But now I realise that the quest for ever-improving stats is actually quite a hollow, unsatisfying one. Far better to make your blog individual and publish only what you want to, not what will improve your "hits". I've made a point of not publishing my stats. Only one good friend has any idea how popular my blog is in terms of stats, and I intend to keep the stats secret. <br /><br />"Tim The Tum" is a great blog and the fact that it's not top of the lists is one of its charms, in a way. But for what it's worth your "hits" will go up eventually anyway.<br /><br />RodRod of "The Canery" bloghttp://thecanery.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159052784426225070.post-67952450639105810072012-02-20T10:34:35.134-08:002012-02-20T10:34:35.134-08:00Ha!

Grow thicker skin, I have never been nominated in over 5 years or Chrossed & don't expect to even though there are others who promote pay sites that do... just one of those things, I guess *sigh*<br /><br />Still, I have a sizeable & loyal readership and they are going to be treated to Ceiling Cat again - I just hope my blog conveys my love of the subject, I think it does... and to be honest? That's all that matters to me :)Chiefhttp://spankingblogg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159052784426225070.post-44840958969773730692012-02-17T16:58:29.397-08:002012-02-17T16:58:29.397-08:00Thank you al for your comments; I don't often ...Thank you al for your comments; I don't often get three on one post, and it has to be this pretty crappy one. Ah well.<br /><br />OBB - no need to explain but thanks anyway (although I think that less than 10% of my posts are pay site reviews)<br /><br />Hermione - thanks for the kind words, and I'd love to interview you. I'll be in touch in a bit about that, if it's okay.<br /><br />Bonnie - I agree entirely with your sentiments, or at least I do for about 25 days a month, but the other bit I sometimes get disheartened, especially when I'm low otherwise. Realistically I've had a good month, page view wise. Each time I've been Chrossed I've hung onto a few more readers; I have some more good stuff coming.<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />TimTim the Tumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375341377165151912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159052784426225070.post-25272356445191760642012-02-17T16:23:00.587-08:002012-02-17T16:23:00.587-08:00Hi Tim,
Two years ago, my blog was nominated for ...Hi Tim,<br /><br />Two years ago, my blog was nominated for Blog of the Year at the Spanking Spot. Pretty cool, huh? Well, I finished next to last in the voting, and that was only because I encouraged my readers to participate (a tacky move, I acknowledge, but I really didn't want to be dead last in a field of ten). Last year, I wasn't even nominated.<br /><br />So, yes, there is a popularity aspect to what we do and few of us are totally immune. However, I write for my readers. I cannot please everyone and it's futile to try. I'm delighted when people like what I post and I try to select content that will be appealing to my regulars. But I choose not obsess about numbers or rankings. An audience is attracted one person at a time and that's the way I think about them.<br /><br />So, in short, I wouldn't expend too much energy on this question. I think you're on the right course.<br /><br />With warm regards,<br />BonnieBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061952016296339760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159052784426225070.post-33660084326154378562012-02-17T11:20:52.474-08:002012-02-17T11:20:52.474-08:00Tim,
Don't be disheartened. I think your blog...Tim,<br /><br />Don't be disheartened. I think your blog ROCKS! When BotM first started on the SBN, there was no voting, and blogs that weren't even part of the network were given the honour. I am a member but never joined the Forum, so I can't vote and didn't even know about it. I wouldn't be surprised if there were others who don't visit the forum. There just aren't enough hours in the day to visit every spanking blog, forum or list.<br /><br />I drop by here regularly, and I'm looking forward to reading your interviews. If you like, I'll volunteer to be an interviewee.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />HermioneHermionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395671806340391253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159052784426225070.post-6961739273114788462012-02-17T04:47:14.156-08:002012-02-17T04:47:14.156-08:00Your Blog is new to us.

Since you review pro sites and we have no interest in pro sites, you did not get our vote.<br /><br />Especially like the amateur picture on the masthead. We like our spankings to be fun.<br /><br />PS, we don't even like half of what we post a few minutes after posting. The serious posts get little notice, while pictures do.
