My November blog count was 11. And the December blog count was 18. My pageview number increased by 70% between November and December. The total count increased from November to December too. Nov: 435,817 Dec: 610,439 I know past theories about increasing blog counts were: weather (snowed in folks have more free time to read), networking, having your very large family frequently visit your blog,:dance: , link your blogs together to help tell a story (so the reader doesn't have to go digging), write about common topics (food and sleep), write 40 blogs a more (consistent volume seems to help.. just see Mary's Ethiopan blog) Anyone have new theories to add?

Regarding tactics that help numbers. I actually had a tiny dip in numbers several months ago when I posted at exactly 7 AM each morning. I think every-day posting is a big key, but NOT at the same time each day. Devious, devious, I know, but then people keep refreshing to see if you've updated yet....that's my theory anyway Another thing-- have I mentioned this?-- is adding links in posts to previous, related posts that you wrote in the past. MaryPS-- And once again, for the record, I do NOT have my kids click my blog to get me more pageviews! :)

One more idea-- this is just a theory, but i think it may be helpful every few days to provide a 'tease' by mentioning a topic you'lll be covering the next day, or later in the week. That way people will look forward to it, and hopefully click back a time or two to check to see if the topic is up yet.
