The biggest highlight for this blog last year was the one-month blog competition between AndrewOoi.com and TwoSuperheroes in November. Somehow looking through my old posts I forgot to mention that I won in the end. However, that’s not the reason for this post.

Lessons
It was the competition itself that actually pushed me into overdrive and search for interesting posts to write about. As you can see below, after the competion, I simply got lazy and posting frequency dropped drastically. So did my traffic. However, TwoSuperheroes continued their pace and it looks like their blog is really taking off. Even though there’s no competion on now between us, 2superheroes have beaten me real bad the last 2 months

AndrewOoi.com traffic

TooSuperheroes.blogspot.com traffic


The contests continues..
One thing that I’ve learnt is that if you put some hard work into your content, people will just come. I’m going to treat the month of February like a contest again and see if I can reach my November traffic again.

Again, I choose twosuperheroes as my comparison site simply because it is so much fun competiting against them. I guess bloggers like me need a rival to instill some initiative. Otherwise, I’ll just get lazy. This will be extra challenging as Chinese New Year is around the corner. So, I’m hoping to pre-write enough articles to  post daily.
