Good. I am not the only one who thinks about this sort of things

I’m not a giant fan of trying to get thousands of visitors. I understand the idea of wanting to have a popular site, but hasn’t time proven that popularity isn’t everything? (and often leads to downfalls!) I’d much rather have a loyal following of contributing readers than thousands of hits. I don’t even generate income from my blog, so why bother worrying about massive traffic?

first: i like the austrian/swiss red-white-red approach of your homepage

second: very good article. i liked this one most: “…the headlines are proven phrases which spark interest – marketing lingo for the news world. They bring in traffic, traffic leads to advertising, advertising leads to monetary returns…” because you´re just so right.

maybe the first listing-articles that came have been of some interest. but like everything that´s spreading on the web, quality is pretty fast way behind quantity. even the monthly-this-or-that-linklists on psdtuts and other semi-commercial sites are putting more and more efford in presenting large numbers instead of quality. check those links and you know that you´ve read more of the tutorials and articles than the original (paid) poster…

I actually agree with you!
I prefer less posts but with some use than lots of rubbish posts!

I’m a bit late joining the conversations here (only now got a chance to look through my unread feeds), but wanted to say that you spoke what I had in mind these last few months: the blogiverse is turning into a junk food producing machine, or as Adam so eloquently put: “The McDonalds of web content”.

We all know that junk food tastes good, but it’s still a junk food, isn’t it?

It’s interesting, I started my blog recently and in the search for more users was contemplating the use of some sort of list, but in the end it was like selling out. I read them for entertainment every now and then, but creating lists - or any type of posting for that matter - just for the sake of getting people to read, digg, stumble, buy, isn’t worth posting.

I also thought about a minimum posting per week but (inho) that would be falling into a similar trap. If you have a well informed audience who are as busy as you, they’ll understand waiting for some quality content. Naturally, I’d take depth over frequency!

Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated.

@Adam: I love the phrase “The McDonalds of web content.” Forgive me if I use that frequently in the future.
