don't you love me anymore?!??!?!?

Alright bloggies, the last two months I have been noticing a sad depressing decline in my PVs and comments.  Now I am not complaining at you my lovely readers, as I know life is busy, I am more just whining about the no NEW readers plus decline... *tears*.  Is it sad that I feel unpopular? 

Anyways instead of sit here bitching about it I thought to myself perhaps it is because of my lack of involvement this last little while.  I know I haven't been able to get around to everyone's blogs the way I used to be able to, but I just haven't the time.  You know, the same reason you can't, so how can I blame you?  I CAN'T that's the worst part.  But I have to find some more followers and I am determined to get to 250 by the middle of march.  Does that sound reasonable??!  I think it is manageable, but I have no time to breathe to try and persue this so i'm begging you for your help.  Spread the word, flock them to me!!! I will be ever in debt to you!

In return?  I shall try to be more entertaining, perhaps even more spur of the moment even.  I again apologize for my lack of participation and beg forgiveness on my blogging follies.  With hand on mouse I pledge to never fall on my bloggie friends needs for comments etc like myself, I will make a point to ENSURE I visit you all AT LEAST twice a week!  IF possible daily! 

All my love to you my bloggies....

Some days are better than others with the comments...that's for sure! I've starting blocking off one night of the week where I just read and comment, because otherwise I get too busy and fall behind. It's hard to keep up!

commenting on other blogs does seem to be the key for me as well. And blog hops... if I comment and find new blogs to follow I pick up followers too.

joy & blessings,

I don't comment like I should, sometimes I read it close it and then move on to the next read. I will be better about commenting! You are like a super commenter on my blog so...I apologize!

Yea...commenting is always a prob. But Blogland seems to have slowed this month. I had a post dealing with just this myself like a week or so ago. Then I did a De-Lurking day post and I got 18 comments within hours!

Blogland is odd that way. Still love your blog!

Aww, I just haven't been able to look at my own blog or anyone else's as a matter of fact.

But your blog is amazing! You have amazing fellow bloggies to remind you of that ^_^

@everyone I love you guys xoxoxo happy to know i'm not he only one who's noticed a slow down, not to mention i'm happy i'm not the only that falls behind. So many things going on, no matter what i do something suffers. Whether it be my school work, my job, my blog, or my workout regime... *sigh*

I know I have been a bad bloggy friend and haven't been getting around like I used too.

Ashley said...

I know, I'm struggling with getting around to everyone's blogs and am reading in my reader and not jumping through to comment. I'm still reading and supporting girl!

You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours! Just please be gentle cause it's in a lot of pain from the move :P

I think that's a reasonable goal - and like somebody else mentioned some days are just better than others for comments. I really have noticed that the more blogs I visit and comment on, the more comments & visitors I get in return. I'm working today on making a bookmarks list (like you said!) of certain blogs I'm going to make an effort to visit every day or at least every other day. I'm also working on trying to manage my time better...which is always an on-going process! haha :)

Hey babe. Happy to have you as a buddy:) Glad I finally found the blog behind the name. Took long enough. Must have been fate, but I digress.

My dear, I say this to my husband all of the time. 'I put in all this time to write and not many people write back through comments', and he assures me, (because I'm sensitive like that), that is isn't because people aren't reading, it's just that most DON'T happen to leave comments. I don't know if it's lack of time on their part, or they don't know how to, or just move on quickly from blog to blog, not giving that much thought..Who knows?

Things bounce back and forth with comments, alexa rankings, Twitter followers at times. Everything changes a bit, and when it's not in our favor, we get sad. I hear ya girl.

I don't get much time to read many blogs, because I'm so into the writing aspect, but I realize now, that as much as I love to write, and A LOT, I gotto get involved more in the social aspect, which I have zero time for, if all I do is write, so I'm working on it. I wish I found blogging before my twins were born. MUCH more time on my hands:)

Trust me, the people are there, and they DO care. It isn't you a all. Hang in there. You got a friend in me.

xoxo Shelly

AJ said...

kristen said...

I think everyone has this problem. It's hard to balance it all in the blogworld! :)

I know how you are feeling. I havent had the time to catch up on my blog reading and commenting like I normally do and it sucks! I actually enjoy blog reading, but I have been a bad bloggy friend.

Let's encourage and remind each other, yes?

You know what? I think my dashboard is slowly breaking down! I have not been getting updates for a lot of the people I follow pretty religiously. I was thinking, "Is no one blogging except for all these giveaway and coupon queens?" I don't know if it is because I am following a bunch of people now (not THAT many people though.) Anyway, I am going to clean it out a bit and see what happens. I certainly to not want to neglect you. I like talking to you too much!

PS> I am still working on my feature for you!

Eschelle said...

@aubrieAnne I know what you mean!!! I had the same thing happen!!! I am not seeing my regulars and I'm sad i'm just going to have to make a point of finding them. My feed looks the exact same... :(
