Yankee Doodle Blogger

The majority of my readers are from the US, followed by those readers from the UK .... not too surprising, given that the USA is the largest pool of native 'English' first language speakers in the world.

Yankee Doodle Branding ....

However, whether they are following the primarily US content, or just individual stories I am not able to determine, not without extending Google analytic's far more than I am comfortable setting up, especially on such a small blog.

SEO Branding Is All A Game ....

So by way of experiment, and partly because the US interests me, I am going to aim a little more of my content towards US centred stories ... not so much that I lose the UK voice of the blog, but enough to ensure that I can see if there is a spike in visitor hits, and its what visitors want. After all it may be the non-US content that attracts US visitors, but I will never know on present posting content, not without a few tweaks.

I Wasn't Born On The 4th Of July

Trying to please everyone is a mistake, but on the other hand aiming at the core audience is just common sense .... which is kinda like the old favourite “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.

So for a little while at least, I am just a "Yankee Doodle Dandy" ... or maybe not ... we'll see how it goes.

    I should submit your first paragraph to unnecessaryquotes.com, but I won't because they have enough.

    For one, I'm happy with the current proportion of UK and USA stories.

      Quote removed .... hmm, maybe I do "over do it" with them, but I guess we all have a written style and that's mine. I am happy enough that mostly its an easy reading style, and not too clunky. However it can leave posts a little overpopulated with "s and 's LOL

Moderation is on for older posts to stop spamming and comments that are off topic or inappropriate from being posted .... comments are reviewed within 48 hours. I don't block normal comments that are on topic and not inappropriate. Vexatious comments that may cause upset to other commentators, or that are attempting to espouse a particular wider political view, are reviewed before acceptance. But a certain amount of debate around a post topic is accepted, as long as it remains generally on topic and is not an attempt to become sounding board for some other cause.

Final decision on all comments is held by the blog author and is final.
