So some days it will read 200 some days over 400 and everywhere in between. The best number is actually only foun=d on the feedburner site and thats those that opened up their feed and clicked through to your blog to read.

Congrats on your huge numbers. Twenty thousand unique visitors in two years is a fabulous accomplishment and a true reflection of the quality of your posts.

Your fine attention to detail always inspires me to be a better writer, and I thank you for that.

Because of you, when I’m walking around Thailand I look closer into what is happening around me. I’ve now recorded some doozies that normally would have me shaking my head and not much more. I know, I know, I need to get them on my blog

I have not been a member of the Thai community for long, but I’ve learned a great deal in that time and most of it has been from you.

Thank you for your helpful advice, as well as your kind friendship.

In the long run one blog is always better than 2 and google will love all the extra content.

I need to keep at it – I’ve got the passion and the time, however I need to turn that into some more content.

Thanks for considering adding me to your links. Much appreciated!

Why not incorporate the personal stories into the travel blog? You’ve already spent the time working the travel up and the personal stories could be used to relate to different travel issues.

It definitely takes a little time getting into a niche and being trusted. Just keep plugging away it will come.

I’ve been neglecting my links lately…have a lot to add and you are on the list. Not sure how much it will help but I’ll add you in today…every litle bit helps.

My main blog is aimed at being a travel resource, and I’ve been thinking about starting a new blog with my personal stories as well.

As you mentioned it seems to be a small community of Thailand bloggers, I don’t think I’ve quite made it in the niche yet…but I’m trying

Look forward to your next post. When is your next trip back to LOS?

People interested in Thailand will always find us and when you write for them they’re sure to come back.

A good title will definitely draw in readers but writing them for the search engines is the wrong way to go. SEO is only part of the story. Like I said it’s pretty easy to rank in our niche because it’s hard to write without using the keywords naturally.

And 2. I make what I write in the headline the permalink now. There’s rarely any art to it because the first and only priority is: SEO.

The importance of really nailing down the headline and first sentence finally broke through my lead-lined head. I used to write in draft on Typepad for many many months, but now I write in a text editor. Finish it there, sharpen the first sentence of the piece by rewriting and re-editing. Then I work on a headline and sharpen that. SEOing all the way. I’ve learned that SEOing makes for mostly boring headlines but unfortunately, boring is what gets the Google crawler excited, it seems.

Is this your experience, Talen?

The reason for writing a comment was to congratulate you on a very very fine blog. The passion really comes through.

And let me say I’m most impressed that after two years, you’re getting 150,000 page views a month. Well “the content is the message”, no two ways about it.

Well done!
