The great commenting experiment: Early observations

Day three of the great commenting experiment and we have seen a number of visits so far. Ok so far that number is quite small, and it’s already obvious that if I were to rely on just commenting on big blogs in order to get traffic, I will never be more than a tiny minnow in a very large pond. Luckily for me I am not a pony with just the one trick, and this is just the first experiment of many, I plan to make my mark in the blogosphere.

Interestingly enough I am getting more traffic and better readership from the smaller blogs, with Tyler Cruz providing not only the largest number of visitors so far but also those which stay around the longest. John Chow on the other hand has provided but one single visit and he didn’t even stay long enough for our header image to load. Based on the results so far I will be spending more time hunting for smaller blogs to comment on to see if this is a blogging trend!

I plan on keeping this experiment running for at least a week, I believe some of the poor traffic results so far could be because we have been commenting at the weekend which is traditionally a quieter time for all websites. Also I have yet to make the top commenter spot on any site other than Tyler’s which may also explain why we have received more hits from his bog than others. So for now the plan is to keep commenting, wait for the sun burn on my face to fade and have a nice old drink up to celebrate my flat mate’s birthday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy clogging.
