You raise a good point, though about understanding how the waves ebb and flow. I noticed this morning after the roundup went up that I had a boost in followers … That tells me I definitely need to spend some time with stronger headlines, particular if I’m going to use them to feed Twitter and Facebook.

Traffic will take care of itself to some extent over time. But to me it’s worth the effort to try experiments or to do simple things like writing stronger headlines to garner more visits from people looking for what I offer. And if I found out that sending out links on Twitter didn’t get me any traffic… or if I found that doing it at certain times makes a difference… I find that valuable.

Since I blog to be visible, I’m always thinking to some extent how to increase that visibility. That might not be your goal, and certainly you reach many already, so whatever you’re doing is working. I happen to be geeky and LOVE this stuff, so it’s fun for me to see what does what. Kinda like teaching a child to read, though, there isn’t just one method that works for everyone!
