Very interesting article, one thing I noticed with A-list bloggers is that when they start off they already have a reader base, means they’ll always feel motivated to post since they know there’ll always be people out there to read what they are writing. We started a blog on our site recently and sadly we still have 0 readers…

Becky funnily enough, if this post were on my personal blog, you’d have slotted right in there with the rest of those hard working bloggers!

It’s like the old sayin
“After ten years of hard graft, he became an overnight success.”

It is good to hear you say this. This has been my sense–as well as my fervent hope. I have maintained that in the end–what matters on the Internet is the same as in the “real” world–that is having something to offer–some type of content that is some way valuable to people–any that, of course, can vary widely.

Promotion, SEO–all matter–as does marketing and advertising in the “real” world. But in the end it boils down to substance.

It is not all the snake oil I see all over cyberspace.

Andy, I kinda dropped the ball a little with this install and the myriad of mods i’d made prior. In short I had a server that was hacked to bits so have been playing catch up sorting all manner of other issues!

I have actually downloaded your vers of sociable or anti-sociable as you so renamed it and will be getting around to installing it soon!

Anyhow, get back to work you slacker

One of the problems with a growing readership is that you have less opportunity to link out with them in a meaningful manner, or even time to read their content. I honestly sometimes a few days without opening a feed reader if I am writing something extensive, investing time in learning or working on niche sites.

The funny thing is I could easily have created content on less in depth subjects, or more popular topics and been more successful – and spent a lot less time doing it.

I have actually slowed down a little in March – I need to increase the posting a little.

What makes it worthwhile is to see changes in how people implement things, especially professional SEOs such as yourself making the occasional change. I notice in your sidebar you are using is_home() for a certain plugin, but you really should use the hacked version of sociable I now provide
