I find this takes time and attention... an obvious statement perhaps, but missed by many.

As a web design firm our blog is aimed at 2 audiences, both being very small. One is to outline our capabilities and experience to new/potential customers. The second is to further educate and interact with our current customers. I've also found the blog to be a referral tool. Someone will share or mention to a customer of ours a specific issue with Internet marketing or web design and then a current client will forward that person a specific blog post we put out on the subject. (I love when that happens) Well put Chris. As a web design firm our blog is aimed at 2 audiences, both being very small. One is to outline our capabilities and experience to new/potential customers.

I'm just setting my up my first "real" blog and am interested to know how you arrived at the point where you knew your ideal prospect/target market. Did it evolve or was it a strategic decision at the start ? Many Thanks Glen Brighton UK Chris, I’m interested to read you about you “limiting” the number of subscribers you have to enable better targeting and greater resonance/connection with your audience(if I understood correctly).

The main point is who do you want to attract and why. Traffic with no purpose is vanity…

I've always been interested in the different types of blog readers, and more so what techniques entice those different types of reader. You only have to look at the comments on John Chow's blog and then compare them to the comments on ProBlogger. Although those commentating on both sites seem to want to learn about the same topic, they are entirely (for the most part) an entirely different breed of people. I think I could sum it up by saying many of those commentating on John's site seem to blog because they want to make a quick buck (and usually believe they can), while those on ProBlogger (and other blogs) are a little more reserved and are prepared for the long haul. That's just the impression I get, anyway. I can only put that down to the areas in which the two bloggers have gained their readers. Interesting post, Chris.
