Being a new kid in the block (as a blogger), it is a constant concern these days as to how do you pull the crowd to your blog, what interesting content can you post, what information or knowledge can you share, how do you get the search engines to rate your blog better & fetch it among search results, what does google analytics reveal about page views on your blog.
Everytime you publish a new post, you end up checking often as to whether someone has viewed it and read it. How many have left comments? But, it seems to be difficult to get a critical mass of readers without active promotion. It feels as though you are one of those weird alien-searching scientists sending radio waves into outer space, hoping that someday a distant intelligent life-form will pick up the signal and respond. It also appears that the readers have already established their loyalties towards their blog favourites & are not keen to look up for newbies. That is, the old time bloggers have captured the whole marketshare & are holding on to it steadfast.
Hope, my friend, as they say, is a good thing!
