Fri, 21 Oct 2005 00:10:02 +0000 http://lsr.blogsome.com/2005/08/23/blogging-on-business/#comment-55 [...] Some time ago I weblogged about one item that I still think is crucial for most webloggers out there in the Blogosphere: that is, increasing, or not, your weblog readership to some comfortable levels. And although I have never intended this weblog to pick up on the total number of readers, since that is something that will come by itself at some point (I am not in a hurry), I still found this particular weblog post by Dave Taylor spot on: How Do I Get More Traffic to My Weblog?.

So that is why I decided back then to restrict the possibility of who would be adding comments to my weblog posts, which is why people, first, would need to register and, secondly, every single comment goes into an Awaiting Moderation view where I can rather approve, delete or flag them as spam. That way I can try my very best to avoid situations like the one Aaron may be facing over the next few months and I do seriously hope for the best because otherwise the rest of us webloggers will certainly have to think about it twice how much control our audiences would potentially have in order not to harm the weblogger, the comment webloggers and the readers. I know it is a tough decision and it is probably impacting the total readership from my weblog, but as I have already mentioned earlier on elsewhere, I am not maintaining a weblog over here just to increase my readership. I am actually writing in this weblog hoping that a good bunch of readers would find it interesting. If that is the case then I would have fulfilled its purpose but if not that is also just as fine.
