Reader comment regarding Alpha Inventions; “ Increased numbers(hits), but as I browse my stats, no increase in readership of content. The hits are good for the ego indeed, but after the initial rush of “people see me!” Who is listening??? Which is why many bloggers blog in the first place.”
My response; Possibly your topics of conversation, while they are probably interesting, may be not marketable to a broad mass of people. As I mentioned in a previous post, I would not only look at “hits” but actual visits. I know that WordPress, for example, does not show visits. You need Google Analytics, Icerocket, Sitemeter, or any of a vast array of sites to provide this type of data. If you put Google Analytics on your blog you can find out not only who is listening to you right down to their IP address, New Versus Returning visits (versus just hits), Browser Capabilities, Visitor Loyalty, and more! I have had more back links and been stumbled upon far more since I started implementing the services of Alpha Inventions than I had at any time before, so yes, people ARE LISTENING!

I appreciate your suggestions. Having just been bombarded with hits, which has been a positive experience. Your ideas fill in the substance, like did anyone read the blog and who are these folks.
I agree. I think that most people see the hits, but may not understand the value. Value such as with links or backlinks. Backlinks help with SEO.
