I believe everyone does read other people’s blog at least once a day or more except you are writing about your personal life ramblings and you are not interested to learn from other blogs. When I found interesting blog that giving me informative ideas and guides, I will just subscribe to their updates. In case, I forget their blog URL address I still can get their updates in my email inbox.

So, how many blogs do you subscribe? I have subscribe to more than 10 blogs but not all of them I have read so far. Some blog published more than 3 topic per day and that is a lot when total topic I need to read per day is around 10 posts.

Not all the topics interested me and inspired me to write in my blog. Occasionally, Yes. Some blogs provide very good contents and niche information. That is why they can attract many traffics in a short time. They are also become my blog guideline to improve my blogging experience. And I know content uniqueness is one of the key to succeed in blogosphere in order to become an authority.

I can only adopt 30% of what I read in emails and other blogs. To overcome another 70%, I need to do better research and enhance my knowledge by visiting other blogs with the similar topic. To read is easy but to understand is another question :)

    It depends. But I try to read a whole lot of blog and especially leave valuable comments if I have the time. Call it good karma but if you want other people to give a meaningful visit to your blog, you must first extend the effort. My blog grows that way and it’s a good thing for me.

    Oh, by the way, I read about 10-30 blogs everyday.

    It depends, but I read a lot of blogs in a day, but most of the blogs I read everyday are the same because they update their blogs almost everyday. Such as problogger.net, johnchow.com, dailyblogtips.com and etc. After these, I’ll be hanging around to see is there any other unique blogs that is worth reading. As long as we learn something new. :)

    Regards,
    Lee
