Last week we smashed our visitor record by 240%!
A colleague wrote to me today. She’s been blogging her heart out, but not getting many comments. So I offered some advice:
‘You certainly have been faithful with your blogging.
It’s such a slow burn.
But the search engines are going to love you for it in the end.
The number and scope of your posts is amazing.
You deserve a lot more comments.
I can’t find you on Twitter.
I promote each of my posts several times on Twitter.
This has been key to building visitor traffic.
It has also helped to be mentioned in several blog lists:

We’ve also had some comments from Seth Godin and Penelope Trunk.
These blogging heavyweights add massive cred; just check the traffic spike from Penelope’s last visit! (See above.)
Another way to galvanise your readers is to guest on other blogs.
If you can think of a topic or three that would appeal to our readers:
I could ask MYOB if they’d like to have you as a guest poster.
You’d look jolly good in our Hall of Fame:

With best regards and many thanks for your update. P.

It seems that blogging is often a thankless, readerless pursuit. Which is not a bad thing. Just a reality check that we’re awash with content. Blog for love, I say. And I wish I could fire up with Twitter but, sadly for me I’m sure, it’s not a trumpet of which I’m fond. In any case, these are fine, sensible ideas Paul. I always read with great interest.

You got that right, Adam. It is a long road to hoe. But, as you say, if you’re fond of hoing. Hoe in! Thanks for reading.
