Is is possible to measure online success? Do you consider your self successful when you earn $5,000 per month from your online business or are you successful when you can say good bye to your 9 to 5 day job and earn the same salary working from home, or is it when you get 10,000 visitors to your site per day?
Some people [Tag-Tec]measure online success[/Tag-Tec] only in money while others measure online success in time and freedom to do what they want and when they want.
For me online success is the ability to live comfortably, skip the daily commute, go to the grocery store in the middle of the day when everyone else is at work and skipping work for a day or two if I want to because I can thanks to passive income streams that are often only available to those who work online.
Here is another view about measuring online success.

You have to start out using traffic goals because in the first few days it shows that you’re doing something right. Later sales goals can take over.
Great advice, April. I was already doing most of that but appreciate the new links to Who’s Talking and StatCounter. I use Google Analytics. Do you think it’s pretty much six of one and half-dozen of the other when it comes to GA vs SC, or do you see some advantages of one over the other?
Being a map geek myself, I like the GA map overlay, but more for general interest than for any meaningful analysis.
It also pays to check out your website with different browsers, just to make sure there isn’t any weirdness going on for some of your visitors.
Online success i can’t have to believe this news.Does w can actual measure the thing.
