The key to keeping a selective Blog audience

After signing up to a stat site I have discovered that unlike many bloggers I have a an audience of about 30 people a month. Now given that about 15 people a month were writing spam replies previously that leaves 15 real people and given that most people check a Blog say once a week that means just 4 people and since I check my own blog at home and work that brings it down to just 2 readers. So thanks to you both.

So what is the key to successfully keep such a select audience? I'm glad you asked.
  1. Don't post intelligent things on other peoples sites or forums, especially widely read ones as this will only bring people your way.
  2. Put up loads of posts especially on a wide range of subjects.
  3. Talk mainly about your self. Like your vegie garden without vegetables, and movies you watched and didn't like.
  4. Talk about issues that were relevant 3 months ago. Like this.
  5. Credit people you get information and ideas from. Like this. That way people will by pass your site and go straight to theirs.

Maybe I can be reader #3? I have found yours to be quite an interesting read. Its funny too, because some of the more widely read sites will have posts that have heaps of comments yet I find of little interest. Yet its where people congregate for conversation....i think their profile is a contributing factor.

Controversy is a good one though...have you noticed that posts on homosexuality and Hillsong get arguments started. One site I read has recieved over 1000 replies to these topics. In the end the replies have moved far away from the primer of the post.

Keep em comin
