Do you remember the article I wrote about how to increase your feed readers by not updating a blog? At the end of the article I wrote that I could achieve some more detailed information about this experiment if I would stop to write for a whole week. Finally, due to a lot of travelling, I was not able to post for 6 days. These 6 days proved that everything written in that articles is true and that your feed readers will probably increase if you don’t post!
The maximum number of feed readers I’ve ever reached, was 41. After not writing for 6 long days, the readership increased and went up to 49! This is really an astonishing result. It also seems that not only your feed readership will increase if you stop writing for a few days, but also your Mybloglog community. Before my blogging break, I had 43 members. Now Linkrain is counting 51 community members!
In the meanwhile I also managed to get into Technorati’s TOP 10k at position 8,931! Linkrain is now between the 10.000 most famous blogs on the Internet.
Also the Alexa Rank got better and better. I’m very close to get the rank below 40.000!
And what do you think about a Free Wordpress Theme released only 9 days ago that already got 2.260 downloads? This is going to become a very popular one.
Finally, the most important update: I’m back from my travels and I have time to blog again :D
I have over 300 MyBlogLog members. The number doesn’t go up or down if I don’t post. My traffic goes down on the weekends and up during the week.

LMAO..and now that you started posting again, it’s down to 47 (5PM EST)! What kind of message is that sending? lol
Interesting. You would think you would have more readers as new content is published.
