I believe goals are not universal, as they will vary depending upon the intentions of the blog and the individuals and companies behind it. The goals at m-bossed, considering it was not an established brand like Xerox, were simple: gain readership, be recognized by others in the print industry, and foster a community of ideas for moving forward. To that end, the print community is reading, other online channels have linked to m-bossed, and readers have commented. I am very grateful to all! Also, many companies and individuals who start a blog with the best intentions abandon it within a year's time. I imagine that many underestimate the amount of time needed to host a successful blog community. (Check out Chris Brogan's Overnight Success series on this topic at chrisbrogan.com) M-bossed past the year milestone this past January. The funny thing about milestones is that they live in the past, so now it is time to plan new goals. @All How are you setting your bar? Do you put more emphasis on unique page views, comments, link backs, or longevity? @Lindsay,

How are you setting your bar? Do you put more emphasis on unique page views, comments, link backs, or longevity?
