After ten months being online Topblogarea is finally growing steady, It stretches out to more than 200 000 unique visitors per month and is rapidly growing by the day.
We will start focusing on supplying web stats for our members soon; we are working on having online graphs in the members section.

The graphs will eventually tell how many visitors a blog has per week etc; this is something we want to continue working on since its obvious people are looking for that.
Topblogarea is growing content wise as well, we are close to having almost 200 000 articles in our database.
Our main focus on this solution is to publish a small amount of each article to supply our blog users with users coming from the search engines.
This has proven to be a great way to supply our blog user’s new readers which we are glad to have worked out.

We have now held the first position in Google for awhile and doubt that we will lose that position. The work now lies upon us to reach the stars and get a good ranking in Yahoo and Msn. And I believe I have found a weakness in Msn but I’m not sure yet. We have slowly getting a better position in Msn for Globalwarming Awareness2007 while using this technique but it could be anything effecting our ranks so I guess I will have to continue and see how it goes.

The current top 10 sites.Yes I know you might be interested in what I’m doing and what thoughts I might have about getting a better rank, but I won’t tell you at the moment. In fact I have learned a few things and some other ideas have been confirmed during this contest. So even if I don’t rank well at the end I will use this knowledge on my other sites to make them better and therefore I will win something in this contest independent on my rankings for Globalwarming Awareness2007.

But this doesn’t mean I’m satisfied with our result. In fact I’m disappointed that we can’t get a better rank in Yahoo. Even if a good rank in Msn together with our first place in Google could give us a first place at the end, I will not be satisfied if my rank is not good in Yahoo. It’s a feeling that I have lost the contest but still getting the first prize. At least our rank now is not that bad it was for a few weeks ago.

When the contest is over I will share my ideas and techniques with you… at least some of them.
