This blog crossed 50,000 total page views last week. For me this is a major milestone. It now has an Indirank of 85, Mozrank of 3.92, and an Alexa rank of 228K. This Indirank puts SJD in the top 500 ranked blogs on Indiblogger. This blog is also listed in the extremely well-curated top 500 directory at Indian Top Blogs, and it is an honor to share that space with some of the biggest achievers from various fields. The only reason that this has been possible is you.
All of this recent growth has been organic as I realized over the last few months that my focus on promoting the blog was sometimes detracting from the quality of communication that I would like to put out. I was a little insecure that it would impact the level of engagement but you have proved me wrong.
For those of you who are not subscribed to this blog and follow it from my updates on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or other platforms, may I invite you to join the Facebook page, where I will not only be sharing updates from all of my blogs, but also relevant food for thought from across the web. With a large number of writers and bloggers in my network, I often feel overwhelmed by invites to like pages on Facebook, so I will not pester you with a like request, but you can join it from the link here.

Some of you may also be interested in the SJD Widget, a small toolbar app that lets you connect with this blog and me easily and quickly. Read more about it in my post - Subho's Little Helper.
Please keep your love and support flowing, since at the end of the day, that is how I know that I am not alone in fighting the demons that we have created with our ignorance, our greed and our thoughtlessness.

ReplyDeleteQuality of content is what keeps readers coming back. Efforts at promotion would help connect with new readers. What, in your experience, has helped you most in attracting new readers?
Trying to put out the best that I can come up with has always been there, Shankari, but it was not until I started networking with others who are trying to do the same thing as me and starting a dialog with them, both on and off their and my blogs, that new readers began to show up. Of course, Indiblogger and Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn also helped.
