SUMMARY: No summary available
I started my weblog Halley’s Comment in January 2002 with a monthly average of about 100 page views. In January 2003 I was up to 10,000 and by August of 2003 over 50,000/month (although my average is closer to 40,000 now). I built my traffic the old fashioned way, generously promoting other webloggers by linking to them, writing stuff that made people laugh and trying hard to put up fresh and unique content on a daily basis. I also try to listen to my very vocal email audience who tell me, within seconds of a posting, what they like and what they don’t like. Weblogging is the most interactive medium I’ve ever worked in, being second only to stand-up comedy. So far the weblog audience has not figured out how to throw rotten virtual tomatoes at a bad post, but I’m sure they will.
