I’ve been going through the wordpress blogs today. Some are incredibly boring and don’t sometimes even make sense. Others are quite good. Most don’t have any comments at all. On any of their posts, and yet they still keep posting! I feel sorry for those. Those that put in so much effort, just to find that no one has discovered them yet.
I remember when I first started (I started because I joined BlogMad, and didn’t have a decent blog), there wasn’t a lot of visitors, and often I’d get discouraged. There are still a couple of my favourite posts from when I started which didn’t get much attention. For those of you who’ve been blogging a while, keep it coming. One day someone like me will find your blog, and leave you your very first comment. For those of you who are so comfortably settled in your blogging clique, make an effort to welcome the new ones. They’re putting in a lot of effort, and there are a couple of promising blogs out there!
Below I’ve made screenshots of five “new” blogs which I found pretty cool. If you have the time, visit them, otherwise you can go and find your own new blogs

Whatever you decide, remember to be kind to the new kids on the blog

The Kinetiq Team was so kind to finally share a few screenshots, for those of us who’ve been so incredibly curious to see what eXlinks looks like, and what its all about…

Sorry for not posting more screenshots in this post, but it slows the loading process down a lot [I know I should edit the pix to load quicker, but right now I'm a bit busy ] Hope you like it anyway

Something that’s been puzzling me for the past while, is who exactly reads my blog. Since I’m with Wordpress, I cannot use Google Analytics to check where all my visitors are from. On my other sites, I’ve setup Google Analytics, and its quite cool to see how small the world actually is. I’ve tried to figure out who would be interested in my blog; here’s my conclusion…

Firstly there’s the googlers - these are people that come across something that was posted either via google, or some other search engine. A lot of times these people don’t stay long, they either find what they were looking for, or they don’t.

Then there are the guys from the trafficking sites, such as BlogMad & 25 Peeps – once again, these will know within the first 8 seconds whether they like your blog or not. Some will stick around, and some will even return, but the majority seem to just browse past in their daily pursuit of credits.

People who you know read your blog. Whether they be friends, or just contacts from the net. These people probably have a blog of their own that you read too.

Lastly there are the snoops. These are the people that you KNOW. Your family, your friends, and even sometimes your co-workers. But you don’t know that they are reading your blog. They’re probably looking for something that you’ve leaked out onto your blog that they don’t know about yet. These people never leave comments, and would never admit to even knowing that you have a blog. I find it quite amusing to think that I’m being spied on… Just wonder if they find what they’re looking for.

If I’m missing a category, please feel free to correct me. Otherwise let me know which of these you are… If you have the guts!
