Happy 1st Birthday - a year in the blogosphere.
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Today, the 22 October 2007, is the first birthday of my travel busines blog. So what’s the first year in the blogosphere been like for me?

I looked back at the my second post, “Novice Blogger” where I stated that the aim of the blog was to increase awareness of my travel business without a large marketing budget. I think I’ve achieved this as the number of visitors to the site has more than doubled as have my turnover without any increase in expenditure. However it’s impossible to say exactly how much of this is attributable to the blog as I’ve been writing and publicising more destination guides on the main site. I also installed Google Adsense a year ago which has increased my revenue.
The blog made it into the top 100,000 of the Technorati rankings in September 2007, not bad, considering here are millions of blogs out there. However it has slipped a bit since then.
I’ve spend an enormous amount of time and effort on growing the blog. It’s been on the whole interesting and enjoyable writing for the blog. I was inspired to start another blog, Business Blog Boost, in June 2007, to offer advice and tips on blogging to boost your business to other small business owners.
Well, onwards and upwards, I’ve to keep focused on writing quality content for the blog, so it can keep boosting my travel business. Please let me know which posts you’ve enjoyed most and what sort of topics you’d like me to write about more often. If you blog for your business what impact do you think that blog has had on your business?
