I've done my best to post some blogs that have varied purposes. Here are some of the titles and the number of clicks:
"So You Want to Get Out of a Contract, Do You?" 48
"The Beverly Wilshire Isn't the Paris Hilton" 61
"The Money Doctor Meets the Real Estate Man" 71
"American Home Shield & the Home Warranty Business" 80
"Pourquoi est-ce que je n'ai jamais de vos nouvelles? 105
"Tattoos for Ladies....The Answer" (10-04-07) 32,540
I think I understand what you are saying. I posted something on what a family needs for a beach trip, and it has about 10 times the number of clicks of my real estate nuts and bolts posts. It is crazy, but makes it evident that people don't necessary like to read informative posts all the time, they like to be entertained.

Keep up the good work.. Do not worry about numbers remember it is not the quantity but quaility of the clicks you get.

Real Estate is out right now. Tattoos for women is always in I guess.
don't post about the tattoos though, post about real estate.
Bill- I just started a group on hunting and fishing. I did this because this is something that is important to me. I list a good bit about our industry But, when the day is done there is life after work. I think that the majority of the people that use this site have a healty balance between both. Keep giving good advice. Your knowledge in the industry is priceless. Thanks for contributing.

Well, thanks to you all for your ideas. I look at some of the things our fellow bloggers have written, and they have a zillion hits and a half a zillion comments.
I think I'm going to concentrate of social issues. Eyebrow piercings will be next, followed by men with tear drop tatts under the eyes (something to do with having been in prison.) Then how about a discussion of those goofy looking plastic sandal affairs everyone's wearing now (including my Patty)?
I'm on a roll. If you've got any more subjects of this nature you'd like to have diatribed, let me know.
Bill...how about,all the new mini dog breeds they are coming up with. Like a schnoodle, a puggle etc!
Thay are countless and cute! An unbeatable combo.
Oh, great idea Joan. I'll bet I can alienate all of the pet owners in less than 35 words.
Ahh, Bill. You always give me the best laughs. Thanks for this funny start to my busy day.
I just never know what I will find when I visit your blog.....

Jo, thanks for liking my insanities. And Aubrey, you are absolutely on target. I don't know what Active Rain blog posting has brought the largest number of readers, but I would think this one on tattoos is up there.
We're now over 31,000! (and climbing).
And each one of those people's presidential vote carries the same weight as yours. Only in America.
Well, it's time for the truth. Roberta is sort of on to me. I don't care one way or the other if women, men, dogs or gorillas tattoo themselves. Since I'm not an embalmer and don't ever plan to be, I'm not going to have to try to cover up those wrinkly tattoos when I'm preparing the recently departed for their funeral "viewing."
I was primarily interested in seeing if blogging something outrageous would bring more hits and comments than something written about real estate.
Roberta, I have my answer. We're at just a bit shy of 32,000 hits on the tattoo blog, and I think the most who have ever looked at one of my other 60 or so blogs is maybe 200.
Well, David when I lived down your way I heard one rumor after another that people in Katy have grand senses of humor.
I don't know if your neighbors do or not, but you surely do! Thanks for adding your two bits on this otherwise silly blog I wrote.
Bill
We all know if you want a lot of hits just write about sex! That's the best bate there is. :)
