Fat Kid Unleashed’s last blog post..Review: TheBigWiki.com

Just today I received an e-mail from someone who has a blog listed in her e-mail. I’ve visited her blog and thought,”cool - she’s got a blog”.

I also wanted to add that we might want to include the specific benefits (of visiting our blog) when we post the URL.

I like your initial observation that only other bloggers were responding to your blog. I am 3 weeks new to the blogging world and am beginning to wonder, as well, if all us bloggers are really just wandering around a giant house of mirrors. I mean, does all the traffic have any meaning if it’s just more bloggers barking at their own image? I, seemingly like you, love writing, and I love ideas but I get a little disheartened when it seems to me that all anyone is doing is parroting each other in an effort to gain visability. I don’t know what I think the solution is. I’m too new to this to really know. I can only agree with your initial statement and say that it is a relief that someone has noticed the same thing. I guess I’m challenging bloggers to answer the question: what does it mean that you have traffic if it’s just a bunch of other people seeking traffic? I guess your advertisers don’t know that. Maybe that’s as far as most bloggers need to think. That seems sad though.

I like your list, it shows some original thought that anyone who is trying to promote something from a grass-roots level could learn from. So thanks, I’m going to stew on this some more, maybe I’ll blog about it;)

For you, I don’t think having other bloggers comment is a bad thing. They could be customers too. Many work at companies, if fact they could be the people you want to meet.
