The fog is lifting on my blog and I am starting to gather some statistics. Even the best blog in the world is a waste of time if no one reads it. I am not trying to be famous, I simply wish to share my blog and photos with people who have similar interests.
This blog was a bust until I posted it on my Face Book page. Until this morning I had zero visitors and zero page views. Once on Facebook the visitors started to roll in and I am very pleased to report that as of 8 pm I have had seventy-seven visitors who have reviewed 103 pages! I even had one comment, but no “Likes”.
While all of this activity is appreciated it does not make what I would call a successful blog. That would require steady traffic over a period of some time. Success will require good photos and interesting topics and that will be my responsibility. Hopefully I will keep the blog interesting and earn some likes.
Browsing your reader and making a few comments on blogs every day or so really helps…..

Yes, I know you are right but I have had difficulty finding bloggers with topics I appreciate. I hate to throw around plaudits that are meaningless but I am trying.

I search for things I CAN genuinely like and applaud. It’s work but it helps in the end. It’s worth putting in the time……

Have you tried tags in the reader? Have you gone to “freshly pressed” to browse?. Also try some “Meet and Greet” pages on some blogs where you leave your link and get exposure to other bloggers. Mine is a slow growing blog, but all these things have helped. I’ve joined larger, successful blogs and explored links through them. That has helped a lot.

Thank for your suggestions. I have tried a number of them earlier and will continue working at it. I appreciate your input but I have a long way to go.
