There is nothing quite as disconcerting as the feeling you’re all alone, in the deep, dark cold of cyberspace. No page views are registered in your access.log, no visitors are commenting on your witty insight.

Well, there is something more disconcerting than just thinking you’re all alone and that’s rock solid proof that you really are alone in cyberspace!

Some people are scared to bare their soul, their inner thoughts and opinions to the world. If they only take a look at Alexa they would know that - really - no one cares what they have to say. The odds of organically growing a large following are pretty slim without some good word-of-mouth or snazzy viral marketing.

Pretty soon you’ll be hearing, “Hey buddy, can you spare a hyperlink back to my blog?” from wannabe bloggers desperate for someone to come and read what they have to say.

Sad isn’t it?

By the way, I don’t suppose you could spare a hyperlink back to my blog could you? You know, just until I get back on my feet?
