Blogging:Busyness (The Inverse Ratio)
I'm sure that someone else in the blogosphere has already waxed eloquently on this phenomenon, but there seems to be a principle emerging based on this theory:
"The number of posts one puts to his/her blog is inversely proportional to said person's amount of spare time."
In other words, if you don't see a post on someone's blog for a long time, then this means that it is because he is too busy with life to post anything!
Unfortunately, many blog readers feel just the opposite is actually true. That is, if they don't see anything posted for a long time, then that means that the person's life is so incredibly boring that there is absolutely nothing worthwhile for him to post.
This assumption could not be more wrong. For instance, the last post that I put up was on January 1. Almost three months ago! Fortunately, Ellen has taken up the mantle in putting up some posts about Davis and motherhood, which has greatly contributed to our site ranking! Go Davis! I've since then come to the conclusion that if you REALLY want to generate a lot of hits on your website, then you need to start putting up more pictures of babies. Trust me. This is the way to go.
I'm hoping that my Blogging:Busyness ratio will start to balance out a little bit and will allow me to put up some posts of some other neat things that have been happening here in the Philippines over the last few months. Of course, I'm sure that the number of hits will drop off dramatically once I do this...
Perhaps there is a ratio between the number of baby pictures and the number of hits on a website?
