I haven't actually read the thing in a long time - but I do recall that it had over 20k views at some point. <br /><br />And I haven't checked my sales numbers in a few months, but based on the money Amazon sends me, I'm not going to impress anyone.

In fact, I'd probably have a hard time coming up with 10. I like my hot guys fictional. Not that this stops me from taking a look at guys other people consider hot. ;)Jean Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047709505502621618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844784446912062670.post-76489158954336534682014-05-15T12:14:13.682-07:002014-05-15T12:14:13.682-07:00So what you're saying is that I need my blog t...So what you're saying is that I need my blog to grow into other people's blogs like, say, a mushroom. Or mushrooms.<br />My most viewed post is about how to become a werewolf, and it has nowhere near the number of views any of yours have.<br />As for my book sales, I have noticed a decline since the Spinner serialization ended, which actually generated very steady sales. I will probably serialize again.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844784446912062670.post-38398256806850184612014-05-15T11:41:06.972-07:002014-05-15T11:41:06.972-07:00Jean:

How they tell, I don't know, but getting your post linked on a popular site in an organic way is a big deal.<br /><br />PT: <br /><br />Can't go wrong with that.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844784446912062670.post-60886138859944365212014-05-15T08:06:51.301-07:002014-05-15T08:06:51.301-07:00I need to start with the Sexy naming of all my blo...I need to start with the Sexy naming of all my blog posts. That could be entertaining for at least a short while. <br /><br />My most popular posts were one about a Cyborg Weasel (complete with a photo of one I made that seems to be catchy in Google searches), one about my son wanting to buy an $8 pet and a long craft post I did about making book page roses. The book page roses wins by far because it got linked on a friends popular craft blog. It seems the answer to more traffic is to get your post linked on someone else's coattails and ride along for all it's worth....which is nothing for me, because I wasn't selling anything in that post.<br /><br />FWIW, I'm inclined to agree with sweetie on this one, but that might be kind of weird for you.Jean Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047709505502621618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844784446912062670.post-89282819924672746392014-05-15T07:40:39.837-07:002014-05-15T07:40:39.837-07:00Apparently I need to start using hot girls in my p...Apparently I need to start using hot girls in my posts. The most popular post was Superhero Trivia Question #2 back in June of 2012 with 1101 page views. The most popular search phrase is "Sean Connery" and a post referencing him got 846 views. So maybe post pictures of scantily clad Sean Connery.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.com
