Part of growing a business is, reviewing the process, seeing what you are doing right, and what needs to be corrected. It’s OK to make a mistake; it’s not OK to repeat it.
In building a blog ultimately we are concerned with three things.
1.   Are we getting traffic/readers?
2.   Are they interested in what we have to say?
3.   Are they coming back for more?
ÂÂ
Though these things are important, one has to be careful of that they don’t begin to obsess about these areas while sacrificing many other areas of blog growth.
When you begin to build your blog you have to have a sense of the reader (market) you want to attract, the feedback system you will use to determine if they are interested in your blog, and the measuring system that will let you know if you are succeeding.
Once you have your strategy set you have to work on building that blog. You need to focus on content, layout, and awareness. If you don’t then you wont have a blog. This may seem like an obvious statement, but many beginning bloggers focus on areas that are ultimately causing their blog to stall from the get go.

3 tips to help you blog grow.
1.   Define your neiche.
·       Know what you want to write about. If it is going to be a personal blog, or a topic related blog.
ÂÂ
2.   Post, Post, Post.
·       A blog without content is a waste of server space. Most of your energy should be dedicating to uploading you brain onto your blog.
ÂÂ
3.   Create awareness.
·       Advertise your posts, on Blog Carnivals , and Digg. Comment on Blogs that you feel have the same readership you desire (make sure your comments have value. Comments that say “Nice Post†and a link back to your blog get deleted)
ÂÂ
3 Things that will slow you down.
1.   Constantly checking you site stats.
2.   Constantly checking your technorati ranking.
3.   Constantly checking your email for comments.
ÂÂ
As you will notice above the danger is in “Constantly†checking these things. If you do these things dozens of times each day, you are taking away time that should be used on creating content and spreading awareness.
I recommend that until you have a minimum of 50 posts you shouldn’t check stats or Technorati at all. Your Comments you can check once a day. After the 50 posts you should limit yourself to once a day for all three.
