Thanks for the article. May I make a suggestion? I strongly suggest you get a better graphic. The one you use is misleading - the numbers do not need to add to 100. Better: http://www.1000ventures.com/design_elements/selfmade/80-20_principle_6x4.png . Cheers!

Thanks Jonathan, this is a very interesting perspective. I have just started blogging and this is helpful to understand how to best center my efforts.

Interesting concept. And the more I read it, the more it makes sense.
I have visited your site a few times now, and stumbled upon this very article for the 3rd time now…before deciding to make a comment. Maybe stage fright…or maybe it was that 20%? In any case, it’s a very informative. Thanks for sharing it!

Mary Pope-Handy: A good percentage of my visitors came to my site due to an article I wrote about the history of the county in which I live and about a church ghost.
The rest seems to come from an article that I wrote about the Mi Lai Massacre (Vietnam) which got referenced on Wikipedia. About 10% are real estate visitors who types in phases like “Lenders suck, etc.”

Another great blogging theory by Jonathon, I’m beginning to think he may have a philosophy degree tucked away somewhere. I especially like the part about noting which articles are actually bringing in the customers (which should be the root of why we blog for business) and uncoincidentally also get the SEO ‘points’.

This is interesting. If I applied it to my Live in Los Gatos blog, I think all my posts would be on the history of the town and on its haunted spots – since that is what seems to get people very excited. But I’m not positive. Short of doing a “poll daddy” in the margin, how do you KNOW what is making people come back?
