The Christmas season is quickly approaching. This means lots of snow, eating great food and spending time with family. It also means spending lots of time trying to find the perfect gift for the loved ones in your house. As a blogger, there are a lot of Christmas presents we’d like to see our blog receive. Here are a few things that I would like to receive for my blog.
- A 1000% increase in visitors
How nice would it be to wake up and see that instead of the normal 100 visitors you now have 1000 visitors. - The average visitor stays for 10 minutes
Now that you’re getting 1000 visitors by the time you wake up, all of your visitors stick around for 10 minutes each. They’re reading your articles and interacting on your site. - minimum of 30 comments per post
One of the best ways to see if people like your articles is to see the comments on them. A great Christmas gift for me would be at least 30 comments per post. This is a great way to see if people actually like what your writing or not. - Only important emails
Instead getting spammed with a lot of useless emails requesting links, asking for posts, etc… all of your emails are extremely important. People wanting to give you stuff,people wanting to buy advertising on your site and things like that. This would make your day a lot easier because you no longer have to wad through the useless emails. - Your articles get referenced by professional bloggers everyday
Darren, John Chow, and Daniel reference your articles every day increasing traffic even more. - Your site becomes Page Rank 10
Because of all the backlinks from popular site your Page Rank goes up to 10. This also means that you can sell your advertising for a lot more. - You can become a professional blogger
Because of everything above it is now feasible to become a professional blogger. You can shed your job and start writing full time and actually make a good living off of it.
If all of these things were given to me for Christmas I would be the happiest blogger around. Just imagine if you woke up on Christmas morning and even one of these things happened. But thats just what I would want for my Blogging Christmas. If you could have anything what would you want?

Most of those points revolve around the idea of massive flash traffic. And while I do feel excited every time one of my articles hits some social network, it’s not realistic to wake up to 1000 new subscribers. Not without really compelling content to retain that flash traffic — but then you can turn pro right away, no need to wait
What I would have liked, as a blogging gift, is a new professional redesign of my blog! My current theme is no longer supported and things are starting to break other parts of software are moving on.
