Thoughtfully composed by Tanner Filed under: Wedding, Financial Planning, Wedding Fundraising |
Today is a good day! We just hit our first milestone, 5% of our total budget saved and placed in a high interest savings account for our wedding.
Our site has only been open for 19 days and we have saved $250 or 5% of all of the money that we will need for our wedding.
Here are our money saving stats so far:
Leftover Change: $53.00
Google Adsense: $36.85
Senseo Sale on Amazon: $81.84
Selling DVD’s on Ebay: $60.00
EmigrantDirect Automatic Withdrawals & Interest: $19.21
Here are our site specific stats so far:
We have had a total of 1841 visitors and 3627 pageviews at about 1.97 pageviews per person (I want this number to increase).
The average time spent on the site is 2 minutes, 19 seconds (I want this number to increase).
The most popular post was How to Make Chocolate Flowers by Lacey.
Our highest referring search engine was of course Google.
Our most popular search phrase was “saving for a wedding” and second best was “wedding project wbs.”
Highest amount of visits in one day was 164 unique visitors.
Highest earned Google Adsense day was around $5.00. This trend is increasing as well.
Here is a look at our traffic trends since opening the site:
Nice upward trend (Note our lazy or busy days, heh…the dips)
I want to increase the search engine ratio and direct users (bookmarkers) dramatically.
Our search engine traffic daily…once again, beautiful upward trend. I want to see this skyrocket one day 
My Goals for the Future of the Website:
1000 unique visitors a day.
3-4 pageviews per visitor.
100 subscribed members to my RSS feed.
$30 per day with Google Adsense.
More comments on the posts.
Any tips or comments about how we are doing so far? I’d love to hear!

Oh, forgot to mention another goal.
Our highest search engine “search day” ever was 24 unique searches.
I’d like to raise that to 300 in a day.
BTW: These are long term goals and will take a lot of work.
