People come to blogs to read unique content they cannot find anywhere else. If they find the content to be interesting then they follow the blog. As a blogger you need to create fresh content that cannot be found anywhere else and publish it frequently to attract followers.

I've read through this entire thread and I hope no one ever feels overly discouraged. It takes time. I have a small readership and I'm very content. Which is surprising because in real life I have a very demanding, needy ego. ;)

Anyway, the only thing that really has worked for me is making sure I have fresh, creative content (not waiting MONTHS in between blogging, ouch) and promoting the hell out of it. Reddit and Stumble = Godsend.

I'm really wondering why my stats have gotten so high (for me) but hardly anyone ever comments! I know they are reading / clicking on pages not just coming and leaving because I have another stats counter that counts actual visitors and I have many more page views than visitors.

On the one hand I feel really happy that, after a year plus I'm up to where I'm on the first page of google results for my topic--a very obscure craft--sometimes I'm the first result depending on how you spell it. The actual views are around 300 a day now, which is a big increase even from 3 months ago, and they seem to still be climbing (knock wood). But I don't get why so few of them say "hi!" or 'thanks for the tutorial'!! People have links to me, but they hardly ever comment...Makes me feel lonely and popular at the same time.

Re the posts on this thread asking somebody else "how do you get so many stats?" I think it's like comparing apples and left-handed scissors. It so much depends on your topic/ how big your potential audience is, and how many other bloggers are writing similar blogs that you are essentially competing with... Plus of course just how long you've been plugging along consistently making posts that offer something people want. It would make no sense for me compare my stats to a celebrity gossip blog or a sports blog or a cute animals blog (I go for those, myself)!

Took 3 years and only since around May have I been cracking those numbers. I don't have a Twitter (yet) or Facebook so I haven't promoted it that way. I use more local methods. Telling members of my family, people I meet outside, things like that. It all helps a bit.

One thing that I'd say helps is joining other sites and participating. Chances are that they will click on your name and it will take that person to your blog. Also Dubhappy's chat is a good placeto start. It has a 5% success rating for me because it only worked once. Still since 90% of the comments in the chat room are spam it's not adviseable for many to go there.

As for Keyword Strategy do you mean if the site tells me that most people look up Superman, then I would make more Superman articles? Because if so, then yes :) Currently my top fighters include Godzilla, Lazerman, and Spiderman. So I've made sure to give them a lot of fights.

In my opinion views just come in time and with posts. As long as you keep your blog going, spread the word, and have fun then it'll happen at some point. Your title can be important. Because if it's not taken and someone googles it, yours can be the first link which would help a lot!

Sorry Brandon, on looking back, I see that I didn't answer one of your above questions. I do very little to promote either of my 2 Blogs. I don't use Publicize to Facebook because I hate to add a continuous stream of links to my friends' FB pages, of which I know well that many links will not be of interest to them. I have manually shared some WP blog posts with my friends on FB, but only one of the many "friends" there visited my blog from FB. I also don't want the application that is used to publicise to Facebook to get access to my information.

To add to my reply above, there may be 2 streams of audiences of blog posts - WP Bloggers whom are perhaps mainly (but not all) post teenagers, and School Students whom are literally at school, aged up to 17 or 18, likely to be mainly teenagers and perhaps not likely to be WP bloggers (because their mums won't allow them to be). That's a lot of speculation, and now my head hurts, so that is the end for now.

Regards, Celine aka Star Wise :)

I started my blog "Fascinating Animals" in March this year simply to share my love of and interest in our animal world !! I guess as I love writing & reading and I'm a quadruple Virgo (4 planets in Virgo) and love information, and have used Blogger and My Space, etc. I thought I'd turn my hand at expressing my interests via WordPress.

I don't plan to monetize either of my 2 WP blogs, and I do think that it is somewhat the "luck of the draw" as to the number of hits that a Blog gets. Also, I think that people who go to a site go there because of a very specific topic or theme, like with my new Blog, the majority search terms have been "ice cream" and "green lady" which has led them to my blog posts about twins and the metaphor of ice-cream, and to my post about the Chinese Green Lady print by Tretchikoff.

Even with my FA blog, the word doc I attached above shows a huge number of visits for just a handful of blog posts cum topics, so a skewed distribution for all my blog posts, if you like, indicating just several topics/issues of interest to readers of that blog. I guess that "taxonomy" is a perennial subject at school, haha, which I accidentally tapped into.

I'd like to say also that on my FA site, I did try to get Comments on my blog by doing a post recently for a "free give-away" but only one person (and that was one of my active Followers) participated. I came to the conclusion from that experiment, that readers of my FA site don't care about showing appreciation or acknowledgement of my efforts, and as not many WP Bloggers comment or like posts there altogether, I conclude the viewers are mainly school students.

Curiously enough, my new Blog is getting Likes on all posts by WP Bloggers, and I think this is because it covers a big range or spectrum of topics/themes, including food, art, crafts and more to come, which somehow Bloggers find, I think perhaps through exploring topics on WordPress dot com.

Can you please tell me the title of my post in which there is the spelling mistake of "vist" rather than "visit"? Sorry, I had a quick look but can't find it to correct it. I must correct it though, being a fussy quadruple Virgo that I am.

Once again, thanks for your interest, and it is great to share our thoughts and experiences, I agree also. I am not sure what criteria are required for advertisers to want to advertise on your blog, but perhaps a search on the WP Forums will yield the answers you seek.

Best regards to you & Dough Market, Brandon.

Thank you for sharing. Your site is interesting. I am curious, why did you start the blog? How do you promote it? Where are people coming from? The reason I am asking is I am trying to gauge how to increase traffic to my blog and why people start the blogs that they do.

This is a personal questions and if you do not feel comfortable answering, I understand. Do you plan on monetizing your blog?

The reason for this question, other people can chime in, is I am trying to get an understanding how much traffic a site has to attract to start to become attractive to advertisers. I have no idea how that works.

Also @starwise149, I am not sure if you are aware or if it was intentional, however on your most recent post it says Vist, instead of Visit.

As for an answer to the question of this thread, I started my free WordPress dot com blog in mid March this year, and am amazed that to date (over 3 months) the number of hits on my Site has reached 27,000. My stats show an average of 56 per day for March, then averages of 188 per day for April and 354 per day for May. We are now in the 26th day of June, and my average is 356 hits per day in the month of June.

I agree with what a person has said before in this thread, that many viewers get to a site via an image search. However, that is not to say the people using image searches do not browse or glance through the actual post containing the image.

Then again, having said that, I have the feeling, because there are hardly any Likes of my blog posts and there are even fewer Comments by Bloggers; and of course, by my viewing the specific stats on pages/posts visited, that the appeal of my topic or theme is that it is quite educational. I conclude that it is found and viewed by many school students (whom don't care to leave comments and are not WP bloggers so don't "Like" the posts).

If you open this document here, you will find a screen dump showing the most visited pages of my site over the past 7 days. You can see 400 views of the "Aristocats". My post on "Animal Taxonomy" has always had a high number of views, and incidentally, is my favourite post on my primary blog.

I think that if your blog is educational and if it appeals or is useful to a big section of people (such as High School students, computer trainees, people who love food or art or music or news, etc), that is a good start to get hits. A

I think, also, that a Blog needs to be well designed, easy to navigate, friendly, fun, and contain a diverse range of good content.
