September 2019 Activity Report & Stats

Welcome to the SideGains September 2019 Activity and Stats Report!

A much busier month for me than August, given I had no two week holiday slap bang in the middle of the month and my daughters went back to school after the summer break.

As a result, I’ve been more active with blogging, social media and blog commenting.

Anyhow, here’s what I’ve been up to and how SideGains has performed in September 2019.

SideGains Search Console Stats September 2019

Some relatively big changes month on month here… though my total click numbers are still very low, while I’m waiting to get some Google organic love!

Month	Clicks	Impressions	Avg. CTR	Avg. Position
August 2019	19	6,370	0.3%	87.7
September 2019	73	14,200	0.5%	66.6

• Clicks have increased by 284.21%.
• Impressions have increased by 122.92%.
• Average CTR has increased by 66.7%.
• Average Position has gone up by 21.1 places.

Since my numbers are so small I’m not over excited about the actuals, but the percentage growth and position increases are substantial.

I’ll keep this in perspective though until I start getting serious traffic. For now I’m at a point where SideGains is still new and I don’t yet have the authority to warrant a glut of visitors each day.

This will change as time passes though… assuming I keep up the same level of effort!

Social Media

As I mentioned, I’ve been WAY more active in social media in September 2019.

I’ve pretty much focused my efforts on Twitter and Pinterest though, so you’ll see not so much month on month growth for Instagram and Facebook. I do not outsource anything at the moment and so I have to choose my battles!

Anyway… here’s how my social accounts look at the end of September 2019 compared to August 2019.

Onwards and upwards. I’m interested to see what happens in October 2019.

Bye for now and thanks for reading!
