But most people will never leave a comment on a blog. So you need quite a bit of a regular readership to start to develop active and busy comments.
So in the end, it all goes hand in hand. If you're wanting to build a community, likely comments are important. If all you care is whether someone clicks on a google adsense ad, then perhaps really you just want big traffic numbers.
I personally would rather have a very small number and a real community.
My two cents. |
Hi Melody,
Thanks for that input. It's more clearer for me now, at least, how you see it and then, how I can see things, later on. You did get the point of my question and I'm sorry that construction of the follow-up question was a mess. But nonetheless, thank you once again, I really appreciate it.
Can I add other thought? So is this mean that the number of comments is not only your gauge to see that a website has high traffic or not?
