I will repost this in the other blog as well, but hello everyone! GREAT insight and thought. I always wonder, because of the lifespan of a single tweet, when someone like Brogan tweets, how many eyes *REALLY* see it. I also wonder how many followers are listening rather than trying to sell me something. The metrics have a lot of pitfalls, and it confuses the actual amount of *real* views, which is of interest to me. As for blog posts, I also wonder what the impact is (although likely negligible) of views from the main blog on a piece, rather than direct link. But i really am not so good with metrics. I will tell you which of my blogs went viral, but frankly I don’t even know what that is?

Actually… what *IS* viral for a professional blog post? I have some stuff in the 300-600 range, some in the 1000+ range, etc. What’s good?

Great work Josiah! Having an article go viral is always a nice thing and will help your blog grow as some of the first-time visitors will hopefully find your blog valuable enough to subscribe and to stick with you.

Thanks for linking to my articles, I am happy that I have inspired you.

Here’s one article from another blogger who asked hotels and hospitality companies to share which of their tweets received the most RTs/comments/activity on Twitter:
