This is in response to the comment about the vitriolic blog that supposedly gets 100,000 visitors.

Do you ever wonder why some blogs hit it big and others don't? Is it just a case of a blog being better? Or is there a bit of fate and Internet whim involved?

E.g., maybe you are minding your own business and one day, someone with a lot of traffic links to your website. Boom! You get a lot of hits, and then more hits, and then voila, you have a big website.

Meanwhile, I am going to try some of Julie's tips in promoting my new yoga blog, namely, going and posting on other blogs where my URL is linked.

We'll see if that helps!

This isn't a post about why I haven't written anything here for almost three weeks, because I'm sure no one wants to read about the mundane chores and tasks that have been filling my time and sucking the creativity from my mind. I'm not the only blogger who sometimes has nothing to say, or no time to say it. I recently found tratx's Blogging Without Obligation concept during my wanderings through the blogosphere, and it got me thinking about how frequency of posting affects the blogs I read and what I think of them and their writers. I know that common knowledge says that to succeed as a blogger (particularly a for-profit blogger), you need to post regularly, preferably daily. I think there is some truth in this - I'm much more likely to go look at any given site (and by extension click through on its ads and affiliate or purchase links) if I know there is new and interesting content there.
