A Measure of Success

Although there haven't been any new blogs added here in a while (although there are many coming), the hits keep coming and we keep chugging along. I did a little bit of cleaning up today, and was thinking about how I measure success around here. There are many ways, really. How many hits I get, how many comments, clicks on ads, emails thanking me, etc.


However, all of these pale in comparison to the most important measure. That measure is outclicks. As a directory blog, I decided that my measure of success would be how many people that visit this blog click on the other blogs that I feature. The most important reason is that I want the voices of social workers to be heard. My hope is that if people see their blog being visited via this blog, they will link back here and we'll create a great loop of information sharing.

There are SO many great SW blogs out there, and this place is a testament to that fact. Let us all share the love and spread our info around.

Enjoy, and feel free to comment!

The New Social Worker Online is looking for Social Work Bloggers or SW Blog Lovers for an interview! I thought I'd mention it here, as it just seems appropriate. ;)

My next article will focus on how social workers use blogs, what you think of them, etc. If you'd like to give your opinion please email me at karen[at]karenzgoda.org.

Spread the word - please tell your colleagues!

Chicago and Dallas Viewers

What I love about blogging and maintaining this list is the support, encouragement and surprises that I get along the way. One of the surprises lately is on my Sitemeter. Usually, when a person visits here, they have a referral link, so I know where they came from. Lately, I have gotten a big influx of people from Dallas and Chicago who have no referral address! I don't know where they came from. Oh well, I guess I can't know everything.

I just appreciate that you come, and I like that you've all been clicking a lot of links and (hopefully) enjoying the content!

Cheers to you all!

On, and no worries...there are more new blogs on tap soon. ;)
