There is a need for bloggers or website owners to be social. Interaction with other bloggers, visitors, customers, clients, readers, et al, is a requisite. It is a known fact that we blog to express and what better way to gauge strokes and slaps but through the audience.
It is deceitful for me to say I only blog because I like it and I do not care if the audience will read it or not, or if they will care about my thoughts or not, or if they will share their thoughts or not. I blog because I care. I care about what others think about the many issues here in our country and overseas. I care even for the trivial, for the not so important, because of the lessons we can get from them. I am interested with the knowledge and wisdom I can gain thru blogging. I am interested about gaining friends and developing friendship. I am interested to meet different people with diverse thoughts, opinions, ideas, principles, or preferences.
What is with the numbers? I mean, must we really care about the number of unique views we get? It is not really what matters for a personal blogger. It is the interactive communication that matters. It is the confidence that is gained.
But for a professional blogger, or simply, bloggers that make money online, the unique views matter. The need to be social is high. There is a goal to gain as much unique views to get viewers click on the ads, or the links to the ads, to make as much money. But first, what are unique views? I read from somewhere that Unique Views are the equivalent of "Visits" to a single page. For example, if 1 person viewed a single page 100 times during the same visit, that page would show 100 pageviews, but only 1 "unique view". Unique views is equal to unique visitors. According to Wikipedia, a unique visitor is a statistic describing a unit of traffic to a Web site, counting each visitor only once in the time frame of the report. This statistic is relevant to site publishers and advertisers as a measure of a site's true audience size, equivalent to the term "reach" used in other media. Therefore, page views are not the true audience measure.
Whatever is the objective for being social, it should be remembered that along with this need, the need to communicate is what goes along. After this, acquaintance and connection, for personal bloggers follow. Advertisement and publicity for professional bloggers follow.
