Nice Discussion Kristi,
As per my opinion a real visitors are those who regular visit your blog and share their views about your post, it’s different thing they like or not like your post but their view is important about any post, because discussion is important about any topic..
thanks for such a nice post…

I might be a little bit naughty, I subscribe to the position setting checked but I hide. Each of the comments will automatically get sent an email when I reply to his comments. At first I was a little afraid that visitors do not want to come back but I was wrong, my visitors is increasing every day and may be due to email subscribe and Dofollow title that I created for my blog

For me – in order of importance:
commenters – consistent commenting – especially meaningful – is what makes a blog alive. Having the same people come back again and again; engaging with each other is a huge win.
I have no idea on what strategy to use to be successful here – other than to try write in a way that encourages feedback and always reply?

subscribers, they are great, it’s a sign that there are people out there who are keen to be notified of new content, the more the merrier.
Make it easy to subscribe, campaign every now and again. Make visitors, esp commenters feel valued.

readers – the more readers, the more commenters. Keep content from being too long and boring.

hits – really who cares – 10000 hits in a day without a comments is rediculous – something is wrong. Although the more hits, the more readers, the more comenters.

I find mentioning up and coming posts to be a good way of persuading people to stick around and maybe subscribe. You have to give your readers something the other bloggers aren’t whether it be new views or different angles on common themes.

Kristi, I am following this tips some time ago and found that my readers spent good time on reading my content however few of them leave an impression so I am not worring about commenting any more; he/she who want to leave comment or even read silently are mostly welcomed!

I find all three very important to me. I get frustrated at times with my daily visitors, return visitors, and commenting.

I have been spending alot of time reading, learning, and improving my blog. My blog is definitely a defined niche for the MMORPG game called Aion. There are over a million players in the game, but drawing them to my blog is hard work.

My most recent effort is to gain subscribers. These are the ones that become my return visitors. I recently read that the word SUBSCRIBE means paying money, and may scare people away from doing it. After reading the article I changed it from SUBSCRIBE to Get my blog Ad-free. Of course it may take away revenue, but I think eventually they will be some of your best viral marketers.

I also took off my blogroll to keep people on my site. I made several different widgets to try to lure people to read more of my content. I now have Most Read, Favorites, Videos, etc.

I thrive for comments on my blog. If I post an article, and it gets no response I feel I didn’t do my part to invoke the readers feelings enough to want their voice heard.

I also have been very active within my niche posting comments on their blogs. I have even read that a disagreement comment gets more attention than all the great post comments.

My twittering has also really helped. I try to engage with other twitterers in my niche along with my own personal tweets.

I also added forums. So far this has been the hardest part to market. There are already major popular forums in my niche, and stealing them away is feeling almost impossible. I have my URL in every signature on every forum I visit. I get most of my visitors that way.

I also recently decided to try out Google adwords. I am hoping to see great results, but it is too early to tell right now.

If anyone else has any ideas to generate more traffic to my site please let me know.

Great post. Very informative. Good thing that you explained a little what we need to know about Google Analytics. It is a very powerful tool for us bloggers to be able to analyze the activity in our blogs.

You asked what I find most important? For me…I need to be informative. And I have about three seconds to do it before the reader navigates away from the site.

I’m learning, although it is a slow process. But traffic is increasing and I guess that’s a good sign.

Great advice, I will be putting your advice to use ! It is hard to get people to comment for some reason, although they visit.

I’m an avid reader who becomes tongue tied when it comes to commenting. So many of the posts I read are well written and contain such valuable content that I read them two or even three times and bookmark them for future use. As they are in themselves complete I hesitate to leave a comment like “great post” because it’s lame but the truth is that I don’t always have anything meaningful to add to the discussion. What’s most important to me, unsurprisingly, is that my posts are read. I prefer readers to subscribers and I love getting comments.
