June Long Weekend 2007
Almost 12 months ago it started raining, it rained and rained and rained. Then the wind started, and it blew and blew. It rained so much and blew so hard that the streets filled with water because all the drains were blocked.
Then a dirty great big ship landed on one of the city beaches and good times were had by all. (note the sarcasm)
Well yesterday it started raining and pretty well rained most of the day. Last night it started raining again and has been non-stop since, and it’s been quite heavy as well. Also this morning the wind started picking up a little bit.
Hope we’re not in for a repeat performance of last year!

End of the 2007, bring on 2008!
Well it’s the end of 2007 and it’s been a pretty good year, but instead of doing what every other blogger has done and write an entry on what’s happened this year I’ve decided to write a blog on what I’d like to see happen next year with my blog. I’m going to keep this short and simple as its New Years Eve and I’m getting ready to go out and play a round of golf.Anyway, lets get this little list started.
More Traffic - my average has been around 80 uniques a day, though I’ve had a few spikes of 400 a day throughout the year. I’d like a modest rise to an average of around 200 - 250 per day
More Subscribers - at the moment it varies, one day I have 30 the following I have 4. I’d love there to be atleast 100 subscribers to my RSS feed
More Advertising Revenue - currently I’m making around $10 AUD a month from the advertising on this blog. Those little ads at the end of each entry and the other ads on the right hand side of the blog, well if you click them and buy something or even sign up to your own Widgetbucks, Bidvertizer or Google Adsense account I make a few dollars, and so can you. I’d like to get that well above $100 a month.
More Links - I get a handful of incoming links each day, basically these are where other bloggers link my posts in there blogs. I’d love to be getting quite a few per day, this will also help get more traffic too.
Higher Page Rank - Google has a little algorithm which ranks different websites / pages on their relevancy, basically this Page Rank helps their search engine weed out the spam and what not. Currently my page rank is 0, though if you enter this site through www.mpimagery.com then I have a PR of 3. I’d love to increase my Page Rank in 2008, 5-6 would be really nice.
More Content - all of the above is achievable if I’m providing new and original content, particularly the sort of content that people want to read. So basically this part is completely up to me and only me, hopefully I can do it and if I can it’ll influence all of the above ‘wants’..
So now that you’ve read what I’d like to get done next year, tell me what are you hoping to achieve in 2008?
Anyway, I’m about to head out to golf and hopefully have a better game than I did yesterday. So have a fantastic New Years everyone and I’ll catch you next year.
Cheers Matt!
