Hey we are all working on more traffic. As far as finding your niche, that may be overrated. I have seen some very general sites get very good traffic.

Well, Rome was not built in a day.

Just continue blogging and in no time at all, you’ll find your site having a high PR and hopefully, high earnings.

James, I have every intention to continue with the poetry, even though they produce the least amount of comments, because even though they don’t come easily, I get a great sense of enjoyment from the end product. Especially in the knowledge that people such as yourself enjoy them.

Congratulations! Getting high PR is not an exact measurement of blog success, for some webmasters, it has always been a myth and will always be. As far as your content gets indexed and appear on search results, there’s always traffic that will come in handy. Blogging being a social tool will always find a way to drive consistent traffic which is more important than PR for as long as you remain true to yourself and your readers and knows how to give back without asking anything in return, I’m sure that (in time) you’ll definitely find true blogging friends and a loyal community to support you.

Hi Ned, thanks. Yeah, I guess backlinking and traffic are two good factors for blogging success. I’m still working on how to get more traffic. And of course, the niche. I still don’t have that direction for my blog.

Sire! Thanks again. You see, I’ve been trying to monitor the progress of my other site, its SERP status, etc. And I am very particular about the dates on which any changes occur. So hadn’t it been for your heads up on the Halloween PR update, I would have been left wondering when the PR change occurred.

I think you should keep on with your poetry. I remember how I envy some classmates back in high school who are good at this kind of play with words. They sort of monopolized the poetry corner of the school paper because not many of us had that skill.

Congratulations, Yes it is a real thrill the first time you get some PR. Keep commenting and building links and you will be up to 2,3 or 4 in no time. (I found you from you comment on Sire’s blog)
