Happy New Year!

I know it’s a bit late, but better late then never.

I know new year was like 6 days ago, but thought I’d just make a post to wish everyone a happy new year.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and of course a fantastic new year.  I for sure enjoyed the new year and saw lots and lots of fireworks cracking in the sky. Did you do any crazy things on new year? Or was it just a boring day?

Anyway here we are in 2010.

Looking back at 2009 I had great times and especially loved to see that I have progressed with this blog.

I mostly like to look back on last year to and take a little moment to reflect back on 2009 and see if 2009 was considered a success or failure. If you didn’t accomplish your goals now is the time to set your new years resolution and work towards it.

A look back at 2009

I personally think 2009 was not too bad, as we all know this blog was launched on the 1st of September, so it makes this blog a a bit older then 4 months old. In these 4 months I’ve tried to set some goals and work towards these goals, although I did suffer a few setbacks, I’d like to think positivly and think about the things I’ve accomplished.

Build Relationships- One of my main goals was to go out in the blogging world and try to get to know as many people as possible and although at first things didn’t go my way I tried harder and tryed to build relationships and network with other bloggers and people. I’ve came to know about lots of different kind of bloggers and people. We all know that it takes time to build contacts if you’ve just launched a new blog, but untill you start getting more popular over time, you will need to put effort to try networking and contacting other blog owners and people. A good and effective way to do this is by leaving comments and doing link exchanges with other related blogs. Participating on forums is also a good way.

Knowlegde is Power- I’ve been reading and researching a lot of things and have been able to expand my knowlegde about certain topics. By reading other blogs, not only do I read because I enjoy, but I also read to expand my knowlegde, it’s like doing your homework, but instead of hating it you enjoy it. By reading other blogs, It has become much more easier to write about some topics. There’s also some topics I can write about without researching anymore which makes life much more easier.

Build Backlinks- I think building backlinks are a very importent aspect of developing  a blog as the more backlinks you have the more higher you will rank and the more traffic you will get. Over the past 4 months I think I’ve done a decent job on building back links and have been spending most of the time building backlinks for about 1 or 2 hours a day. I now just need to continue building back links and then I think it’s just a matter of time before your blog will climb up in the search engines, Alexa rank wil rise and of course your blog will get a high pagerank.

These where the main goals for me and as you can see money is not really a goal I focused on. What I actually did was set some personal targets that were realistic and achievable, because I don’t see the point of setting really high targets that are  unreachable. I like to take baby steps and work myself to a higher level.

Another point I focused on was traffic, but I decided to skip this part as getting traffic is every bloggers goal.

Get ready for 2010 and start setting your goals.

So then how did your blog do in 2009? Any milestones? What are your goals for 2010?
