Blogin' in ''06

Does a fancy blog attract attention? or more to the point, does a fancy blog get more hits than any other blog in its class? What is the real reason people read them, or dont in some cases? Why do you read this one? does anyone actually read this one? Well i know of friends and family that read it, but other than that i have no idea. I put a counter in my other blog, and in a couple days had more hits than i ever imagined i could have gotten. What should a blog template be like? Lets figure this out.

First it should most definatly be easy to access, whether it be accessing it itself, or it be links. Everything has to be in plain sight, and easy to read.

Second It should probably have a gimmic, such as mine. Sinister85, i have little sinister looking fairys.

As for attracting people, blogger folks say that if you have interesting content people will find you. I dont find that so at all, and here is why. I searched a few blogs that i found interesting and they didnt have as many hits as i thought they should. If you had to catagorize your blog, what would you put it under? Sometimes i believe its hard to catagorize them, what if you dont write about certain things each time. I mean like what if you write about music one day, bush another, and the end of the world in the next. What catagory could that be classified as? Maybe society? only one problem with that, there is no such catagory.

So how can we actually attract readers? or is that even the important thing. I believe that it is, whether you believe it to be or not. I'm sure when your sitting there writing up your entry, your thinking about someone reading it. As a matter of fact im sure you do, because other wise, why would you be writing it in the first place? My best advice for gathering readers would be to get on a search engine. Or have your friends tell friends, but that usually ends up to be a flop idea.

Just a little something to think about next time you, yourself blog.
