"What do I blog on?" is a common theme for posts here at ActiveRain.

But as you blog, like a pastor searching for inspiration and hopefully not preparing the weekly sermon an hour before the service Sunday morning, here is a source of topics to pour your heart and soul into. Comments from blogs that caught your eye. Browse through the many AR merchants peddling their wares, their ideologies and sharing their real estate discoveries, setbacks, victories, experiences. For example, I saw a blog today and my comment made me think this could be a blog in itself. Here is what I wrote. It was in response to a Debe Maxwell blog post on doing a post, and disappearing to do our real jobs and why comments on that blog post are not responded to one by one like a boomerang that thrown but that nevers returns. The charge being "hit and run, leaving the scene of the blog without filing an accident report/answering questions." Here is my response to the question as you blog, do you look in the rear view mirror?

"Many times the comment left is another blog in itself and gives you inspiration for your next post.

But often they require no further comment or response anyway. Look at the blogs you've written with little or no comments that surprised you but the stats show 2000 people clicked on it and visited without leaving a tip, or comment. Those numbers are what tell me how effective or popular the post was behind the scenes. It illustrates what other similiar theme posts to do to feed that audience in the AR buffet as they slide their tray down the cafeteria production line.

We've all read a post that caught our eye on the opening screen because it had 78 comments and we thought wow, high powered better read it and then came away with hey, that was a Wonder Bread lot of air, no beef and stratched your head on why the attraction. Many bloggers have a fish school of followers that migrate and stratch each others back with tit for tat comments too.  All kinds in here to make the AR world go round. You need to blog on the subjects that the page views/clicks indicate are your strong suit. That is the voice you turn up here at AR Real Estate University with more posts on something you are good at, passionate about that took time to produced with sharp images/helpful links, well written thought provoking copy not just type thrown on a page to collect points or strictly SEO hidden agenda."
