When I wanted to improve this blog, I started out by observing other blogs that were at the level I was at.  I started observing structure of their blog posts, how much they had improved their traffic over the course of the last six months, and what kinds of keywords they were focusing on.

One of the best ways to improve anything is simply by overserving those who are doing what you want to improve, better than you. Companies are constantly monitoring what other competitors are doing, and if one of them finds a way to increase their customers, you can be sure the other company is going to try something very similar.

Ways to Improve Anything by Simply Observing
1. Replicate to Success – Pay attention each day to the technique of the person you want copy each day and try to replicate it.  If you can do a process the same as them, you should be able to do it just as well with enough practice.
2. Analyze – Look through all the details.  Are you missing something?  Though from an outside perspective it can look impossible to capture the same success as someone else, but if you break it all down into pieces, you might get a better idea what is going on.  Together a car looks complicated, but when you start understand each piece, it becomes easier to understand.
3. Figure Out the History – What has this person done over time that eventually led to their improvements? Try to figure out what they’ve been doing over time, but either asking that person directly some questions or trying to find outside information.

You should be able to improve almost anything just be observing those that do it right.  Find out how they do it, what they do and you should be able to get at least a little bit of the same success.
