In my last post about my traffic-getting goal, My Road to 15,000 Visits – Revisited, I talked about not making the goal in December, how I was going to take a breath in January and pursue the goal again in February. I also spoke about raising the bar and stretching to reach your goals.

Well, I relaxed and guess what happened? 16,502 visits in January, a nifty 20 percent increase over December!

Cool. I couldn't have done it without you.

All told, I got just over 20,000 visits in January to Muscle-Build.com and this blog, combined. That's really good. In fact, it's awesome. I never thought I'd get a small city to visit my site in one month!

I haven't even added in the traffic from the User Forum, either. I'd like that traffic to go up substantially, as I poured a lot of effort into setting it up. And I set it up because you, the reader, asked for it. Now, get out there and use it.

Please

What should I shoot for next? Let me know in the Comments.
