I know we’ve only been together a very short time (one week to be exact), but I’m beginning to feel uneasy about our relationship. You see, since I’ve been with you I feel greedy and confused. There are some issues we need to discuss before we take this any further.

You say that if I do what you say, my “blog traffic will explode.” This traffic, this gold that everyone is seeking, is it good? I have this FRIEND for example, who racks up points by running over to the computer every 30 seconds between wiping snotty noses, cooking dinner, and playing “baby” for the millionth time. I’ll admit, she does blogmark sites that look interesting, but to date, she hasn’t visited her blogmarks yet. As enthusiastic as she is about winning points, my “FRIEND” that is, she has this feeling that all of these other bloggers that qualify as traffic might be doing the exact same thing. But she keeps on at it, because she’s gotta win another lottery ticket to attract more of these bloggers who are surfing in their greedy ways.

Why do you have to make this relationship so much harder than it has to be. I mean why are those numbers all jumbled up in the left corner. Shouldn’t I just be able to push the GO button? I shouldn’t have to work that hard.

I worry that you are decieving me sometimes. You once explained our relationship to me this way: “You read other blog sites and they in return visit your blog.” Are these visitors to my site really the same bloggers that I visit? I have a hard time believing that Mr. Explosion. There is some distrust developing, and that is no way to begin a relationship. No?

Another problem I am encountering, is that our relationship is a bit one-sided. I can choose the categories I wish to surf, but I keep looking for a way to choose the categories that visit me. Let’s face it, the author of the “How to Succeed at Business” blog has no more interest in my discussions of snot, floors, and nursery rhymes than I have in the top 10 ten business trends. So you see, I need to have some control here, too. Please consider that.

So, dear Blog Explosion, I am thinking about putting an end to my greedy affair with you and your traffic. But first, I need to surf some more. I won a 10 credit lottery ticket yesterday and know I can do even better. See ya tonight, darling?
