Over 2000, How am I doing? I Need your Opinions

As of yesterday my Unique Visitor counter has tipped over the 2000 mark!!

I am so happy that I now have some regular visitors and I value the feedback immensely.

Things that have happened with this blog recently are:

  • I have been able to Monetize through the use of Paid Post,
  • Google gave me PR4 (Probably temporary!),
  • I am playing around with the theme colours and maybe the design a little!
  • Advert placement is being looked at, Adsense is still giving me very low returns,
  • I had a $20 Adwords voucher so I am using it to promote this site;
My main goals are to improve my writing and keep my readers, get more visitors (this is hard!) and keep my site monetized enough so that I can still aim for it to be a job one day.

So basically I would like to know (partly inspired by Bush asking the same question), How am I doing? Part of me thinks I may have been posting too many sponsored posts or not writing enough weird random articles.

What can I do to be better? What do you particularly like or hate about coming here?

I am in the early stages or thinking up and starting some new sites and getting back to some things I started earlier.

One of my more immediate projects will be starting a review site, inspired by Darn Good Reviews and other bloggers efforts a separating their personal space from their business space a little bit.

I am also looking back into Helium (If you get a chance here is one of my articles, let me know what you think!) and Ciao to see if there is any future in such things. Does anybody make a decent amount from Helium, and if so how many articles do you have active?

And more of an experiment rather than a business plan I am thinking of creating a story blog. Basically I will probably write the first part of the story and then guests will be asked to write the next piece and so on until an entire story is written. People will also be encouraged to submit shorter stories of their own, if they wish. I am not too bothered if the idea is stolen from me :), I just want to know what people think before putting any effort in.

All comments even if extremely harsh will be appreciated greatly.

Thanks to you all, I understand I am asking for a lot of commenting and participation!
