My blog also doesn't get too much attention. And it was always like that. I was writing in a couple of places, a couple of my blogs, and on a corporate blog. My most successful blog post had about 10k of visitors across the first year.
I also noticed that the average session time is about 2 minutes, sometimes is just too short to read through a blog post. So I assume that people come there just to get a solution to a problem they have, not to read through all the text.
Another thing is that over 70% of my blog entries are from two posts, a tutorial like ones. And this is only because someone found them informative enough to place a link on stackoverflow, and some other places.
At the very beginning I wanted to earn on the blog enough to work only on the blog. In reality that's impossible for a technical blog, and instead I just treat it as an interesting part of my CV.

Does your website actively ping back to the server to determine how long a visitor remains on a page?
- pleasecalllater 10y agoI use the simplest thing like Google Analytics
- beejiu 10y agoGoogle Analytics 'session duration' is not what you expect it to be.
- inancgumus 10y agoYeah. When a visitor goes from Page-A to Page-B, only then, GA counts it. If the visitor gets to Page-A and gets out, GA doesn't count it.
