It's Not About Marketing

When people sign up for a MyBlogLog account, they usually do it because they found out that it's a good means of traffic. However, that's not why MyBlogLog was made. MyBlogLog wasn't made to bring in traffic from other bloggers (although it's a wonderful bonus), but to connect with your readers and subscribers. Sadly, this isn't how you have been using it.

It's the connection that drives MyBlogLog. Even on the homepage it says, "Discover Who Visits Your Favorite Sites (including your own)." The website isn't meant to market your blog. The website is meant for you to connect with your reader more, and create a greater, more impacting relationship.

You're Too Bent Up On Traffic

You are. You think that more traffic is going to solve your problems when it rarely does. More traffic doesn't necessarily mean more sales. In fact, more traffic can actually decrease your amount of sales.

Too much traffic doesn't let you connect with your readers as much as when you only had about 100 people coming to your blog. You only had to build an impacting relationship with maybe 50 of them in order to get lifelong purchases from these people. Suddenly, you get 1,000,000 people coming to your blog, and your connecting is no longer valid. For some reason, you've stopped connecting with your visitors. You've become too busy trying to make more products, and aren't building your relationship with your readers more. This, in turn, results in less sales.

Connection is the key. It's the key to everyone's blog. That's why I emphasize it so much. Without connection, there are no sales. Without connection, you lose the relationship of your readers, and ultimately, you lose your lifelong sales.
