To be honest, I've not really analyzed mine like that... but I'm going to. I wonder why that's happening? It is frustrating, especially when you really want someone to give their two cents on a particular topic and no one takes the bait. And then you wonder, why do so many people enter vie those two links? What the heck did you do to make them so SEO friendly. Eeesh... this whole thing is for the birds. I'm just going to write and try not to be offended when my page views dip into the single digits ;) 3 Monkeys and a Martinihttp://www.3monkeysandamartini.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151934558560707591.post-55094201830035726102012-11-13T23:01:02.210-05:002012-11-13T23:01:02.210-05:00Yeah, um, I know it's three weeks after you ma...Yeah, um, I know it's three weeks after you made this post, but, um, yeah, I agree with the commenter above - you only started this two weeks before that? Damn, I'm jealous...<br /><br />A lot of what you wrote makes perfect sense, and is common sense. Part of it, for me, is figuring out what I want most. I don't want to be a one-hit wonder, I want people to find my blog, become interested, and wanna come back to hear what I have to say. I have a core of about 10-15 people I think who actually read my blog on a fairly regular basis. Would I like more? Yes. Of course. I like to feel heard. But I'm also kinda content with the core group I have, and know that it will grow slowly... <br /><br />I also know that my readers are actually REALLY loyal and supportive. Yes, I went onto Twitter to pimp my blog. But I've made some friends along the way - including you. <br /><br />I know it's not about the page count, even though I religiously watch it. Partly because I'm in an internal petty competition with an asshole where I want to hit 9,000 faster than he did. (But I don't usually tell people that). But I am actually frustrated at my two top pages because NO-ONE has ever left a comment, and I don't think anyone has stayed after reading them. They are astronomically higher than all the other pages, and I have no idea why people read them, other than an SEO hit that doesn't clearly keep them. I'm almost tempted to de-publish them. <br /><br />So page views, alone, are not the measure of success for me. Apparently. And certainly not once I reach that magic 9,000 level... ;) <br /><br />Anyway... now I'm rambling - I'm apparently in a rambling mood this evening. You are awesome, and I am jealous, and already, as you know, stealing your ideas. <br /><br />Xoxo..

I'll spend a year building a website, and as soon as it's done, I'll immediately start rebuilding. But the best part of this is that it is just mine. With my crazy, inappropriate thoughts, and my "this is how I would be if they wouldn't throw me in jail" antics. My husband is mortified (which kind of makes it even better ;) <br /><br />Leave a link to your site (they do follow :) and add a link to our "add a link" page. I think the best thing about my new blogging adventure is meeting al the awesome chicks in the club, and the hilarious and supportive network they provide. So link it up... and I'll be sure to stop by your site. I mean, you're my new best friend (insert stalker music here).

And thanks for giving your perspective!

And I will definitely take you up on the tissue... although it is turning out to be a family-sized problem (just wait for my post on my son's less than stellar grade for "health and safety" procedures at school).
