No, not all traffic is equal. I will grant you that.

But neither will you get or should you expect 100% participation/conversion on organic traffic.

4% is considered good.

“mike the type is so small I can hardly read your blog.
and the dark background with mint type – not reader friendly.”

Perhaps.

But this is a comment better suited for a EC message.

“hope you decide to become more involved in blogging ”

I’ve been involved in blogging for nigh on 4 years, I’ve just gotten more serious about it lately.

“remember that some of us do actually want to read your blog”

People DO read my blog.

Just saying.

Thanks for the compliment and welcome……You’re right……Not all traffic is equal, but following your logic, Entrecard, with it’s high bounce rate, would fall into that category…..Heavyweight marketers spend a pretty penny on different types of advertising, all in the hopes of getting a 1-2% conversion rate, with 2% being considered high….These marketers do exactly what you suggest I don’t, the difference being they pay large sums of money what I’m able to achieve for free (although not at their level)….Putting money first when it comes to blogging is a mistake and that’s not just my opinion…….I’m curious as to what you would suggest, seeing as you are quick to criticize (which is fine), yet offer no alternative?

I like the greens of the layout. But don’t you think the words are a bit small? They make it a bit hard to read – well, for me anyway.

Just thought you’d like to know.

Your new blog theme is nice! I’m visiting this site for the first time, so haven’t had a chance to see your original theme.

Anyway, I’d recommend against AutoSurf programs – its a waste of time. The numbers don’t matter. Why would you want to have a thousand visitors a day that comes here for the sake of clocking 1 visit?

What you want are visitors that come here because they want to, or at least, people who come and click your ads, or buy some stuff.

Not all traffic is equal.

Cheers,
KA

I think I understand now. So many things I have yet to learn. I like the forum idea. Will wait to hear more.
