Unique posts are definitely good but one aspect that is perhaps more important is the social interaction with other bloggers through social exchange of hyperlinks, commenting and the likes. You never know how much you can gain from that.

Some consider that shameless advertising, but if you want a decent audience, you always have to innovate. I always try to find more ways to improve the blog, make it easy for people to accesss and most of all, let people have fun ^^

hmmm… a pretty detailed analysis and very interesting indeed. As some said, i think humour is another factor that attracts viewers.

adding on, a few tips to get more readers to your site.

- Posting regularly means your post will turn up in google search more often whenever someone search for something.

- Make your post title short and sweet. Easier for google search.

- Post comments on other people’s blogs. This way, people will return the favour and post at your blog as well. this is how a community starts out. ^^;

- Don’t write too long. Come’on face it, unless u are a branded blog, people don’t have the patience to read through a long winded post. So to start off, keep it short and sweet and always include a picture, it catch people’s attention more than words.

I agree, but those who are capable of good humour should try to include it as it definitely makes it more fun to read.

pp > True. Blogging’s a really good way for self expression.

Mark > It’s hard to insert humor properly without it being cheesy, what more good humor.

I think blogs should attempt to insert humour a little better. If it’s done well, then it can make a blog enjoyable to read regardless of the mood you’re in. Personally, the blog I check for updates the most is Derailed by Darry (http://anime.miao.us/) simply because it’s always an entertaining read.

^^; just write whatever you want, follow your heart and drill and nothing else matters. It doesnt matter who reads it, at least you made an effort to write it out.
