It comes down to the expectation you set for your audience. Seth Godin for instance is the king of the short post, and people love him for it. They know what to expect. And the mullet link is my pleasure :) You are right Kat. It comes down to the expectation you set for your audience. Seth Godin for instance is the king of the short post, and people love him for it.

People return to brands and people they can count on, and those that are both familiar and unique. Cheers for adding a mullet link to this post!

Perhaps if commercial businesses were as focused on their audience as bloggers are they'd produce better content and convert at higher than 1-2%.

This is great subject and we could discuss it for hours. First, We need to take in consideration what is commercial content and what is (lets' call) relationship/informative content. Dont need to explain, but i need to mention for the sake of my comment that commercial/branding websites are completely different from Blogs. While commercial websites (try to) sell their brands/products/services and have long pages in content talking about themselves, blogs pretty much come on another hand, offering real Content for the users. That reminders me of Dale Carnegie (How to win friends and influence people) and his theory that you can be extremely well accepted/popular if you show real interest on others rather than trying to sell yourself. Also let's take in consideration that Nielsen's studies date 1997, not really golden age for Blogs. Cheers Lucio Hi James,

And you know what... I think you've just struck link bait gold with the blogs & mullets analogy. I'll let you claim write that one :) I can't steal your concept. Thanks Ken.

I didn't read the whole thing, but it looks good ;-) (j/k I read it all. Now I'm waiting to see your follow-up post relating blog posts to mullets - short and tidy on the front page, click the more link for the party in the back :-D ) Great points about writing for your readers James.
