I used to work very hard to produce low quality content and post it on hn twitter and whatnot. It was depressing to see very little traffic.
So i reduced the number of post, stopped posting on HN. Suddenly i have more traffic then ever. Though google is mostly responsible for it.
What i started doing more often is link to people i find interesting in my articles, that's the new blog roll replacement, and somehow it has pushed those to link back to me.
Ps: don't give up because no one likes your content, the majority will not like it anyway.

- bowlich 9y agoThe fact that almost all the traffic to my personal blog are just one-hit wonders from google actually made me feel a lot less pressure to "grow" the blog or to even keep to any kind of coherent theme. These days, I post about whatever I feel like. With greatly varied degrees of quality. All knowing that a small handful of posts on some oddball niche will continue to garner tons of Google traffic while the vast majority of pages lay fallow.
