Traffic is not going to increase no matter how many super high quality posts you put out. Making money from blogging is more about promotion than it is about making blog posts. This is something many bloggers don’t understand.” [...] [...] Blog Herald has a nice view on this aspect of blogging. “If nobody knows about your blog, it doesn’t matter how often you update it.

The readership of my own blog has been static for some time, no matter how often I post (within reason) or seemingly how good the posts are. Spikes from things like StumbleUpon don't tend to translate to regular readers, probably because it's a niche blog and many stumblers just won't be interested (unlike, say, a humour blog). While my primary goal is not financial, I would still like people to be reading my blog. In the last couple of months I have been posting irregularly as the lack of growth was a bit dispiriting. Now I'm feeling more positive again and am going to make more of an effort to market the blog. I guess I have to accept that it goes hand-in-hand with quality content these days.

I really don't care if how many people are reading my posts as long as I am happy and satisfied of what I want to share to my readers. That's is why Im not good in writing serious articles, that your acting like your someone who knew something big but actually not. Just being true to your self is the best thing in blogging.

Blogging comes from within. If it were all about getting hits and gaining a huge number of readers, that would come through in the blog. Write your blog, let the world sort it out. It's been shown that the vast majority of bloggers who make page one on sites like Digg enjoy 69 minutes of fame. So what? I'd rather enjoy writing my latest post. If a hundred people read and enjoy it too, fine. If a million skim and gain nothing from it, is it a better blog? It is if you're out to make money, I guess.
