In my post, My Road to 15,000 Visitors, I laid out my plan to get to 15,000 visitors in December 2009.

I didn't make it. But I got close, thanks to you all! Thank you very much!

The site got 13,833. If I added in all the visits to this blog, I easily made 15,000 for "hits" to Muscle-Build.com sites. That's pretty good.

While I didn't make the actual goal, I'm glad I set the bar where I did.

Sometimes, you gotta try something so ridiculous just to see what YOU CAN DO.

If you always work within your comfort zone, you'll never make a breakthrough. I definitely made a breakthrough with last month's goal.

As is customary for me, when I make an all-out effort, I then take a moment to relax. January is that month

If I get better results in January than in December – that's awesome. But if I don't, I will not be heart-broken. February is the month we make another MAX attempt!

• My Road to 15,000 Visitors 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......

• Traffic Update: Visits Have Been Flat Once in a while, I make a post about traffic numbers, usually when I set a stupidly ridiculous goal for myself and am about to miss it :) Today is no different.

• Using 1 Month or Worse Curves with Exponential Decay For Predictive Analysis on Prosper The 1 month or worse curves that I published over the weekend have many potential uses in determining the interest rate required to make a certain return.  When the curves are complete we can simply solve the Markov Model since the vehicle is a fairly straight forward 3 year fully......
