It’s True – I Only Have One Reader!

8 Comments February 20, 2008 / Posted in MyBlogLog, Widgets, Wordpress

OK so it’s quite possible that I have more than one reader as the little feedburner widget says otherwise, but the MyBlogLog widget seems to be stuck on just one person! Now it may well be no one ever visits One Little Duck or it may well be that widget is stuck and I’m destined to have the same geezer looking back at me….. but please someone visit and make it look there’s more than one reader of One Little Duck – so many a4U back yet so few readers… sob!

I have been wondering of late how to get more readers and the blog has been overhauled a little bit with the various widgets and indicators plus a general tidy up. I had considered paying for a blog design, but it’ll only end up along the current lines and will make no difference to the content anyway.

So how to get more blog readers?

I’ve been looking at some of the other UK affiliate blogs and was surprised by the varying volumes of readership each has. Fraser of course has a unique approach with his podcasts, whilst no one can deny that Paul’s Moose on the Loose blog offers comment different to most (well everyone in fact)!

Helping affiliates or perhaps demonstrating the affiliate dream puts KirstyM on the map, and for me should be one of the favourites for the A4UAward for best blog. In fact I’d now say her blog is as good as last year’s winner Kieron, who’s message is currently lost amongst far too many pictures of white cars ;o)

So what to do? Well the answer is simple – I’m just going to write as I always have done as whilst it’d be nice to have more readers the blog is for me to exercise my views about affiliate marketing in my own way.

Mind you, if I don’t start seeing another MyBlogLog picture or two after this blog, I’m taking down that widget! LOL!

    Hellooooo there – I’m here – but accessing it from a very slooooow Arabic connection- or it could be simply being blown away by the extremely strong wind here :( – and I don’t know how to use any of the widgety things and don’t like photos anyway.
    So that’s 2 of us :)

    I’m reading and you can see my face in the widget – it’s the square grey one with two white dots for eyes and a strange grin. Yes, I was teased at school ;)

    If it’s any consolation, you have 3 readers subscribed in Bloglines (self included.) :)

    Hi Jason
    Thought I’d just say hello so you wouldn’t feel lonely. Funny that I chanced upon your blog when I was investigating voucher codes on davidfiske.com – see you most days back on Loquax. Got you furled now so I can come back and read some more.
