I completely agree about the importance of engagement in a blog, as much as we’re trying to come across as authorities, we also want to come across as people to whom our readers can relate and speak..
I run (among others) a small music and subculture blog, it doesn’t have a huge amount of traffic, and doesn’t exist for business purposes (though growing the way it is, I might turn it towards that) but people keep coming back, keep getting involved simply because of the interaction between myself and them, they ask for advice, or my opinion, etc, and I help as best I can.

Excellent use of internal linking got me here. I recall reading the “remain productive when feeling like giving up” article when it came out, too.

I agree with this reflection of keeping the trust of subscribers first and then transact a business with them. It seems like a friendly negotiation between you.

Yaro – Thanks for another great article. I am actually working through some of your archives, as you may have noticed from my comments.

My main blog has 800+ email feed readers (I call it the email newsletter and write for a non technical audience) and strong growth in pageviews.

But I get very little engagement from my readers. I am worried that I have too many ads for my audience, but it could be they are just people who don’t engage much on blogs because they are non-technical people.

The top 10 traffic generating posts all do well in the SERP, but they are basically resource pages designed to get people to other websites that have the info they are looking for.

You hit the nail on the head. Engagement, is the one idea I’ve been really needing that I’ve been missing lately. My blog is going, but going is what I want. Now I get it. Thanks, Yaro!

Hi Yaro
I have just downloaded your internet business package.I like the way you lay things out and there is a good feel to the overall message.I have read many pieces over the last few years but yours came around just as I have decided to at last go out there and start my own site.My passion is photography and my intention is to create a business out of somthing I love to do.You stated that so simply and it makes so much sense.My site is under-construction at the moment but your advice has made me realise that I can do one step at a time and tweak it as I go along and learn more and more at a pace which I can sustain and which suits me.It would be nice to see my dream come true.I will keep in touch.
Kindest Regards
Joe Lahart

Yaro,

Engagement – easy to discern, hard to achieve… LOL

I conclude – blog is about content, and you have to either have a great topic to engage visitors or have a great writing skills that convert boring topics into a press release-like engagement.

I guess you have those two, Yaro – that what’s separate probloggers to the rest of us – Need to learn a lot out of your blog posts.

Cheers!
