Comments on: The business case for good blogger relations with high-traffic bloggers http://hummingbird604.com/2008/07/26/the-business-case-for-good-blogger-relations-with-high-traffic-bloggers/ The personal blog of a Vancouver-based educator in environmental issues Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:53:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Stephen Rees http://hummingbird604.com/2008/07/26/the-business-case-for-good-blogger-relations-with-high-traffic-bloggers/comment-page-1/#comment-1672 Stephen Rees Sat, 26 Jul 2008 22:29:03 +0000 http://hummingbird604.wordpress.com/?p=1333#comment-1672 I am not sure I believe a lot of the stats. After all how many of those "page views" are actual real people, and now many various kinds of bots? If you consider that the number of real comments to spam ratio then I suspect the numbers don't really mean lots of individuals. I must admit I do report my stats - especially when they were growing - but take two weeks off for a vacation, and not spend much time looking for internet connections while you are way - and watch those numbers fall. Far more important to me is getting the message out. Because the blog does get noticed. And the mainstream media are so caught up in neo-conservativism and consumerism, alternative views need to be "narrowcast". I am not sure I believe a lot of the stats.

She's funny and honest and has been blogging for some time. I am an admirer of hers. She has blogged openly about her struggles with depression, including a brief hospitalization due to postpartum depression after the birth of her baby. With the stigma surrounding mental healthy issues, I appreciate her honesty and humor.
