For whatever reason you’re here and I want to say thanks. I don’t mean to call my content shit, rather I thought that would be an enticing header that people would read. I guess that’s a form of me using click bait. However that’s how you learn. You learn to share a header that may drive readership.

I’m quietly celebrating 21,000+ views on this blog. Thanks so much. With that here’s what you need to know to do this to your blog. It’s not anything more difficult than using your blog.

Below I hope to share information that leads you to understanding more about my website, why I’m writing more, and what it returns.

Recently I witnessed 49 people visit my website. Because I’m a noob, most of my readers are reading content that I wrote when I landed on a bug or attempting to learn something new. This is often because the content I’m writing is to deal with a work-around of some sort.

the most busy day on the website, 49 readers!

I tend to type silly headers, and then edit them when I’m done, often several times.

This header, similar to others, is eager to drive readership. Also, writing more than usual has generated an interesting change in my website Tyler Garrett.

The average users per day is increasing because I’m writing more than I usually write, now all my content that is optimized to rank is now ranking higher than usual, and I’m also not sharing this content across my core social platforms like twitter or linkedin.

I’ve shared a few links to personal friends, family, and a few times on my personal and private/locked down facebook account. Here I’m seeing little to no interactions, legit 1 of my mates clicks through and doesn’t spend a ton of time here. However it’s the readers finding the tech blogs who are sticking around and for that, thank you.

I really appreciate the people who are reading, sticking around, and most of all connecting with me via social media. This is all you need to do to support my efforts. I appreciate the love here.

The goal of showing this information is to demonstrate it’s important to blog, even if you’re writing about content that may not be super relevant to your core content funnel. The robots don’t care that you’re writing good content or bad content, of course you’re going to get better at writing and this shape on the graph happens, however I want to make it clear that simply writing a little bit of blogs each day is all it takes to drive more traffic. Also, my associated websites are gaining more ranking because of this development.

If you ever wanted to chat about your blogs, or send me a link to your website, feel free to add me on twitter.

blog (a truncation of “weblog“)[1] is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page. Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual,[citation needed] occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic. In the 2010s, “multi-author blogs” (MABs) emerged, featuring the writing of multiple authors and sometimes professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanksadvocacy groups, and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other “microblogging” systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news media. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users who did not have much experience with HTML or computer programming. Previously, a knowledge of such technologies as HTML and File Transfer Protocol had been required to publish content on the Web, and early Web users therefore tended to be hackers and computer enthusiasts. In the 2010s, the majority are interactive Web 2.0 websites, allowing visitors to leave online comments, and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.[2] In that sense, blogging can be seen as a form of social networking service. Indeed, bloggers not only produce content to post on their blogs but also often build social relations with their readers and other bloggers.[3] However, there are high-readership blogs which do not allow comments.

Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject or topic, ranging from philosophyreligion, and arts to sciencepolitics, and sports. Others function as more personal online diaries or online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, digital images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave publicly viewable comments, and interact with other commenters, is an important contribution to the popularity of many blogs. However, blog owners or authors often moderate and filter online comments to remove hate speech or other offensive content. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blogs), photographs (photoblogs), videos (video blogs or “vlogs“), music (MP3 blogs), and audio (podcasts). In education, blogs can be used as instructional resources; these are referred to as edublogsMicroblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

‘Blog’ and ‘blogging’ are now loosely used for content creation and sharing on social media, especially when the content is long-form and one creates and shares content on regular basis. So, one could be maintaining a blog on Facebook or blogging on Instagram.

On February 16, 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence. On February 20, 2014, there were around 172 million Tumblr[4] and 75.8 million WordPress[5] blogs in existence worldwide. According to critics and other bloggers, Blogger is the most popular blogging service used today. However, Blogger does not offer public statistics.[6][7] Technorati lists 1.3 million blogs as of February 22, 2014.[8]
