I set the bar too high. Last month, I set my sights on 10,000 visits for Muscle-Build.com. This month, I increased that figure to 15k. Expecting a 50 percent increase in traffic was surely a "stretch goal."

Unfortunately, I think I pulled something!

I'm so far away from 15k that I don't think I have a snowball's chance in hell. I most likely will hit 10k again, and maybe even get 12k, but surely not 15k, what with the holidays very close by.

And I think that goal is now too lofty for January, too.

I thank everyone for helping me out. I encourage all of you to spread the word – tell a friend, Stumble an article, tweet it, etc. Take another look at Muscle-Build.com and let others know how valuable it is.

Thank you very much. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
