2. Forty total RSS subscribers (current total: 20)

Reach 1,000,000 pageviews monthly. I know, you’re probably thinking that I’m absolutely out of my mind here. Well, I am aiming high, that is true. I do believe that it is a reachable number, if we work together toward it! We? That’s right. While I will do my best to deliver valuable content, I will need you to help me spread the news and help me by sharing this to your friends, family and contacts that you have on social networks!9. Ibrahim Cesar:
Acho que é uma média atingível. Minha rotina vai mudar um bocado e vou ter menos tempo ainda para postar mas acredito que possa atingí-lo. Tenho algumas idéias para postagens, série de postagens, etc. O que têm me faltado ultimamente é motivação.10. TechZoomin:

作为一个职业博客的追求者，写博客却没有经济收入那是活受罪。但是我对精品博客的盈利相当的失望，虽然我爱水煮鱼曾创造了一个月收入1000美金的历史，但是精博的 Google AdSense 收入还是不足10美元，并且没有其他收入来源。所以，2009年精博将会继续探索博客的盈利之道，争取平均每天 Google AdSense 能有1美元的收入，但是精品博客的 RSS Feed 里面不会投放 Google AdSense 广告。14. Yield to Pedestrian :
1) I want to complete landing pages for all four of my main websites15. MyHou:
2) I want to install on all four sites a four-part graphic widget that links to the landing page, the best posts, the funniest posts, and the most useful posts
3) I want to put up a better background on http://picsremix.com (suggestions?)
话说自己独立建博已经一年多了，这也算是第二个独立博客，不能说经历过多少风风雨雨，但也付出了一番心血，从一无所知到略懂皮毛，从孤家寡人到有一班值得学习和敬佩的博友，在此衷心感谢您们，感谢您们一直以来的支持和帮助。16. Devakshor:

My goal is that the Joyful Days blog benefits enough people to generate a monthly income of at least $800 a month. Too new to blogging to know how many daily uniques, RSS subscribers etc will give that result. That’s what I have to figure out next year!22. Rarst :

3. I’m going to start Video Blogging!
1) Get at least two friends to start blogging. This means you!!! Even if you keep your blog private (that’s easy to do) or accessible only to your friends and family, it’s just too easy to have a nice site these days. I have a whole different post coming about managing your online reputation. Having your own site is the first step. Grab a domain name for a few bucks a year, and talk to me about hosting. I’m running a friend special right now.28. Zen Dreams:

提到我自己的 Nooidea.com 我打算还是继续“装傻充愣”下去，必定这个傻博才出生不到2个月，以前的博客写了不少，从MSN的space后来到改版的Live Space，也写过blogger，甚至还申请过Donews，最后写到了比较简单舒服的blogbus，其实都是为了能有个中看的二级域名。。直到域名，空间跌倒白菜价终于舍得出手，关于Nooidea.com的来源和介绍，大家可以猛击一下两个词语：1.来源 2.介绍31. Putting Blogs First:

1. Reach 500 visits a day on my blog. I am not sure what to expect, but if I can reach this, it will be good!34. DailyApps:

3. At least $1,000 monthly revenue from all my internet projects
Build up my blog subscribers to 500 and my newsletter subscribers to 500. Right now my newsletter subscriber list is growing faster than the blog. I have made some changes in my article resource box to drive more traffic directly to the blog. Some of the goals below will assist me in achieving both subscriber goals.37. Bloggers Guide:

By the end of next year, I’d like to have the luxury of not needing to set any goals for this blog for the coming year(s). I’d like it to soar, with nary a thought to how high above the ground it is or how far below the sky. To be one with the wind, period.42. Lx7:
1. The return of the Lx7 – Podcast – Once the studio is renovated and relatively dust free I am DEFINITELY bringing the camera in and shooting more how to videos, and get out to do some event based artist interviews.43. Vanae:
2. Issue #3 of Assembler Techno Fanzine – all the articles are already here on the blog, but I haven’t done the magazine / PDF design.

1. Re-design the architecture of the site. It’s difficult to navigate and it doesn’t give people a lot to grab onto.46. Tundra Headquarters:

3. Boost daily unique visitors from nil (where it’s at right now despite my best efforts) to 500.
1. Reach out to more Tundra owners. People really seem to enjoy our ‘Featured Vehicles’ segments, and we’re going to work on boosting the number of trucks we write about.47. Our New Office:
2. Boost the number of RSS and email subscribers to 500. We’ve worked on posting on a regular basis (every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) and we’re starting to get pretty darn consistent. The next step is to increase the number of people that read our site regularly, even if it’s just from their inbox or RSS reader.
1. Get more consistent. I’m not blogging often enough, plain and simple. If Sara and I work at it, we can post an entry every day of the week.48. Weblist:

1. Write 64 articles. My articles are technical and generally require a lot of research, and I want them to be accurate so that they will be a resource to search traffic for years to come. My current rate is about one article every 10 days. I’d like to publish one full-length article per week in 2009, plus some shorter articles that take less work.50. Geek Entrepreneur:
Page Views: 5,000 a month by November 200951. Let’s Go Amerks:
Unique Visitors: 1,000 a month by November 2009
