Comments on: The Fine Line Between Blog Visitors Success And Failure

Thanks for contributing, Jose. Here’s my general take on it all. Either you do something or you don’t to try to help bring visitors to your blog. You can pay for it with money or you can pay for it with sweat equity. Personally, I feel the sweat equity is worth it; I’ve met some great people that I never would have met if I hadn’t visited other blogs and commented, or at least read what they and some of the people they linked to had to say. In the long run, it really is a community that likes to share and visit with each other, and you can’t get that kind of loyalty by paying for it.

You stressed the importance of blog commenting. Others says they lack time for this task. But I think there must be a way to deal with this challenge.

Thanks Mitch for this interesting post.

Hi Chandan,

True, getting other people to write about you can work wonders with your blog and your websites, and everyone, by now, has written about both of those guys often.

I like the topic of the article here. I think the success of John, is somehow effected by his strategy of marketing. He say other guy to write about him and his blog, in return he will linkback to them. So by which he get one extra publicity on the blogsphere.

Darren is also one very old guy on blogging, and write most of article on blogging which help reader.

Udegbunam, people love knowing what a schedule is like so they know what to expect. If you can maintain that kind of schedule, it’s all good.

As far as contests go, most folks are 200% willing to participate if money is involved. Writing millions of posts a day was once my dream but I’ve now kept it @ a reasonable, twice a week as it fits in nicely with my regular work schedule.

Hi John,

First, I am serious in my bid. I think it would be a lot of fun.

Second, glad to have your point of view on this topic. You know, I figure the A-list bloggers have earned their bones so that they can sometimes go off on a tangent with their posts. John Chow talks about restaurants and his travels often, and sometimes Chris Brogan throws up a couple of lines and moves on. For me, every once in awhile I decide to break things up by throwing in some videos I’ve come across just for entertainment purposes, but for the most part I’m writing a lot of stuff because I’m trying to make my mark on the world.

This can be a true community of bloggers that can help each other grow to at least being close to the top, so that we can keep on sharing with those who might follow behind us. I believe in that, and I always hope many other people do also.

The post makes a lot of sense because I would be in awe of people like Chris Brogan etc who can fart and people say Lovely Here’s the FACTS We are building a group all of us have been successful in that we haven’t quit:) Here’s what I wrote on my blog tonight
Blogging is a craft and with any craft discipline and determination brings skill and skill brings opportunity.

Opportunity brings success. See you on the top.Now we have to take risks and work even harder then those goofs that still have the limelight.SO
On Jan 1st I’m offering 7 bloggers a chance to co own my domain bloggerluv.com
each day I will write about some lucky blogger, the others can write as often as they want or at least one a week,this way WE are all working on the same page and the authors page will have do follow links and hopefully the group effort will make it well worth it
@ Mitch I’m seriously considering you to take over the blog for a week, this will let you tap all my people etc and you can write about you your ideas your site everything
I see to many bloggers not RTing or helping each other a joint effort guarantees success
Keep me posted if you were serious cause Iam the only other person wants to use it to dog some new lame ass blogger that messed with my boy extremejohn as fun as that would be I have to get real serious now I just passed my second year it’s showtime
thanks
@Sire that bloggerluv offer is definitely open to YOU
GET SOME LUV LOL Thanks Mitch

The reason I said that about the content, Dennis, is because both Sire and I tried to run contests last year. I thought I had pretty good giveaways, and what happened is that after the contest ended traffic dropped dramatically. Since Sire’s contest was relatively recent, I’m not sure how his went. Maybe you keep a couple of folks, but the overwhelming majority are stopping by for free stuff, then moving on.

Thanks JP. It does all come from traffic, but getting that traffic can be an interesting cat and mouse game at times.
