Perhaps because I don’t take prisoners at the comments section, or maybe because people prefer to thank me more directly or specifically while remaining more anonymous, I often get emails instead of comments.
It would appear the blog is proving useful to more people than I expected, and they are learning to use the search me function on the blog, as I see much older articles being brought up. Honestly that does make me feel good, not in the usual egomaniacal way of “oh I am so smart”, but because it genuinely gladdens my heart when someone’s life gets improved somehow, and honestly, I don’t cate at all about taking the credit for it, and my usual response to the thank yous is that they did the work and any glory belongs to them and God. At best,I was just an incidental tool.
The more important point is that I noticed that the ratio of email to comments is roughly the same or a bit more on the emails, but the ratio of spam email is practically zero, and given the readership of the blog, which is relatively small, perhaps if it had wider exposure it would help more people.
I don’t do any SEO or any of that stuff, so any increase in traffic is purely organic by people forwarding a link or word of mouth etc. in short, I know my readership is of real people because I do not bother at all with all the usual “marketing” stuff beyond altering people I have a new post up on Gab and SG when I recall. And on telegram. But I think I may even phase that out like I did for the last two days.
My intent is to have my readers come here daily because they choose to and enjoy it and/or find it useful, entertaining or stimulating. So, it’s up to you guys and girls, and I hope you share the blog with your friends if you find it worthwhile.
