Not the most competitive niche?

This site, which has been left to update itself and has had little or no attention for many months, is apparently now the #1 result for a search on Google for the phrase "commercial property blog" - not a lot of blogging going on in this area, it seems (I've linked to those that I found when I was looking previously). However, I can see from the traffic (minimal) that it isn't the phrase with the very highest volume...

Always nice to be at the top of the results though!

Alexa - high watermark?

I'm not going to post these every day from now on, largely because I suspect that at the end of seven days visiting my own blog fairly relentlessly, this is as good as it gets - unless it somehow attracts an audience.

However, the 1-week Alexa rating is up again - to 258,586.

Adsense update

Now getting relevant ads on the blog - commercial property, business lets, commercial property investing - all that sort of thing is coming up nicely.

The banner isn't very prominent, and this isn't about money, but it will be interesting to see what sort of CTR the ads will generate, if any...

Technorati

I've claimed this blog via Technorati and was interested to see that it has a rather more realistic ranking there, as follows:

Rank: 2,763,138 (No blogs link here yet)

However I am not sure how the link-counters work: there is a link to this blog on another established blogspot blog. However it isn't in the body of any posts on that blog, just on the blogroll...

In the course of doing this I have also embedded a Technorati search box into the blog. I shall follow up and add the Technorati rank to the list of monitored metrics.
