[Personal] Changes for Environment Philippines

In my experience, the stage my blog is currently in is the hardest for me as an aspiring blogger. After the initial spurt of excitement about Environment Philippines, my friends have stopped visiting my site. I've had zero readers for almost the whole week.

I tried broadcasting my posts in Facebook. Some of my friends clicked the like button on my post, but none of the actually visited it. I've also tried joining other blog networks such as The Blog Farm and Blog Catalog. So far, these haven't brought me any additional readers.

I also just got accepted by Technorati and Entrecard. Hopefully, these new will be able to get me the readers I need to jump-start my blog. Hopefully, it might lead to a loyal readership as well. It's disheartening to write one or more blog posts each day with the fear that not a single person will read what I have to say.


In other news, I just made a huge discovery. I forgot to change my url in Top Blogs Philippines from the one with the ".blogspot" to the one without it. Perhaps that's why it seems nobody has been reading my blog. According to Nuffnang, I have over 136 views this week. That's kind of a lot..

Now, I have to find a way to get my visitors to comment on my posts.

    Thanks Smarla! I actually worked for an SEO company for six months as my first job. I need to brush up on my skills though, so I'll check out the site. :)

    i say keep on keeping! you are providing very useful and informative information. like i said before -- you are the eyes for us folks that are not in the phils.

    show us what we do not see every day. the true environmental state of the motherland. our choking water ways, littered beaches. but also share what you are doing to change that or what other organizations are doing!!

    i appreciate your dedication and efforts!

    slowly but surely you will see the fruits of your labor.
