Remember the 1st of January 2017? Did you decide \u201cThis is the year I\u2019ll start a blog\u201d? Or maybe you set some new blog goals<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for 2017, prompted by our community discussion?<\/p>\n

Well, guess what? We\u2019re coming up to the last quarter of the year – just 3 more months remain in 2017. Are you where you want to be with your blogging at this stage of the year?<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t set any goals you may not\u00a0be sure how you\u2019re tracking. It\u2019s never too late to benchmark where you\u2019re at and prepare for what\u2019s ahead. A good start would be these 17 statistics to monitor on your blog<\/a><\/span>. If it\u2019s your first year of blogging, then check out our tips (and free download) for evaluating your blog\u2019s first year<\/a><\/span>. Even if it wasn\u2019t your first year, the evaluation will still help you work out how you\u2019re traveling with your blog.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been blogging a while, you may want to conduct a more thorough review. Whilst it might be a little early to conduct a full annual blogging review<\/a><\/span>, you may glean enough insights to get you through to the end of the year in good shape by evaluating these seven areas of your blog<\/a><\/span>\u00a0from Darren\u2019s half-yearly review process.<\/p>\n

With the final quarter of the year to go, you may also want to start planning ahead for next year. It will be Christmas before we know it, so it\u2019s a good time to set some blog changing goals for the new year<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d love to know how you monitor your blog\u2019s progress. Do you set goals – annually, quarterly, monthly even? Do you have a process for reviewing your blog\u2019s performance? Perhaps you can share in the comments which metrics\/milestones\/achievements are most important to you? And, most importantly – tell us if you\u2019re where you were hoping to be with your blogging as we move into the last quarter of 2017.<\/p>\n
