Pardon my while I cry in my soup. I almost never look at stats anymore, but I made the mistake of doing so today. According to Google, virtually no one reads this blog. Boo Hoo. To be fair I don’t put much work into it and I rarely do it regularly. Maybe I wouldn’t even read it if it were me from the outside. There is way too much to consume as it is for people, if you want to break through the mess, you’ve got to bring the meat.
I’ve always said is isn’t about the numbers. Well, I’ll amend that, unless the number is 6 (the ave number of people that read this blog). Oh, there are more reading though RSS readers which Google can’t tell me, but Feedburner can. Hey, didn’t Google buy Feedburner?
Personal blogs are always less traveled than hot topic blogs because you really have to buy into the person rather than the topic they are writing about. How compelling are you? If I wrote about politics, I would probably have a ton more readers, but than I would have to shoot myself in the eye because I cannot stand the current state of politics, Obama withstanding. Already too many tech blogs, too many of blogging (how meta). Other good niche blogs:
An enema blog
A blog on fingernail biting
Soda addiction blog
Toe cheese blog
Wine and cheese blog
No, this is getting ridiculous. It’s just going to have to be about me, which begs the question, who cares about you? Well, I guess I’ll go back to not caring. It’s my world, welcome to it, so much as it is.
