What Am I Doing Wrong?
As I mentioned the other day, I'm losing daily visitors faster than Tara Reid loses her clothes. Maybe the 200+ average gave me a false sense of security (and self-worth), but lately, I have been lucky to get 100 hits a day. So, I want to put the question to you, my loyal readers (if any of you are still out there): what am I doing wrong, and how can I rake in the readers? Any help would be appreciated, because, frankly, I'm at a loss.

Look at what you had written when you got the most hits!
ReplyDeleteSK - I wish I remember, but I don't. I know I was getting kickass numbers from a Revolutionary War picture I got from the web, but I don't know why. Maybe I should find a few hot topics, and post pics, but I would rather people come to read what I post, and not because some kid is working on a history project.
ReplyDeleteHey Wyatt.. I've been logging on and off your site this morning to "boost" you hit meter. So actually, only 4 people read your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe posts that get the most hits are the rants I link with sites like 'Stop the ACLU', 'The Political Teen', 'Mudville Gazette', etc...
ReplyDeleteOr write a post that's considered racist even though there's not a racist statement in it. (I wound up dropping those posts tho because of my oh so soft heart even though those posts generated the most hits I've ever gotten)
*shrug*
Wait a sec, you on your worst days get more hits than I do on my best days so you should be schoolin me!
Just take what I'm doing and do the exact opposite- I think I get about 20 hits a day still? Good thing my ego isn't fragile.
ReplyDeleteREAD ME OH GOD PLEASE WON'T SOMEONE READ ME?!
Ahem. Sorry for the outburst. Carry on.
Hey! How the hell did you manage to get the word-verification-thing to say "Ick NJ" to me? That's a trick- insult my hockey team when I'm trying to comment! With computer hacking skills like that you should be #1 for hits.
I got the most hits when I referred to "naked" or "breasts."
ReplyDeleteTry "tits."
Anyway, I read your blog.
I'm happy with 25-30 hits per day...like I would know how to get more than 100. ggrr!
ReplyDeleteMaybe "tits" is the answer. You try first, let me know how that turns out. lol
Can you implement trackbacks on blogger.com? If so, try that. And keep hitting Little Green Footballs -- about once a week for three hours registration is open. The trick once you do get registered there so you can comment is to hit the article before there are 300+ comments so you'll be noticed.
ReplyDeleteWhen people ask to be blogrolled on other blogs, that seems to help. Do you want quality or quantity? ;)
ReplyDeletePost more Tom Selleck photos!
Personally, I like your rants. I like to hear how dysfunctional the Philly leadership is. I wish much better things for its finest and bravest. The cops and the firefighters get screwed. I'm new to reading your blog, and I check it each evening. Perhaps you were getting so many hits because internal affairs thought you were "dangerous." When they realized you weren't, they left you alone. Anyway...I hope you get your promotion. Sounds like you deserve it. AND...I'm glad your head scumbag is retiring. He sounds like an ass.
ReplyDeleteOK Wyatt...let's cut to the chase. You're just too damn nice! Rant like a madman and everybody reads your words....I've been checking other sites:) Some of those people out there are nuts...but by golly they are popular!
ReplyDeleteWho cares... the solution to your dilemma is here:
ReplyDeleteKentucky wins!
Kentucky wins!
Kentucky wins!
Now post that bilboard thingy of you know who!
Maybe you could shoot some hippies and write about it. Or better yet, shoot some hippies who are protesting a Revolutionary War re-enactment!
ReplyDeleteWagon - You suck.
ReplyDeletePeak - Okay, how about "African-American athletes are (on average) faster than Caucasian athletes?" It worked for the Air Force Academy!
Yoshiko - I read you, so shut yer pie hole. The wrod-verification is pretty funny, I wish I knew how it did that. I am, however, seriously rooting for the Preds this year - I have Kariya and Vokoun on my fantasy team.
Miriam - Good advice, and thanks for reading.
Uber - You and Miriam sold me. Tomorrow's post: I show everyone Uber's "tits." Heh.
Prof - It is possible, but my old-ass template isn't connecting to it. It can be done manually, and I tried that, but since I'm an idiot savant (minus the savant) with computers, I screwed it up.
Lin - I tried signign up with blogrolling, and (again) screwed that up. as I always say, I'm a big, dumb guy.
Anon - My previous blog was ALL rants, all the time. No one read. I wanted to try and explode only once or twice a week if I can help it.
SK - Nice? Wow, you really don't know me :)
Peak - I'll get on it a.s.a.p.
Gunny - Do hippies partake in re-enactments, or should I bring the fight to them?
If Uber's boobies don't do it, it's hopeless...
ReplyDelete(word verification update: ctittys)
MY PLAN IS SUCCEEDING!!!
ReplyDeleteBWHAHAHAHA!
Just keep pluggin'.
ReplyDeleteHeck, I've never hit 200 a day!
