I think I'm game for jumping in the ring. I've been blogging since around 2005, just for fun. My traffic peaked around 2000 a month, until last November when Google yanked one of my main articles from their search results from a bogus DMCA complaint (I freaking hate Adobe..)
Anyway, since then, my traffic's been about half that, maybe 1000 hits a month. I've started posting regularly in the last month or two, and I'm thinking my main problem is lack of feedback from readers. The people that visit seem to enjoy it... but very few comment or reshare. I'm currently linking my posts to Twitter and my facebook author page. I also recently set up my Google Analytics and Adsense accounts, and have started watching those. I'm comfortable with the layout, and I'm getting stuff in place.
I have very eclectic interests, and I cover a lot of areas with my writing. Cycling, computers, writing, music, theology, frugality (of course). I'm thinking I'm going to need to narrow my focus somewhat in order to reach a target audience.
I want to make the blog better, add more content, and basically figure out what my core audience is, so I can tailor content to that. I want to publish more fiction novels as well, so I'm keeping that in mind.
If anybody wants to see what I've got and tell me (honestly) what they think, go to
