I just started a new blog called http://mybumbusiness.blogspot.com and I’ve been using the tips found on your site to try and grow my base. Already after one day I have several phrases on google linked to the articles that in turn link to my site.

Thank you so much!

It took m a year of poking around to find my niche, marketing & promoting books. The best way I’ve found to increase my subscribers is to read comments on other’s blogs. The substantive responses cause me to follow their links. I don’t follow “Great post” links.
I’m discouraged by my mere 30 subscribers, but hopefully my time and content will pay off.

I think that the most important in a blog is have a lot RSS suscribers. 1 reader is more powerful than a visit.

I believe in one thing and that is constant rising in everything showing that your blog is on the right track.

It can be comments, earning, subscriber and other relevant terms.

I’d like to get more comments. I’ve been blogging for nearly two years now for baby boomer consumers. I’ll go back and read Darren’s posts on how to increase your comments.

I never took blogging seriously…until I became a freelance writer, so I guess I blogged seriously out of necessity. But really, I’m quite thankful I came across this blog.

I think Siraj was right – niche should be on top of the list. It’s the definition of your whole blog, anyway. And from there, you’d be bringing more people to visit, to comment, to subscribe and to link. I mean, that’s what I’m trying to do…hopefully, one day, everything would pay off.

Measuring blogging success depends, but I think the best success for me is when I read comments from readers. At least I know I have readers who are interested with my posts. :)

I think it would be interesting to see how long you have been blogging and how many post views you get in a day. Maybe some of your readers will be interested in posting this information.

Thanks

Niche should be picked up first, it is your area of expertise or topic you would blog about.

I was involved for my mom’s food blog since 2006, which is in Bangla Community blog. Comments gives the feeling that people are reading or liking what I was writing. On those community blog there was nothing we could do for SEO. But over the time my mom’s kept her self running her blog, maintaining her readers well, answering their comments and suggestions for cooking. Specially her recipes, and cooking advise established her that the contents and recipes are unique and authentic. Sometimes she could not right her blog in regular basis.

So niche and passion is the first thing for a blogging success. Your reader is your asset for the blog. Keep your blog running with a new and unique post in regular basis, and of course do your blog SEO done. For my VoIP blog SEO has started working, without any advertisement of the blog it has been attracting 200+ pageviews everyday. Not bad for a 5 months old blog.

Hi:

Thank you for the article!

I do agree with the article completely. All of those are signs of that a blog might going the right direction. However, I was more interested in answering the question posted at the very end of the article: “How do you define blogging success?”

I am a fairly new to blogging and to start out, I have been reading the 279 Days to Overnight Success by Chris Guillebeau (http://chrisguillebeau.com/3×5/overnight-success/) to get me started. What was really interesting is that he doesn’t claim to want to get the best indicators that show how great his blog is. On the contrary, he seems to be only doing just enough to support this own lifestyle.

And that is how I would define blogging success: does it support the goals that you want to achieve? That implies that you must have some sort of goal set, otherwise you will not be able to know if you are successful or not. So, even tho all of the indicators mentioned in the article can help you indicate if you are the right track, by no means will they tell you WHEN you are successful.

Best,
Tomas

Many thanks, David and Sean. I wish I were more advanced so I could say something better than ‘great post’. But I’m afraid that’ll have to do till I break my own triple digits. Best regards until then, P. :)
