Blog traffic is easy, so expect instant results. Start a blog, write a post, and stand back. The clouds part, the rain stops. You stand in the warming sunshine, not the blazing warm that melts asphalt in parking lot, but the cuddly warm of wearing strap t-shirts and cargo shorts. Let’s warm it up.
FIXING BLOG THINGS AND COMPLAINING AT THE SAME TIME
December 24, 2022 by
Fixing blog things is part of joining the blogger world circus. I update boomerpdx and lose my subscribers? Twitter takes a dump and I lose my blog traffic? Facebook is unreliable? These are examples of fixing things online AND complaining. Waaaa. But, first . . .
LATE BLOOMERS CROWD THE STAGE
December 4, 2022 by
Who loves late bloomers? Not the people they crowd out. It’s hard enough getting any traction and gains without someone new showing up and taking all of the attention. To make it even worse, they might be Baby Boomers.
BLOG WRITER EXPLAINS TRAFFIC BUMP
September 16, 2022 by
This blog writer never stops to ask, ‘Why bother,’ when it comes to writing anything. Whether I draw one reader in, or four thousand, the work is the same: Find something worth writing about, then do it in a way worth reading. Some days come in hot.
2021 REVIEW: MOST READ POSTS ON BOOMERPDX
December 31, 2021 by
The 2021 review shows 14,941 readers visited here for 19,549 ‘views.’ It’s the second highest number of visitors after a decade of writing on BoomerPDX. While big-time bloggers see these numbers as a good afternoon of traffic instead of a year, I’m still tickled to reach anyone anywhere. The only disappointment in the 2021 review […]
CHANGING FOCUS WHEN YOU GET WHAT YOU WANTED
April 24, 2021 by
The idea of changing focus comes up when you don’t want what you asked for. All bloggers want more traffic, to reach more markets, to find new readers who stick around. I did. I still do, but with a changing focus. I’m not so crazy about this particular dream come true. But the results? I’m […]

BLOG READERS, BOTS, AND WRITERS
July 10, 2019 by
Google analytics on blog readers is either the biggest tattletale in history, or an effective research tool. It shows and tells where blog readers like you find boomerpdx. Apparently I’m a big hit in Chicago, at least that’s what the bots say. Bot? What else hits a blogger page fifty times for an average of […]
CALIFORNIA BOT FITNESS, OREGON STYLE
April 9, 2019 by
Do you know the feeling of new readers replacing bots after posting on fitness? Or new bots replacing old bots? California bots almost feel like a step in the right direction. But they’re not.
BLOG TRAFFIC: CLICK THROUGH READER CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION
June 25, 2018 by
Does blog traffic show up unexpected? What makes readers stay and look around once they do find you on accident? First, it’s not an accident. At least blog traffic shouldn’t be accidental. That’s why we buy and install Genesis framework on a wordpress platform with a News theme from Studio Press. […]
