It's hard to figure out what exactly we are supposed to do during the time we really show our lurkers how important they are. I was told that there was a way to see how many times your blog was looked at. And sure enough, there is something in the Stats area that shows it. Interesting enough, some of my posts that had the most comments didn't have the most, or even closest to the most, views. For some reason that makes me laugh.

The post that got the most views was "oh my God, what a spanking". That was in April 2012. All you spankos out there, must have viewed that day. I would have.
My viewers are from all over the place. Wow! Gotta love the internet.
And then there are the posts that had the most comments, they also had the most "Anonymous" comments. That is really touching. And the feedback was tremendous.

Most of us bloggers start out as Lurkers. I dabble with having a blog and then shutting it down. I think I had one post up for a couple of days. Then chickened out because I couldn't figure out why anyone would be interested in what I thought. Two bloggers wrote to me after I shut the blog down and asked me and told me that they really liked my first post. All bloggers are important but at the time when I was new, these two bloggers, Stormy and Bonnie, seemed like they were famous and the best and everyone loved them. I felt so special. I soon realized that every blogger is special.
I wonder when I get a comment from "anonymous" if they are actually a lurker. I read the anonymous comments, they can be some of the most insightful and kind comments that I get. Tell me, which kind of my blog posts you like the best.
The loving, the spanking, the pictures, my life, interesting things............?
Alright, so in the spirit of Love Our Lurkers" number nine, this is when I get to thank you all and encourage you to speak out, be brave, and know that I would really love to hear from you. 

Happy LOL Days Blondie! I'm not a lurker but did have to come visit and say 'hey!' I do love your posts. ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings...
Cat

DeleteHappy LOL Day, Blondie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my posts. I love to hear from you

ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my posts. I love to hear from you. Nope not a lurker...

ReplyDeleteHappy LOL day to you too. Thanks for commenting on my posts. I love to hear from you

ReplyDeleteLove,
Scarlet ; )
I have missed you too. Thank you, I really appreciate your thoughts and hopes, I needed all of them during that time (and even some now)
DeleteHope you're having a great day and meet a few new people.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I appreciate it that you comment regularly and make me feel like we are friends.
DeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jz, and I lurk...
;-)
You can lurk all you want. But when I do your challenge, I hope that you comment. Lol. Happy LOL day to you
DeleteHappy LOL Day Blondie ~ I always enjoy reading your posts about you and Ty and your kids as I can so relate to all that. And of course I love your more risque' posts too - they inspire me. I'm so glad that Bonnie and Stormy convinced you to stay - you've got a lot of great friends here. :)
ReplyDeletehugs,
Cali
It seems so long ago that I started blogging but it really wasn't. I still feel anxious sometimes. But knowing that there are friends like you that actually not only read my posts but care enough to comment, well that helps me stay calm.
DeleteHi Blondie! Happy LOL Day(s)! I like gaining perspective and reading about other's experiences in TTWD and life in general. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy LOL day to you too. Our small part of blog land is filled with such great people, kind people, and welcoming people. I am amazed at how much I learn around here too.
DeleteI just like hearing how your life is going. I don't always comment, but I always read!
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean you are a kind of lurker? Some days I have to decide between commenting on posts, replying to my comments, reading every one of my favorite blogs, make a new post, or close my eyes and go back to bed.
DeleteBlonide,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. Hope things have smoothed out.
Meredith
I love that you comment and care. Thanks
DeleteHappy LOL Day, Blondie. I refuse to consider myself a lurker. (Cough) Since I can just call ya. :) Okay, fine, I lurrrrk.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't a lurker, by definition, have to actually like lurk as in stop by and read the post........ Fine just call me and I can describe my sexy posts to you in detail.
DeleteHi Blondie! I'm glad you stuck around! I just like how you tell your story so openly. The ups and downs and how you navigate them together. Sorry I've been too shy to say hi before!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you for commenting. I appreciate your kind words and please if you have anything to say about me or my posts, please feel free to comment. I love your blog name
DeleteI couldn't choose a favorite part of your blogging. I enjoy it all!
ReplyDeleteSome days there is only time to lurk, other days I can comment. I always am happy when I see a new post from you my friend!
Happy LOL day!
Happy LOL day to you too. Thank you so much for being my friend. I, too, sometimes lack the time to do all that I want in blog land. But I am always glad to see you
DeleteI love to shop. And spend money, especially his money. After a day of visiting blogs, I am looking forward to going over to Blondie's shop and picking up a paddle or two. She and her husband, Ty, have several that are gorgeous and for a reasonable price as well.
ReplyDeleteI patted my pocket to make sure my cash was with me, and pulled out my map to find the store. Ahhh... its on Spanking Loop at the corner of Kinky Blvd. Giggling to myself, I wondered if there were paddles hanging from the trees, like early Christmas decorations.
Walking up the path to the door, I frowned when I saw the sign on the door. Written in masculine writing, it said, "Closed temporarily. The Ouch Maker Prototype is being tested. Come back later." Awww, I wasn't going to get to meet the famous Blondie and her paddle making husband.
I took out the card I brought that read, "Happy LOL Day Blondie. Love a Lurker." I tucked it into the door and was about to turn away, when a distinctive sound came to me from somewhere in the building. Giving a silent salute, I turned and walked away.
You didn't break the door down and save me from being used by the Ouch Maker? Thank you so much for your cute comment. I am always in a much better mood when I am not getting spanked, well most spankings that is. Some spankings don't make me yell as much moan. Oh is that too much information? Oops, you can always count on me to say what's on my mind. Lol
DeleteCome back and visit and comment any time. I would love to see you around here
Happy LOL Day Blondie. Don't always comment but always loved reading here.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

DeleteHappy LOL day Blondie, I always enjoy your blog! Thanks for opening up and sharing your journey :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great day!

Thanks Jennelle. I actually posted my LOL post and ran out the door for our little get away. I missed it all. I really enjoy your blog. I always learn something new
DeleteHappy LoL Days, I'm a little late, but wanted to drop by and say hello.
ReplyDeletehugs
DF
Happy LOL day to you too. Speaking of late, well I am finally getting a chance to catch up. Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy your comments
DeleteI enjoy reading your blog. Thank you. Jackie was here.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you were here. Keep stopping by and letting me know what you think of my craziness.
DeleteBlondie,
ReplyDeleteI honestly love that your posts can be all over, ranging from this to that, and I never know what to expect when I see your blog come up. And I still have to answer your email, I just remembered. Getting to that later today!
Thanks Julia. And Happy LOL day to you two too. My blog posts are similar to the way I think. Scattered. I always leave myself notes and then lose the notes or don't remember what the note was about.
DeleteThanks for answering my email and now I will have to figure out what I should do with the first email I sent you about testing out the painful thingy
I don't think I've ever commented, but I always do enjoy your posts. Thank for blogging!
ReplyDeletehugs,
aurora
Happy LOL day to you too. I left you a little note on your blog. Thanks for commenting this time and I look forward to reading your blog now that I know about you and your great blog. By the way, I love the name Aurora, and the whole fairy tale, and I love your pink blog
DeleteHi Blondie,
ReplyDeleteThe thing I like about your blog is that you are just you; through all the ups and downs you are always there. Just keep on being you
Happy LOL day
Thank you very much. I have really appreciated your kind words of encouragement and the insight you share with me. Happy LOL day to you
DeleteHappy LOL day Blondie:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lillyanna. I so appreciate you stopping by and commenting. You are very sweet. And a little secret, I have a tattoo that is very similar to the lily that you use. Just don't tell my mom that I have a tattoo (or more than one)
DeleteI am almost too late to say it, but Happy LOL day Blondie. My first visit but it will not be the last.
ReplyDeleteGeorge
Thank you so much for stopping by. I feel kind of honored when someone actually stops by and comments. Glad that you aren't lurking. And welcome to the craziness of Blondie's blog
DeleteI enjoy all your posts; the funny ones, the sexy ones, the spanking and the lovin'. Please don't stop!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate. I am glad that you like all of my posts because I have no control over my mind and hands when they decide to blog. Well sometimes I can overpower them and hit delete. Just kidding. I just can't seem to stick to one subject. Thank you for stopping by and letting me know what you think
DeleteHappy LOL Day! I enjoy all your posts, but especially the ones about your life.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. It's seems really risky to share things that are so personal. I worry sometimes that someone may recognize me. But I guess if they are reading my blog then well, they probably wouldn't say anything since we are all in this together. I share more in my blog than I do to anyone in my personal life. The support is awesome. And I really appreciate your comments
DeleteGlad you're blogging so I can lurk and comment, lol. Always like seeing what you have to say! clara
ReplyDeleteClara, I guess if you go around being anonymous than you can lurk anywhere and anytime. I am always glad that you put a name next to your comment because you are so kind to me. Thanks
DeleteI'm enjoy all your posts but my favorites are the loving, spanking, and life ones.
ReplyDeleteLove the name of Emerging Lurker. Can't wait to see what you will call your blog (and one of these days you will have a blog, I just know it. ;-) Glad that you like my posts. And thank you for commenting
DeleteHi, sort of lurking here and seem to have missed the lurking day on these blogs. I too started one, then chickened out, now I don't know what to write and I don't even know where to jump in! It's crazy. I like reading what I've been finding around the blogs, although not sure where we fit in at times.
