If writing is an art, then, blogging is one way of using words to come up with an art. This is because people who are into blogging are the ones who are artistic on their own sense, carefully choosing words that would best describe their feelings, sentiments, wishes, desires, and everything.
Too often, blogging seems like a self-indulgent, running-off-at-the-keyboard sort of thing. Ah yes...it is so therapeutic...at least I thought so at the time...But then later I started thinking it was more self-hypnotic because I actually started to pay more attention to what I was writing ... Realized that my Posts only add a 200 points on my account each time I publish one, but never exceeds the 200 points. Than I made a discovery... The 200 points go up if the comments, on your post, exceeds a certain number of hits. I search further and finally... An AHA MOMENT! "So that's what it's all about".
- It is not ONLY to post, you stupid! It is what you write about that matters!
I see the challenge... But at least I got the answer.
Going further on my research I had another AHA MOMENT! "So that's what it's all about" like. After selecting a topic on "Browse Groups" and surfing over the "Post to Group" my eye got caught by the last 3 vertical column :
- "Post / Poster"
- "Comments"
- "Views".
These 3 columns speak volume and hold the key of your success.
"Post / Poster" represents the power of your post title. Remember? Make it catchy!
"Comments" & "Views". The ratio of these 2 numbers holds the key of the points received on your post. Sliding up and down and calculating the ratio for some I got:
Views/Comments = Ratio
How I got 500 comments on my AR BLOG POST in 3 days.

Ratio represents the responsiveness to your post. The higher Ratio means less responsiveness. What all that means? Your post can be absolutely fantastic but the response to it is not equal. Why?
I had another AHA MOMENT! "So that's what it's all about" like.
I submit to you that if we'll become more involved in communicating with each other WE ALL BENEFIT FROM IT AND GAIN SUCCESS.
