Growth After Moving from Blogger

The picture itself may not be clear, but the Trend Is…

This graph is of my FeedBurner Subscriptions from October 2005 to Present. On the left, while I was using Blogger, I started getting a decent subscription rate, then it stagnated. Then the Big (maybe not That big) drop was when I changed over to using WordPress with my Own Domain.

I did expect some drop in stats in the move, and took the loss of readership into consideration before making the decision. But the lack of movement and improvement had to take priority if I wanted more exposure for my Blog.

As can be seen on the graph, since the move, there has been steady growth in subscriptions. The same can be said for steady readership from other sources such as referrals and search engine hits.

So, if you are considering waiting to change from a hosted Blogging or Website service to using a Domain Name of your own, why wait? The Benefits far Outweigh the losses.

I can’t guarantee that your results will be the same, but I will tell you that continuing to use a free hosted service will not provide the same opportunity for growth as having your Own Domain.

    1. Wait. Isn’t that what I said would happen? Of course I didn’t have the stats to back it up. Proof is in the pudding, I guess. ;)

      I’m glad you are settling in to your new home. I like it here. It’s much cozier than your old place!

    2. Hey Chris,
      Yes You Did… And I appreciate That You Did…
      That’s one if the reasons I Did…
      I just wanted to pass along the advantages to others.

      I like the new place a lot better too, it’s like moving into a new house, you just have to get used to where things are and how they work.

      Joe
