Thanks so much for sharing this. It's excellent information and I appreciate you taking the time to put it out here.

John,

Nice post, there is a difference and we do need to keep that in mind!

Hi John:  I followed your links and really found some very useful information.  Thanks so much for sharing this with us.  Visitors or Readers... very well explained.  Thanks for sharing.  Take care...

Thanks for the tip.  The article has peaked my interest as to how I can get information from visitors as to what they were looking for that they did not find, or what other information would be of value to them.  Anything to help future visitors.

Thank you for sharing Lorelle will be on my must read blog.  Any tips to improve content and engage readers is welcomed.

John, thanks for the links.  It's so important to keep in mind who we're writing for.  I'm writing for my future clients and try to aim my posts at them.  Writing in the Rain is a little different in that I throw social posts in for my buddies. What fun!

Thanks! I watch my stats and I'm still trying to figure out how to utilize them properly.  It had never occurred to me-sadly-that it might be important to know which browsers and such my readers are using!

very good info I have got out of the habit of reading Lorelle and Problogger both. 

I have a hard time with knowing what all the browser info should mean to me.  I've long known I should be paying attention to how everyone sees it but I think she adds a lot of common sense to the discussion, you can't please everyone and the searchers for info that don't become readers is probably not the one I want to be swayed by too much. Another thing to juggle... 

John, I have both loaded in the reader...they both are great sources and thought provoking blogs.

Simon - You're welcome! I always like finding something valuable outside the Rain and bringing it back. Thanks for reading!

Karen - Visitors and readers are definitely two separate animals. Thanks for your comment!

Karen - Lorelle has some great tips in both the guest article and on her blog. Glad you found some that helped. Thanks for commenting!

Ira - Lorelle's suggestions of looking at time spent and the keywords that bring people to your site are key to optimizing your pages. Thanks for reading my blog!

Jennifer - Glad you liked Lorelle's ideas; she's definitely a recommended read. Thanks for your comment!

Hi John, Thanks for bringing other information to this group.  I will be going back to look into it soon...Thanks again!

Thanks for posting this John. I'll check out the posts you mentioned.

It has been a while since I have read Lorelle's blog, thanks for the reminder.
