Wow. I’m glad I read the comment! It’s always interesting to see big bloggers talking to each other in a more casual, non-interview atmosphere. Especially in response to a direct post like this.

I appreciate the fact that you often reply to the comments on your posts. I find it frustrating when the author ignores the comments, especially when the comments contain questions that I would like to get answers to.

I couldn’t agree with you more that useability affects the number of return visits. If I find a blog difficult to use and its content hard to access, I rarely return to it. It’s just too much trouble when there are countless other sites I can be spending my (very limited) time at.

Comment on Bloggers confusion: How Long A Blog Post Should Be by Pieter

I like long informative posts. My argument is that if the reader get something of value he will come back for more. If it is short posts with little info he have to keep on looking and looking without really finding something.

Well, I believe that is a matter of opinion.

As I mentioned before from January 2009 to May 2009 we gained 6,000 new RSS subscribers. That is over 1,000 monthly, and a 40% overall increase.

So many people still like the posts.

Hi Daniel

Well i like the way you think about Technorati and other ranking measure. no one is perfect and you cant simply relay on them to project some ones success.

but as far as technorati is concerned its far batter then Alexa and other programs. while alexa’s algorithm works on browser data, technorati considers blog reaction (inbound links) for assigning ranks,

so if we believes technoratis stats about DBT then you are not getting as much inbound link as you use to get lately, which suggest me that other bloggers are not finding your content link worthy any more.

and about publishing daily, well thats was not my point, my concern is the type of post we use to see on DBT which is not been seen on DBT since long time, all your recent post are more like a filler post that blogger use to maintain the post consistency.

whats your take on that buddy?

Hi Sunil,

No problems, and thanks for updating the post.

Technorati has always been very volatile (as all other rankings), so it does not worry me too much. For instance, a while ago my Alexa Rank went from 12,000 to 100,000 overnight. My traffic was stable though, so the rank meant nothing. After some months the rank went back to 12,000.

As for writer’s block, well the blog still publishes daily posts. I haven’t missed a day in 2 years (over 1,100 posts in the archives). Given that the readership and traffic are still growing every month, I believe the blog is still on the right track.

It is normal for some readers to move on once they feel they have enough knowledge of blogging.

You can’t please everyone, that is a rule.

Thanks again for the feedback though.
