1. After days of waiting, Marcus of Hochstadt.com finally announced the winners for the Hochstadt Party Contest. Surprisingly I won myself a couple of prizes sponsored by SiteHoppin.com, OneBuckWiki.com and SendOutCards.com. A total of $7,000 worth of cash and prizes were given out by Marcus. Honestly, I believe everyone who entered the contest actually won something. Great job Marcus! Find out what I've won and get the results of the contest here.

Bloggerfocus Traffic Update

Two weeks ago, I specifically mentioned that my next goal for Bloggerfocus Dot Com is to achieve 100 Unique visitors daily by mid May. Have I reached my goal or have I not? Well this how the traffic stats for Bloggerfocus Dot Com between 1st of May 2008 - 11th of May 2008 look like:

Should I leap up in joy now and celebrate like there's no tomorrow? Nah, there's nothing to boast about considering the fact that 100-150 uniques per day is miniscule compared to other well known blogs. As of writing this post I've already set my next goal, to hit 200 uniques by end of this month (May 08). I'm just hoping that the outcome is not the opposite. Please don't let my traffic drop below 100 uniques instead.

All this talk about blog traffic and I've yet to mention where all the traffic is coming from!
Without further a due, listed right below are the top traffic bringers for Bloggerfocus Dot Com:

1.
SiteHoppin.com (Without a doubt, the top traffic bringer for Bloggerfocus Dot Com. Utilizing the BeerStocks I've obtained, I'm currently enjoying a share of the total traffic from SiteHoppin.com. (You might want to read more about how Beer Stocks work HERE) Coupled with the launch of the SiteHoppin Firefox toolbar 10 days ago, I've been receiving consistent daily traffic from SiteHoppin.com)

2.
PowerDropping.com (Thanks Walt for including Bloggerfocus Dot Com into the list for power droppers. Apart from the reliable traffic coming from Entrecard users performing their daily drops, I'm also earning a fairly good amount of Entrecards!)

3.
Google Searches (A couple of my articles are appearing on the first page of certain search terms. As we all know, higher search ranking equals to more traffic for your blog)

4. PetalingStreet.org (A Malaysian blog-tal that allows you to submit newly written articles)

5.
ping.sg (Equivalent to PetalingStreet.org, except that it was created for Singaporean bloggers)
