This is why but if we break the barrier, we can soar real high!

Maybe the rules are a little different with self-hosted domains, we should work harder from now on!

Yes I feel as a wordpress.com subdomain I was getting benefit of domain age (same with blogspot.com) and now new domain may bring down the PR.

@ cbenc12
I found another gang member. Let’s work together towards it.

@ Kitkat
Why not you give me an account for me to guest post? I am serious, really…

@ goldfries
Agreed but with more and more Internet-savvy people, I guess the number of users will improve. I use RSS Reader but I don’t subscribe to every blog I read.

RSS is just a means of getting content to you instead of you to the content.

RSS being measurement of content? Yes, but it could also just mean that you have readers that know how to use RSS.

I get a few hundred visitors per day and my RSS subscribers are like <10. Some how I find Malaysian users are still slow on using RSS. I’ve seen good sites with minimal subscribers.

Yes, I am considering about abandoning my old blogspot blog as I don’t want to write just to earn. I have heard of RSS subscribers are being monitored now.

For me, using a RSS subscribers amount will be a good measurement since it will be more related to contents. Do you think so, goldfries?

Anyway, I still need some experts like you to visit my site.

PR and Alexa rankings shows their own measure of ranking and that’s it, it’s not an absolute measurement.

Some advertisers look at PR, some look at Alexa, others look at both.

While statistically speaking they’re not as good as Analytics or even your server stats, they’re still important for monetization purpose.

If you’re not so much into monetization, just don’t bother (too much) about it.
