I had been reading the manga: Bakuman , a story which focuses on the 2 manga authors who tries their very best to reach the top of manga world. In that journey, the readers will come to know it’s not all play for the mangaka(refers to manga authors), getting published in a weekly manga magazine is just a start as they need to continuously maintain the reader’s interest to not get booted out.

What does that has to do with blog writing? Both involves grabbing the reader’s attention so as to survive in the manga/blogging world( a blog is officially dead if no one reads it), no more the “I think, therefore I exist”, rather it’s “They think, therefore I exist”.

Looking my 3 year old blog, I realized it hasn’t been too successful(duh). For one thing, my blog don’t attract many visitors it doesn’t have any “specialized content” as those pro-bloggers would say…

Well, I’m no idiot, I do read the stats chart that tell what is the popular posts here:
1) Anime reviews
2) PSP visual novel ports
3) How to download/play YouTube clips

I dropped anime reviews due to the anime *cough* cleansing saga of ‘07 (didn’t want any trouble), I did a more detailed post of porting of VNs to have a steady stream of visitors (didn’t get much more but the occasional 3-4 per blue moon), the third was the actually the one that generated the most traffic in the days(I translated a Japanese tutorial in getting flv to work on windows media player) until the main guy’s webby went down, and the traffic pretty much died with it.

So it’s back to the drawing board again…  Thanks for reading :D
