This stage is achieved through a gradual process. A large reader base cannot be developed overnight. There are several factors responsible for it. Speed matters the most.
Your blog should not take much time to load. If it takes more than 5 seconds to upload then it decreases the interests of the readers.

People are very crazy to obtain information through internet blogs but do not want to wait much to access the information. This factor if kept in mind will surely increase the reader base of your blog.

Site load time is definitely a very important factor when it comes to acquiring new readers. One of my blogs had a fair number of SE traffic, but when i was checking Google analytics, i’ve noticed that the bounce rate is very high. I lately found that the reason for this is that my blog takes a very long time to load on slow connections, when i fixed it, everything came back to normal. Thanks for sharing

I have have noticed when looking for information on some graphic intense sites, things have slowed down a lot I can’t wait to leave. This made me rethink some of my own sites that are server intensive and I have done some tweaking and the speed has increased.
I had thought about creating a blog and just blogging for the fun of it. I figure if you can get a few people to start visiting your blog and if your content is interesting, your number of readers could grow exponentially in a short period of time. You could always monetize the site later if it was appropriate.
As you mentioned also, ranking your blog for a chosen niche or keywords would definitely help bring in readers.
Nice attention towards Bounce Rate time to be improved by making the best quality contents. Once I read somewhere, the first one or two para of the post must be very attractive, meaningful and interested according to the taste of users.

Hi, Jane
You are absolutely right saying that downloading time is essential for users – nobody wants to wait. But one more thing that can make readers leave your blog is too many advertisements that prevent you from reading the posts.
I think, if you have a unique and Interesting title for you blog… and adding a very unique content that readers catch what is the point of your blog… and put some SEO. For that is the best idea could a blogger do to a readers based on your blog. Thanks for sharing this another story of blogging.

>>>Your blog should not take much time to load. If it takes more than 5 seconds to upload then it decreases the interests of the readers.
I’ve noticed a weird trend recently on various sites, where they’re simply taking too long to load. I guess sometimes this is the fault of whatever server they’re on, but if that’s the case, then people need to take the initiative and change servers. I know this is a pain, but if your content isn’t being delivered fast enough, this is a huge problem.

Timing is everything isnt it, the longer it takes, the less likely people will come back!
You mentioned 2 very vaild points, site loading time and search engine traffic by placing high in the search engines. I am working on the latter but it is a bit tough
Nice points. Quality contents are also one of the key factors.

I agree with many others – quality content is king. But I would also add that you need to keep a focus on your blog – find your niche.
Are there any tips for speeding up blogs on Blogger (besides minimizing HTML/Javascript ad-ons, etc)?
