I finally got tired obsessing over. I mean, so what if I didn't reach the average number of visitors I had than last week? There are other important things to obsess about. :D <em>How to get rid of termites's last blog post..<a href='http://natalie1981.blogspot.com/2008/05/omg-google-is-running-scientology-ads.html' rel="nofollow">OMG!

I know someone who does this and they do make a fair amount of money doing it. That is why if you can write and write in your own voice you will be very successful in the long run, if you are measuring your success but things other than just how muhc money you made. I'd like to make more money too but i am not willing to clog up the look of my blog just to do that. Mine is already crowded as it is. Keep up the honest posts. <em>francetales.com's last blog post..<a href='http://francetales.com/2008/02/26/velo-toulouse-bicycle-rental-program/' rel="nofollow">Velo Toulouse Bicycle Rental Program</a></em> I think some moneymaker bloggers just steal content and ideas from successful blogging sites in hope of getting the same kind of advertising revenue.

I too wanted my blog to be read by the world and was trying to find THE solution to attract more traffic. But then I stopped bothering. I stopped expecting something to happen. And you know what? It happened. All of a sudden people from all over the place seemed to find my blog somehow and were commenting on my posts. So maybe the secret is that you should not expect anything and then be surprised when something happens? :-) <em>Mindful Mimi's last blog post..<a href='http://mindfulmimi.blogspot.com/2008/02/television-is-more-interesting-than.html' rel="nofollow">Television is more interesting than people.
