How do I get almost six hundred visitors a day and only have 2 or 3 comments to show for a day's worth of posts? I am suspecting that like Super Punch or the Daily What, my prolific posting encourages reading and visits but not much comment. I can't remember the last time I commented on those sites and I visit them several times a day when new posts are added.
Perhaps my numbers are skewed by the fact that people visiting my site several times a day when they get a message that I have posted something new. But then I have been told that I am read by many people on Google reader and those hits are not registered. Who knows what my true numbers are. Could just be one lone nut in hut who spends his days visiting then leaving then visiting then leaving then visiting and leaving again that is responsible for 588 of those daily unique visits.
I am not saying all this to suck in a few more comments I am just wondering if everyone experiences this. I might just be writing about topics that don't really inspire anyone to respond to. My two posts with the most comments came when I blasphemed all over the Bible. Hell I even had the Vatican issuing a 'Fatwah' against me for those. (Again? Really? How many is that now? 26? 27? And no one yet has taken me out? - I guess I am no Salman Rushdie) But I would rather not discuss the hot topics like abortion since you really can't make that topic funny and I do try for the humor if it is there.
99% of my comments come from North America. But I am also viewed in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia. Do they just come for the pretty pictures? Where are my silent Israel or New Zealand or Moscow connections? I want to hear your comments to so I can visit you blogs and see what voodoo you do. My blog list is mostly a record of people whose sites I visited once they commented on mine. I liked their stuff because I love the variety of styles and topics that people seem passionate about. Mothers who bitch about the kids they love with a vigor not unlike the vigor I put into my anti-octopus rants. Its all very frustrating.
