Successful Launch of a Blog

by Karen Goodman on May 27, 2008

I’m not one to toot my own horn, but please indulge me on this one post.

I am tickled to tell you that after only 7 months since launching this blog (and figuring out what a blog actually is) I have been interviewed about my blogging experience. Jim Durban is a social media headhunter and writes several successful blogs. You can find my interview at brandstorming.com. I am very honored that Jim thought enough of my early efforts to invite me to share my thoughts on two of his blogs.

My blogging efforts have helped to propel my website to #1 spot on Yahoo’s search for many search terms along the lines of ‘st louis homes for sale’. I’ve had 2031 unique visitors stop by my website or blog, resulting in 3160 sessions. That may not seem like a lot to seasoned bloggers, but it is amazing to me that so many people seem interested in my thoughts on the St. Louis real estate market and my monthly market reports.

I even have 6 7 people who have subscribed to my new posts through email or RSS according Feedburner. Who wants to sign up and make it 7 8! (Thank you to whoever signed up after seeing this post!)

Tomorrow I’ll be back with more information expanding on my last post that analyses how the market has changed over the last 5 years.
