Blogging.
I live it almost every day and it makes me smile when the content I post is noticed by bloggers from all walks of life. There are so many new bloggers out there, some have just started and I am glad to meet them through this space.
I believe there are really no set blogging rules to follow. The success of one’s blog would actually depend on how you express yourself in cyberspace. There are kindred spirits, they enjoy reading your posts probably because they can relate.
One thing I noticed though, there are bloggers who won’t even like nor comment on your blog except to leave their blog links and invite you to visit theirs. I wonder if they even read your post. I consider those as spam mails and I don’t bother to visit their sites. I am always on a constant search for other blogs that I can follow. Normally, I follow those I like and when I am lucky enough, they follow back. I have blogger friends who’ve been with me since WordPress introduced the “follow” and “like” buttons. The “follow” button was introduced by WordPress back in September 2011. They enabled the new feature “like” in August 2010. If you have been blogging during those years, you would have surely noticed a slight increase in your page views. I discovered other bloggers through likes and comments.
For the past six days, I got an average of 210 page views a day. Best views were recorded last September 2015 and September 08, 2015 bested them all with 4,238 views in one day. At the moment I have a total of 512,504 views with an estimate of almost 300,000 visitors. Views and visitor data are different. One could view a blog once or so many times.
I don’t have that much number of followers. Including my 90 followers at Twitter which I linked to my blog, I only have a total of 2,917. That is for Dreams and Escapes alone since I maintain five blogs. I believe though that it is not the number of followers that counts but the lives you touch through your blog.
Blogging, anyone?
