I recently called time on my blog and drew a line in the sand with my content. After trying for nearly a year to write about anything and everything, I decided I really need a niche. Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone recently turned their 'failing' blog around? I'm writing a post series about the process, and welcome any input.

If you want to be more focused, though, then absolutely choose one thing, especially if you want to be recognized for it and Google Searched, etc. But, I literally write about a load of things, with no certain restrictions and I still get the same amount (if not more) traffic.

Even after all this sage advice, I'm still feeling the itch to write about things not in my blog's scope. Not all the time, just every once in awhile. Do people ever do a "I know this is off-topic, but..." post in niche blogs, or is that generally not done, unheard of & frowned upon?
I guess one solution if this IS frowned upon is to find someone who blogged about what you want to talk about, and add your comment. :)

I'm about to ask a question laden with insecurity: what's "normal" traffic for a blog going into its fourth month? I range from 5 to 80 UV a day, depending on whether or not I posted something that day, and most of them are friends. I'm not discouraged, but I am trying to put a "publicity strategy" in place for the next three months and feel like I need a goal or gauge to judge my progress.

You've got a long time to go before readership matters. Get unique, meaningful content up and get busy in relevant social networks and the readership will come to you.

depends what you write about. Write about the 3 letter S word and views will soar (esp, if you have pics as well), :)

Anyone know how to put a counter up on your blog on Blogspot so that you can track how many hits you are getting?
And if you wanna check out my blog (mostly on sports) you can see it here:

I'd like to start a group of bloggers who stumble each other's blog posts. I've noticed a big bump in my blog traffic when my posts have been stumbled a few times in the past
I'd like to promote one post a week of mine in this way and would be happy to stumble other people's posts in return. I wonder if any other bloggers want to try it and what's the best way to get started? I've made a nework here called Brazen Bloggers so if anyone wants to try this please join and let me know:)
