Who The Hell Reads Your Blog Anyway?

Editor’s note: We don’t typically write essays about “blogging,” but we’ve received a lot of questions about blogging from many new bloggers recently, so this is for them. If you don’t care about this kind of stuff, then you might want to skip this essay. 

Who Visits Your Site?

That question is far more important than you realize.

Let’s start out by stating that this essay is not about getting more traffic to your site, which sounds a bit odd and somewhat counterintuitive for an essay about traffic, doesn’t it?

The Most Important Thing About Your Traffic Has Nothing To Do With Stats

We could use this time to brag about how we attracted over 500 subscribers to our site in our first full month. Or we could use this time to boast about the attracting 100,000 monthly readers in our first nine months. Or we could talk about how this site has grown way faster than we ever anticipated. Or we could use this time to show off all of the really cool A-List bloggers who follow us on Twitter, bloggers like Corbett Barr, Joshua Becker, Colin Wright, Julien Smith, Tyler Tervooren, Adam BakerNina Yau, Sean Ogle, Chris Guillebeau, and many, many others.

But we’re not going to waste your time. Because none of that stuff matters if you don’t have Great Quality Readers visiting

I'm a technology junkie with an insatiable appetite for learning about the latest trends and products in the market. I've given up (for now) posting new original content, and am instead aggregating links to articles that I come across in my day to day reading. I hope you enjoy these finds!
