30: Wordpress 2.5 is Here! - My review of the installation and upgrade process of the newest version of Wordpress. I found it extremely easy to perform the upgrade, and I’m really enjoying the new and improved dashboard.

That’s it for this weeks edition of the Week in Review. Thanks for reading.
