No, this isn’t going to be a post about the sad state of reading in the good ol’ U.S. of A.. What I refer to when I say readership is of our website, the good ol’ Bacon and Tofu Dot Com.
Since the end of last year, we have been trying to make a concerted effort to post more often to our blog. For the most part we have been successful, without many week-or-more breaks without a post. Still, we haven’t seen a huge increase in visitors to our blog.
What gives?
I have several theories on why this might be but I think the biggest reason is the scope of our blog: it is mostly tailored to friends and family who know us and might like to keep tabs on us. Alas, a lot of the people in that demographic either aren’t into it or just don’t get the whole blogging thing. This leaves us with an interesting dilemma. Do we continue to tailor our posts to the few people who we have targeted and are web-savvy enough to get to it, or do we make some changes and try to expand the number of people that might be interested.
While pondering this, I have been commenting on various blogs in hopes of wooing a few of them over to our site. In a few cases, this has worked but for the most part I still think there isn’t enough here to entice them to stick around and sign up for our RSS feed.
For those of you who do have blogs, how close of an eye do you keep on your visitor stats and how does it affect how/when/what you post?
