Good to hear about your experience within your own community and I must admit I am glad to see a fellow blogger who took a little longer to find their niche... I am still thinking about different directions to go, changing my mind continuosly, but I am sure that sticking to daily work rythm will eventually set me on the right track. Thank you for the encouraging words! Hi again Owen ;)

I always wonder who struggles with their stats and understanding them and what to do about them. I just read one where they complained their earnings were down, only $1900 for January. While it may be the truth and they may be accustomed to making more, at what point is it just showing off? anyway, I am going to move to a score system myself particularly for posting on other blogs. There is a a community out there. It is not in the general blog world, it is when you discover your niche. After 5 months I finally got into my niche. One regular commenter turned out to be someone I went to college with but didn't know but we were in the same academic bilding all the time at the same time. What is even stranger is that I no longer live in the US and neither does he, I live in France and so does he, and come to find out he is from upstate NY and so am I. To me that is proof that there is a community. He didn't comment on my blog for any of these things but we eventually discovered them after developing a dialog. You will too. <em>Owen's last blog post..<a href='http://francetales.com/2008/02/19/changing-the-address-on-our-carte-grise/' rel="nofollow">Changing the address on our carte grise!</a></em> I hate those posts about stats and thought this was a great one.

I am actually considering to change it into a blog type of website, if I get to work out how to translate a theme I particularly like into spanish ... thanks for stopping by and good luck with your project ;) Hi Chris,

If you break it down, 100 comments in 30 days isn´t really that much if you come to think of it, I used entrecard in the evenings, when it was time to "relax", sitehopping a bit and I would only comment on blogs that looked interesting, and had posts that I could actually comment on, that "spoke" to me, if you know what I mean. Plus, I came across blogs so interesting, I would go back and follow their progress and read through older posts ;) I did enjoy your post, although I am not really into monetizing this blog at the moment, nor am I sure I will in the near future. I started writing this blogs with other goals in mind, to remain on track with my other work and get more motivated in the things I do ;) Thanks for commenting! Hi Alex!

In every respect. First of all, 38 posts. Whoa.. this makes me feel like an inadequate looser. Then the comments on over 100 blogs. This is an issue for me. I have a yellow sticker on my monitor saying comment comment comment, reminding me how important participation is. But, hey, I want my comments to be meaningful, right? and then I want time to write my posts, time to promote my blog....... AAAAAHHH!!!! :shock: Did you enjoy the Getting Paid for Fooling Around article?
