It's not my aim to measure up, I make my own measure and invent my own 'Math' along the way :) <br /><br />Although I do think that being really successfull indeed is somewhat of a challenge, and since there are lot's of other blogs to choose from, I do make an effort to write interesting posts that are easy to read with lot's of <i>blockquotes & subheadings</i> etc. etc. recently I also discovered how to make cool - Borders - around text <i>(see <a href="http://hpshappywriting2.blogspot.nl/2010/08/assignment-how-you-can-make-your-blog.html" rel="nofollow">How you can make your blog 'Sticky'</a>)</i> Only I don't really care that much about consistancy and updating a blog keeping my posts - Exclusive - and I also don't want to put in to many hours especially on Blogs where there is less readers feedback.<br /><br />Although now on several of my blogs did see a pretty amazing explosive growth in the amount of visitors about <i>+400% growth,</i> only I didn't yet look at the amount of return visitors and things like that that carefully yet. On several of my blogs I now also begin to see a little more Commenting and positive comments. <br /><br />Hopefully many visitors will discover the newly installed Top 3 Bestseller Lists on my Blogs and buy those products so that I can afford to hire an editor to make the quality of my blogs more attractive for Guest Posters. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br />HP van Duurenhttp://hpshappywriting2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-42268826638045549282012-08-18T06:32:23.374-07:002012-08-18T06:32:23.374-07:00Hi Perle,

I did 2 identical posts on blogger tied to Facebook and Wordpress tied to twitter. <br /><br />I started posting mostly haiku and other short prose and suddenly I was getting lots of likes and some thoughtful comments. And omg followers 137 on WP 31 on blogger. Even getting followers on twitter. Poetry - who knew. <br /><br />As I said I did this for me and beyond compiling and publishing a chapbook or 2. Haven't decided where next 135 posts to go.

I am thankful and feel blessed, because so far, my readership is growing and I have had favorable comments. A very well known poet also agreed to guest post from time to time,in the form of "letters from" and so far, she has done one, so all in all,not bad for a blog not yet two years old. What continues to fascinate me is the location of my viewers. Where I fall down though, is the frequency of my posts, but I aim to improve on this area. Great food for thought from you today. Have a great weekend.Yasminhttp://poetsofthecaribbean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
