    I have enjoyed reading your blogs. I have a blog myself. The think I like most about Compendium is that we don’t just care about the look. Compendium is all about winning keywords. We specialize in helping clients win SEO with the keywords that best fit what their company does. You should definitely check it out!

    Hi Jitendra,
    Talking about “Does Chatter Matter?”, well yes it does. I have spent so much time to get my blog rearranged, and neat looking, doing several things to drive traffic to my blog. I have done that so much, that have hardly had the time to post, even though I have several drafts going. LOL! Writer’s Block! I want people to comment, not to just read, or look at my blog. I want them to start talking, no matter what it has to do with. SO, YES it does matter! Conversation is important, not only to the blog itself, but to me for sure. Posts matter, and I don’t have enough yet. You have to give them something to chat about.

    I started my blog for the fun of it, and to gather my thoughts together, never thinking about making money from it. I do have a few affiliates, however, that hardly makes any money, and I really don’t care about that anyways. I just decided to try it. As I said, I just want to have fun doing it in the first place. I really wish I could think of something to write about, that would draw the readers attention, something anyone would like to read about.

    I think I just might write about my own life, since it seems a lot of my friends, or just people I know are very curious about my avatar, which is a picture of me, and I am in a hospital bed. Well I am there 24 hours a day….and some wonder why. I guess I will answer their questions in a post. Sometimes I am just too much pain to do anything. Anyways, to me, drawing some chatters is the “most significant variable”. I started with my main interest, which is poetry…creative writing. That didn’t draw hardly anyone. Many people don’t want to read poetry…found that out quickly.

    As Kristen said, “Compendium is all about winning keywords.” Yes, what a mouth full, and so very true. That is what I need, better keywords.

    Thanks for listening to me rambling! :)
