		<description>Monika, those are great stats. 

You&#039;re well ahead of me there - The honest Way only averaged 233 unique visits a day for last month. 

Your alexa has also improved I just noticed - on that you&#039;re catching me up! Hopefully we should both see some PR love from Google soon then we&#039;ll both start earning much more from the likes of PPP as advertisers pay more for higher ranking blogs. 

As for going wide, I dunno - I started out with a wide site but then opted for narrow as I think it focuses readers to the center of the page more and you&#039;re less tempted to fill up all that extra white space with more flashing confusing banner ads etc. I find reading full width sites more hard going too - something to do with the newspaper/magazine philosophy of using narrow columns being easier for people to read because their eyes don&#039;t have to scan long lines. 

But that&#039;s just my take on things.

Well done!!!

		<description>Monika,

Congrats - those are great stats.  You just keep plugging away and you will reach that goal.  

For me, looking at stats can be a pick me up.  I look at where I started and where they are now and think WOW - I am writing this for someone...

You go girl! :D

		<description>John, cheers for that,

My freelancing income was from off site work. However, this site is my ID for now and when I have prospective clients I send them to this page for my writing samples.
Because of this site I got those freelancing jobs in the first place.

I am still in the process to set up my own site. On there I will post some unique articles and my profile. Kind of creating my INC.

Yes, I&#039;m very happy with my progress so far. Things are looking great.

Thank you for your lovely comment, I really do appreciate it.

		<description>Michael,
I certainly wouldn&#039;t be happy with just 11 visitors a day. :-) If you look closely you will see that I have 340 visitors a day. 

Thanks anyway

		<description>Congratulations on your income and traffic! You&#039;re doing great! Was your freelance blogging income generated directly from this blog, or from somewhere else?

		<description>That averages to 11 visitors a day.  I don&#039;t know many people that are happy with 11 visitors a day.  I&#039;m guessing that most of your income is offsite and getting traffic to this blog for income is just extra.

I made $150 with PPP last month, they have a very cool program.  I think their new system will cause a downfall of thier business model, but we will have to wait and see.

Best of luck on your goal.
