Hi Greg, nice to have you around. I understand that your participating on my blog is purely a selfless action. I am not trying to pay you back in anyway. However, I believe that friends must have at least one thing they are mutually interested in. Well, I am enjoying the volcanoes series on your blog. Cheers.

Hi Naija,
I post comments in your blog simply because I like what you are doing and support you and want to contribute. You don’t have to post in my blog just because I am posting here.
I hope we can still be friends

Thanks Greg, that is a pretty nice idea. I will work on it.

It is nice having you around again. I really feel guilty that I am unable to reciprocate. Your blog is lovely, but I will be doing you a disservice if I post in “Nice Post” “Great Post”

Since I can’t relate with the topic of the posts, I decided to just enjoy the view If you have another blog, do let me know, I will love to be your friend.

In the last paragraphs you underlined some key phrases. At first I thought they were links to additional posts about these topics in more detail. Maybe it is a good idea for you to do so.Greg Braves last blog post..Whales around Wellington

Please feel free to share my blog and link to it as much as is possible. That would be very appreciated as I want to spread the message of my blog all throughout the continent and the African diaspora.

Pal, that is quite a handful of tips you drop there. I agree with all the point. I have started implement point (a) and (c). I will work on getting (b) installed. No promise on (d). That is hard-work that I dodge from. But I agree with you. Those series give value like single posts can’t. I will buckle up and start writing some.

I am thinking on how I can reciprocate your love. Maybe I will introduce your blog to some of the forums that I patronize Mostly Nigerians, who love COW meat.

Thanks for touching on this incredibly important topic. As far as practical little tips and techniques that helped increase my page views and reduce my bounce rate:
a) Targeted traffic: Make sure the key words you use and the communication channels that you build are to people who will find value in your site. My site is dedicated to African migrants and as powerful as Stumble is for directing traffic I can’t expect high page views or a low bounce rate because it’s not targeted. On the other hand, if I get my traffic via African blogs and forums, my bounce rate is very low. Most powerful technique I have discovered for lowering bounce rate.
b) Related Posts Plugin: Do a Google search for this great plugin. This is what took my pageviews from one to 2 within a week. Paste some code somewhere on the page and posts similar to the published one will be pulled up (check it out on my blog, it is the list of links below the box at the end of the article before the comments)
c) Interlinking: If there are any terms in your field that are common, you should write a post defining them so that you can link back to this definition post regularly and increase page views.
d) Writing things in series: We love things in categories and are more likely to read things that are logically linked to one another.
Just a couple of hints on how to increase Pageviews and reduce the bounce rate
