Lonely In Blog Land

I was a bit of a late starter in the blogging field, not really grasping the concept. Being a traditional kind of marketer (read "old"), I wondered what all of the fuss was about and couldn't see how it might help me or my business.

David-Carter.com has always received quite good visitor numbers. Maybe, I thought, people were going to the wrong site, looking for a different David Carter. It couldn't be me.

As it turns out, they weren't looking for me. They were looking for the information I have always provided freely, believing that when you offer a helping hand to others, it generally comes back and you get the reward further down the line.

What the blog has done is put me in touch with a few like-minded people. It's not made me any money that I can see.

The surprising thing for me, is the number of visitors.

Looking at my stats for this site for the first time in ages, I was very surprised to see that an incredible 68.2% of visitors bookmark the site.

Stats like that keep me going, as I often wonder whether I'm just rambling on to myself.

Thanks if you bookmarked the site. It made my day today.

I also read your blog. You have no idea how things you take for granted is not known to many. As a result of this blog and a few others, I came to look at the world through keywords. For example, after helping my son with his 11+, I set up a simple site primemaths.co.uk as an online maths revision site.
So, keep it up. You helped me.

You're a great read. I like looking at your mini-sites. You remind me of how easy it is. I have the skills, I just over-think to the point of paralysis.

Great blog David, and I love your unique, interesting and very useful perspective.

I've been reading for months (RSS feed) I'm just not a prolific commenter.

Keep it up!
