With the unwieldiness of the subject matter I deal with, I try to get more "authority links," that is links from other, bigger blogs that deal with the same subject. That way I can get more satisfied traffic, as opposed to the gamble of search engine traffic. I hang in a bit of a niche subject, so it's more of a success if I get 2 satisfied readers instead of 10 random search readers. Naturally, I wouldn't recommend that strategy for all subjects. Of course the goal of RoA is to MAKE the subject matter mainstream, and banish other, useless topics to the hellish abyss that is being "niche."

With the depth of content at ReadorAlive I’m surprised you don’t draw more search engine traffic. Are you using Google Analytics to evaluate your traffic?

The only search engine traffic I get is obscure state department employees doing ego searches on their own names. You’re lucky.
