This year, since we are in the beginning of it, I have thought about setting (bold) goals (and this includes my websites too). So, for this website, since it is quite new (started on November 21th) and I feel a good feedback I set up a quite HIGH target, due in 6 months starting today. So, here it is:
My target is to reach 5000 visitors per day 6 months from now!
Starting date: January 18th, Due date: Jujy 18th
The traffic must be stable, not to be 1 day spiked traffic from social networks,traffic that disappear the next day. I am not speaking about unique visitors but about all visitors since a big part of a blog traffic is made up of returning visitors.
Will I make it? Will I fail? Well, I think that I won’t fail, you can not fail in any way. If you don’t get 5000 per day and you get 3000 per day, it is great, you have 3000 each and every day, that is no failure!
At the end of each month I will post the progress and how I got there, what I did to get that progress. And most of it, I am counting on you, people, since to get that traffic you can only count on your visitors to spread the word around.
So, please be part of it! Digg it as much as you can, Stumble it often, I get good visitors from Stumble upon, send it to Del.icio.us, to whatever you want! Send it to your friends or just tell them about it! Let’s see what happens!
All I can say about it is that I will try to dedicate myself as much as I can in the next 6 months to this goal and do whatever I can to achieve my goal. I will probably ask you often to help me with one or two things from the goodness of your heart and sympathy for a fellow guitar blogger.Yeah!
So, subscribe to RSS feeds now and follow the progress each and every step of the way!
And have a post about it on your blog! That will help a lot! Thank you!

Nothing wrong with being ambitious but I think you are being a little bit optimistic! But good luck, I hope I can reach that target too!

I know I am being optimistic, Jon, I just try to give a high target for myself and do whatever I can to achieve it. If I would set a target of 500 visitors per day in 3 month, would it be a challenge? Well, I think not. But 5000 visitors per day (in 6 months) IT IS A CHALLENGE! I know that! And that will motivate me. And as Donald Trump used to say, think big! Or in our case, Sing Big!!
