Quite Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give A Damn!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger15125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431495460760831577.post-48646354918634640682011-11-14T12:25:11.514-08:002011-11-14T12:25:11.514-08:00I'm pretty sad to hear this! I thought blog ho...I'm pretty sad to hear this! I thought blog hops sounded like a good idea since I'm always looking for funny and witty blogs to read, AND I don't have any people reading my blog that aren't related by blood...I don't even understand what a follower truly is. Is it somebody that just reads your blog? Or is it somebody that has subscribed to your blog or something? If being a follower is something more than just reading a blog consistently, then I don't even know if I have the ability to gain followers on my blog. Maybe I should just stay out of blog hops until I graduate Blogging Preschool.Elenihttp://thebaboo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431495460760831577.post-55880732528070791892011-11-09T09:34:43.918-08:002011-11-09T09:34:43.918-08:00You Darlings are most FAB!!

Most people had zero desire to read anything I wrote. And I didn't want to follow all the coupon sites back. <br /><br />That being said, I may start up again.Grumpy Grateful Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280877945184331361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431495460760831577.post-27603574932795232692011-11-08T21:36:00.961-08:002011-11-08T21:36:00.961-08:00Just know you do have some loyal readers who adore...Just know you do have some loyal readers who adore you no matter your number of followers.Vapid Vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699876620805731017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431495460760831577.post-85098794496044137672011-11-08T21:18:14.151-08:002011-11-08T21:18:14.151-08:00COCM, You took the words right out of my mouth, lu...COCM, You took the words right out of my mouth, luckily I had a full cup to replace them from!!<br /><br />When I first started blogging, I googled and joined and hopped and commented and linked and OH MY GOODNESS, it was EXHAUSTING. For my troubles, I got maybe 5 followers who have never revisited my blog as near as I can tell.<br /><br />I have had better luck with BlogFrog (where I thankfully found you and your very entertaining bloggy self!) than anything else, and even that has had limited results, because most will follow you on there and forget to follow your actual blog.<br /><br />I decided that the most important thing was to say what I want to say and if someone finds it interesting enough to follow, great! If they don't, well that's OK too! I follow quite a few blogs, but most of the original blog hop ones eventually got weeded out.<br /><br />Keep up the good entertainment and thanks for keeping the cup filled!

Thanks for stopping by... xoxo<br /><br />You know Jennifer Darling,<br />I HAVE met some wonderful friends through hops, not very many though... but I guess it's just like the real world we live in day to day. True friends really are hard to come by, so I'm extremely grateful for the Darling friends I have made in the online world, to which YOU are one of them! xoxo<br /><br />My Dear MB MILF,<br />You crack me up Darling and I KNOW I found you through a hop... Blowing kisses my bloggy friend! xoxo<br /><br />Hello my "Raw and Real" Darling,<br />You and hops? lol Yes, I DID see your naughty girl high school antics... lol<br />And look at you now!

I'd rather have low numbers and people who genuinely want to be reading my blog, than high numbers of people who never visit. <br /><br />Plus, we have to ask the question, "Who am I blogging for?" Are we only blogging for other bloggers? Don't we want more of the general public too? Word-of-mouth is the best advertisement of all. I love when someone tells me they found my blog because a friend told them about it!Michael Annhttp://thinkinginmyheadma.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431495460760831577.post-32105168230667634222011-11-07T21:24:38.127-08:002011-11-07T21:24:38.127-08:00I'm so bad with bloghops!!!

Nobody cares about you, they only care about themselves. so let's stick with what we're good at: blogging about ourselves. <br /><br />i followed a bunch, then after awhile I said to myself "Self, I don't enjoy reading 98% of these blogs" ipso facto, I stopped following. It's cleansing really. I only want people following me who are enjoying me. which may be why my numbers are so small. <br /><br />Stick to what you're good at dahling.... writing and being fabulous!The Home C.E.O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16012602775542228561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431495460760831577.post-29299679587402694202011-11-07T14:56:11.561-08:002011-11-07T14:56:11.561-08:00How very true!!
