34 reasons why readers unsubscribe from your blog
... now, before i jump for virtual-joy with my blog-hits tripled the past month or so, i realized that near-ish-80% of the hit-counts were directed from google-image searches, which actually meant my "regular" readership has literally gone down - and frankly i'd rather have regular readers than hits ... nevertheless, i've found this lil nugget - and thought i'd do a little "assessment" of my own blog ...
