Hi! I only have 10 secs so I will be quick. Love your tips. I think I have them covered. Thank You.

Some excellent points raised here – in my own experience I’ve found that I’m struggling to find what my readers want to begin with – I have a general topic (celebrity gossip in this instance), so just by doing research I’ve concluded that there are 4 or 5 different “types” – no time to go into them, but I’ve found so far that mixing the types does not go well (keep in mind I’m just using google analytics and hittail to get some trend info) – readers respond to a full page of one “type” much better than a mix of 2-3 types.

Peter: 9…8…7…6..5,4,3,2,1 well done :-) you did!

TrashyCeleb: You are doing better than most because you are actually trying to find out what works and what doesn’t. Those two programs are great, I use them myself. It is a matter of getting the data, analyzing it and trying to implement slight changes until you are happy, just like you are doing now.

The 10 second rule is absolutely right – at least for new visitors like myself who are unfamiliar with this site.

Plus, you don’t always know the reason for a person’s visit. I’m personally keeping my eye open for blogs on which to advertiser (I mean the paid type), and one of the first things I look for is feed count (yes!), nice layout (yes!) and how to actually advertise here (I probably need to look a bit harder).

Anyway, you got me past the critical 10 seconds :)

@ Paul: speak to Gobala, it’s his blog if you want to advertise. Not sure whether he has open spots.
