Wade Liberator sent an email announcing this blog to his contact list and readership jumped well over that of the previous couple of months. Thanks Wade!!!Unique monthly visitors rose from just under 300 a couple of months ago to 569 this month with an average 3 page views per visit. 156 are repeat visitors, up almost 2x. An average of 10 repeat visitors come each day. Two-thirds viewed the “current” lesson while the remaining third viewed archived lessons.
Visitors came from 34 different states and 9 countries. 165 visitors found the site through GOOGLE, MSN, or YAHOO using search terms such as “lifeway”, the lesson title, or the Bible passage. As a ministry, I praise the Lord that the blog is building audience, but it is not without issues.
For example, unlike missional Baptist blog, http://www.sbcoutpost.com/ or http://www.fide-o.com/, this blog garners very few comments from readers (using the comment feature of Blogger), which is puzzling. Do any of you have suggestions for making this site more interactive?
Lastly, I’ve sent inquiry email to the LifeWay Leader Guide writer for Isaiah to invite him to be a “guest blogger” for a week, but received no response. Perhaps some of you readers who are teachers would like to guest blog some week? Email me.
Blessings,
Ronnie
P.S. The Encouragers Class that I co-teach averages attendance of 50 to 60 members per week.
Meme: What is your average class attendance?

Answering an email inquiry, early on I did allow anonymous comments to be posted on the blog, but primarily spam was posted, so I enabled word verification to eliminate that problem. Yes, you must have a blogger ID in order to leave a comment, but no information is collected by blogger other than an ID an password.
I did hear back today from the LifeWay person who wrote the material for Isaiah.
He declined the opportunity to blog given his current work commitments.
I'll keep trying to invite other people to blog, or maybe try to interview one of the LifeWay writers?
