Perhaps every now and then you should reward yourself with a short term deal to give you a boost, but maintain an overall long term strategy. <strong>Cody</strong> - Ha, I guess there are less online communities once you remove those made in the English language! Perhaps you should learn a new language and cater to a new audience!! ;) <strong>Nicole</strong> - I could talk about online communities all day! I am glad you are still enjoying the blog. <strong>Kevin</strong> - You are spot on. It takes time and a lot of work, but success is hugely rewarding. <strong>Mike</strong> - Find other blogs in your niche and get involved in them; leave constructive, valuable comments or offer to guest write. You will soon get noticed. Networking is important if you are to develop a successful blog. Get involved in the blogosphere and you will soon attract attention.

I have a relatively new blog that I'm struggling to get off the ground. I feel like I have some good stuff on there, but I can't seem to get people onto the site to read it. But I think this post gives me some great ideas in terms of what I should be thinking about for the future. Thanks. Thanks for the post, it has some very useful information.

I am in that early bumpy stages, trying to climb the ladder on the google charts, trying to build up my community of visitors. It does take a long time and lots of hours of work.

Along with the rest of the article. Recently I have hit a rough patch, I totally re designed my homepage and shortly after my homepage got dropped by Google. After a few days i decided to use this opportunity to correct a mistake i made when i first started the website. I used to have a long homepage url so i shortened it. Now I am reindexed by i lost all of my homepages trust rank and i know its going to take awhile to get back. Ever since i made the change i rank well in google for every language but English. Weired eh? Cody “It can take a long time to develop a successful online community” I like that opening statement because it couldn’t be truer. Along with the rest of the article.

But it is so difficult to keep patience for the long term gains. It's like sometimes I feel if I am putting so much effort now, why don't I get my results or gains now and why to wait.........But your post gives me motivation to cross the bumpy road with courage.

There is nothing wrong with taking a short term approach every now and then but I think adopting a short term strategy 90% of the time is a bad idea. <strong>Asia'h</strong> - I agree; it can be difficult to give up short term incentives and I am not saying this should always be the case. Short term successes are great, but you need to ensure you always keep one eye on the future. <strong>Daniel</strong> - Thanks for your comment. If you are always looking to the future, you are far more likely to succeed - just look at the mess many banks are in now as they failed to predict or plan for the current credit crunch, preferring instead to capitalise on short term windfalls.
