"If your traffic sucks, it isn’t because your readers just don’t get your particular brand of genius, it’s that they have determined you aren’t worth reading. Period." — John Cole
I must have missed the enormous spike in traffic from everyone in America checking out my blog and deciding it wasn't for them. You're a sly mother, Invisible Hand!
And here I thought the dip in my readership — which could never be described as "not scant" to begin with — had to do with years of shifting from blogs to social networking as a prime form of online communication. Or that I perpetrated an elaborate April Fool's joke in 2005 that worked too well in getting me dropped from blogrolls. Or that presidents and political climates have changed over the past 8 1/2 years. Or the simple fact that people lose interest both in me and in blogs in general.
Turns out, I'm just not worth reading. Bummer.
Neither is Cole, really.
