In case you missed them... My top 5 posts for January 2010

If you follow my blog on a regular basis, you know that I like to finish off every month with a review of what I accomplished, what opportunities I missed, and what mistakes I made.  Yesterday, I wrote that post, and one of the things that came out of it was how I was able to keep up my goal of creating one new blog post every day of January.  It was fun to look back and see all the posts I did, and using Google Analytics, I was able to see which posts drew the most traffic.  So I wanted to end January by highlighting my Top 5 posts of the month.

January was my second highest traffic month of all-time.  Most of this can be credited to strong search engine result traffic which is most likely due to my high frequency of blogging.  Where Twitter and LinkedIn use to be my highest referrers, now it is Google search engine results that drive my site traffic.  Kind of exciting for sure.  And that is really the bottom line of it all.  I am not an expert in regards to anything I blog about on this site.  I blog because I enjoy capturing information, putting my twist on it, and sharing it with others.  I am just grateful that so many of you have been following along!

So here goes... my Top 5 posts from January 2010:

1. Goal-setting - Part 2: Yearly Goal Planning Worksheet (NOTE: This post was actually published back in August 2009, but because I re-released a new version of the worksheet, this post got a lot of traction.  Very interesting!)

2. Join Life Time Fitness at a special discounted membership rate! (NOTE: Again, another post that was published in 2009, but because the special got extended, it drove additional traffic.  To date, this is the highest trafficked blog post by search engine results.)

3. Happy New Year! Here is a Goal Planning Worksheet for 2010 (NOTE: This post led to over 500 people downloading my free worksheet template.  It still gets downloaded 3-5 times a week.)

4. Required skill for Community Managers: Know how to say "sorry" (NOTE: What is it with posts from 2009 getting all my traffic?  I will take it as a compliment of good, lasting content!)

5. Online community metrics you need to pay attention too
