Thank you for the TIPS!!!<br />I have a tweeter account but since I don't have a shop I haven't really used it for this purpose, just for the inspirational thoughts and what I'm doing kind of stuff... I am amazed on how people manage to tweet (I always forget it exists).

I started my blog just a week ago so am now trying to get some readership but I'm not too stressed with stats. I decided to start commenting on the blogs I read everyday and I totally agree with Ivana, your comments should say something interesting. Even if I still sometimes write only "you look great" when I really think just that :-) <br />To get noticed you need to work hard and stay true to yourself. In my case, my mantra these days is slow and steady wins the race.piccola samuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416337894853844727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-61454948602512585972010-03-03T21:16:27.827-07:002010-03-03T21:16:27.827-07:00Thank you for this series - it's very interest...Thank you for this series - it's very interesting, even from a how-do-other-people-blog kind of perspective, not a "trying-to-build-a-business" point of view. (in fact, I think I have some blog envy happening!)<br /><br />I'm curious to know about how statistics, especially blog "hits" affects other bloggers. I got rid of stat counters, because I was always checking them, but what do others do?Cate Brickellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730263438169717009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-88301695167613955352010-03-03T19:23:15.779-07:002010-03-03T19:23:15.779-07:00I only started a blog two months ago, and I'm ...I only started a blog two months ago, and I'm still befuddled by reasons behind its lows and peaks in hits (my peak so far has been 80 views one day! I still celebrate it :D). Commenting on other blogs definitely helps, but I think the most important thing is that your comment is actually interesting. I mean, I often leave comments such as "this is wonderful" but I think that you get really noticed when you actually relate something more than that (e.g. contribute a personal story that the post reminded you of, or a link to something related to what the post was talking about). I definitely also gave up on the idea of commenting JUST to get clicks on my blog - it just wastes my time and the space on the other blog. So I really comment only when I have something to say. I think it works well.<br /><br />Ivana<br /><br />p.s. Also, what seems to help a bit too is being one of the first commentators on a new post, I get the feeling that people will usually click on the first few commentators to see who they are, but after more than 3 or 4 it gets tiring (at least this is how I read blogs!). Not much you can really do about this, you certainly shouldn't be hanging round your rss reader 24/7 just to catch those posts the second they come in, but if it happens by chance - it's a good thing, I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-30880824168542699842010-03-03T18:24:06.753-07:002010-03-03T18:24:06.753-07:00Should I be worried that I am the only guy comment...Should I be worried that I am the only guy commenting? What does that say about me? Ha ha. I think my wife is going to tease me a little bit when I tell her. Which she should. <br /><br />Anyway, the twitter thing kind of boggles my mind. I just don't really get it. Oh breadcrumbs...I think I just became an old man by saying I don't get a new piece of technology. Hold on for a moment while I go have a mid life crisis.<br />...<br />...<br />...<br />...<br />...<br />Ok I am back. I think I am going to have to look into twitter, but I like that you don't twitter. I suppose it is all about being true to yourself. <br /><br />KjOKjOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016120347681322731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-66198685569404379942010-03-03T18:14:38.879-07:002010-03-03T18:14:38.879-07:00I broke up with Twitter a week or so ago...I just ...I broke up with Twitter a week or so ago...I just couldn't keep up like I wanted to.
