7 Blog Posts for 77% of Visitors

Link #2. Progress on July Novel Writing Month 2009.

According to Google Analytics, about 70% of the visitors to the Unpublished Guy Blog are new. I like a Title with three 7s, however, so I am going to say that 77% of visitors to my blog are new. They’re my site statistics, I’ll fudge them a little bit if it suits me. For example, you might find it hard to believe, but I get 11 million unique visits each day to my site.

And for the benefit of that majority (8,470,000 unique visitors), I’ve taken the 7 link challenge, which is basically an excuse to post links to blog entries that I have already written. This arrangement is fine for me, because I don’t have to develop any original content. It’s quite a burden—being original—and I’m not really up to the task. If I were, I’d be blogging more frequently with greater ease. But alas, posting a Facebook update is difficult enough.

1. My first post. The Rejected Stories that Egged Me On. Most notably, my flash fiction from the view point of a tapeworm. Editor wondered what I might have been smoking. Might have been cardboard.
2. A post I enjoyed writing the most. July Novel Writing Month. Actually a series of posts on my effort to write a novel in one month, concluding with a post titled, “Hamlet with a Stammer”.
3. A post which had a great discussion. Who Wants to Publish My Fiction. Not sure that the discussion was great, but it was flattering that all these folks thought I could do something to publish their stories and novels.
4. A post on someone else’s blog that I’d wish I’d written. How to Write Suckitudinous Fiction. I tried to get Holly Lisle to link to my blog for examples of Suckitudinous Fiction, but she would not take the link bait.
5. My most helpful post. Fiction Font Selection. I’m not sure that any of my posts are helpful, but I think this one was the least unhelpful. I certainly don’t intend for any of them to be genuinely helpful. Those with a broken sarcasm filter might find otherwise.
6. A post with a title that I’m most proud of. Understand Your Fiction Reader Before You Shoot Them between the Eyes with the Written Word. The ruthless world of book promotion, starting with the inception of the story, according to Mrs. Butterworth.
7. A post that I wish more people had read. Promotion Plan for Fiction Book Capturing the Jerry O Connell Ambrose Bierce Demographic
