As part of
Blog Traffic School I encourage all the students to make use of these forums as much as they can.
One of the key activities in the course is to maintain a "blogging diary" which is a forum entry here where you detail how your blog growth is going, what techniques you are implementing to grow your blog traffic and reporting back to the community the results of testing these techniques.
I encourage every student of the course and even those bloggers not in the course to keep a traffic diary because it can really help your blog's growth by attracting input from the community. I also encourage you to comment on other blogger's diaries to help them grow their traffic and exchange feedback and ideas.
You can see my example diary here -

How To Start A Diary
It's easy - just start a new forum post in this forum and start by entering the following details:
1. Blog Name:
2. Blog URL:
3. Blog Description:
4. Blog Benefits: (what your blog offers to people - what benefits they would get from reading your blog - part of the USP section in Blog Traffic School Course).
5. Current traffic: (uniques per month, pageviews per month)
6. Traffic goals: (desired uniques per month, pageviews per month)
7. Personal goals from blogging: (what you want to achieve as a result of your blog)
You could also include:
- Your name
- Your location
- Your age, sex, occupation, etc
- Anything else about you or your blog.
This information forms the basis of your first post to introduce your blog. Later, once you begin testing traffic techniques or at any point where something happens to boost your blog traffic you come back to your intro post and write a
Field Report.
How To Record A Blog Traffic Field Report
A field report explains what technique you implemented at your blog to grow your blog traffic and explains the results - what happened.
You should include these details:
Field Report Title:
Blog Name:
Blog URL:
Name:
Explanation:
Results:
Again, if this confuses you, take a look at my intro post and field report diary here -

Note that my blog is well advanced so the techniques I am testing might not be appropriate for your blog - it depends how old and developed your blog is.
That doesn't mean you can't start doing field reports immediately - just write about whatever traffic techniques and results you are achieving now. Moving from 10 visitors a day to 50 visitors a day is still an achievement worth reporting so we can all learn how you did it.
Good luck and I look forward to reading your field reports!
