Success in small steps
July 2, 2008
I have been battling away now on my Beijing blog for nearly a year now and it is just over a month until the the games start in August.
The Wall Street Journal linked to the blog today and Problogger published an article I wrote on Facebook.
Traffic from Google still isn’t great, but I am expecting that to change when the Olympics are on and in the next thirty days as media networks go into Olympic coverage overdrive.
I still have no idea as to how the site will fare, but I am fairly confident I have done enough to at least get it to a point where it should do well.
I keep thinking of the analogy of someone publishing a book or releasing a movie - no matter how much work you put into something you have no idea as to how successful it will be until it is actually released. The site is live of course, but the start of the Olympics is going to be our “premiere”.

Got something to say?
congrats on the WSJ blog post!
So how has the Beijing Olympics site been performing? Has your hard work been worth it?
If you’d be willing to share some stats, maybe I could do an interview with you about it?
Thanks for the comment. The site has done fairly well and then from yesterday we dropped out of Google. An interview sounds good. I am planning on trying to put together an ebook on the experience.
