Must say, everything you say makes perfect sense. This post is a case in point, there aren’t many things I feel compelled to comment on on the web, but yours was one so I can see it works!
Recently, I’ve been working hard on my content and it does bare fruit. It hasn’t on the amount of visitors yet (early days), but I can see my bounce rate dropping quite substantially.
I’ve always wondered why great content is the key though – I mean, how does content affect how many people actually look at it/find it? Is it because more people share it? Or because you keep people on your page for longer? Or because you write more, you add more key words by default?

One question I do have for you and your other readers is, how do you determine what content you feel would be of interest to your readership? I’m in the mobile applications/website industry (competition is fierce!) and there is a plethora of subjects I could write about but because there are so many, I get stuck in information overload and end up not writing about any of them!!
I don’t have a blog, so I don’t have the benefits of a ‘comments’ section, but how do you do it? Do you ask your visitors? Write about something you think will stick? Be interested to hear your thoughts. Hey, thanks again – you’re well and truly bookmarked 🙂

Cheers,
Alastair

I think that is where a lot of bloggers go wrong. They don’t know enough about their readers and therefore don’t segment them. If they did this before posting a new article, they would know if it would be successful or not.

Speaking of traffic, I don’t tend to get a huge amount from social networks but through search engines. With a blog that has less than 40 posts on it, Thesis and myself must be doing something right?

Thanks for the wake up!!
