In Last few days, i have noticed that i have start getting the new visitors from on my blog. It really means that my blog is finding its existence in the big world and m loving it. The first three months of blogging have really been great and i have found some amazing people here.
I also noticed that my follower numbers is increasing/ decreasing by 2 people. I get a new follower and one stop me following. Which make me feel like do i write so bad. Let me clarify, I am not a professional writer. In fact this is my first attempt in writing anything, so i cannot be the best but i am trying to improve.
Other thing, People starts following the blog and expect follow them Back and i really do. But after a few days back they stop following back(This is not the first time that has happed, Its been more than 3-4 times). If you are really not interested in reading my blog, don't just follow me for the sake of increasing the follower in your list. And if you stop following it after i follow you, do you think i am moron and i'll not get to know.
I follow the blogs in two scenarios:
1.I like some blog and i do mention that i am following their blog.
I do not mean that coz i have followed their blog, they have to follow me back. I follow them coz i liked their blog and want to read more from the blog(However if they follow back, i do not mind. Who do not want the readers.) and most of the blogs that i follow do not follow me. So why do i mention that i am following them? Only because i can get attention and be in contact with the blogger.
2. Someone starts following me.
I generally follow them back coz i find it a good way to interact with new people.And we get to know people only after being in touch with them.Its not like i am just returning their favor.
For any new visitor, i'll just say PLEASE FOLLOW ME ONLY IF YOU GENUINELY LIKE THE BLOG. You might find me rude but thats the way i am.
Last but not the least,I am really Thankful to the people who really like my blog for its originality. THANKS AGAIN.
PS : Shopaholic Jiya is hosting a give away on her blog which is open internationally. She would find the closest option of specification on her websites and send it to u.

Oh! But I like your blog and will continue to follow you.
It happened to me once, you know, someone stopped following me. It hurts at first hehe. I can totally relate.
Congratulations! Three months is great and I admire your commitment. I've been blogging for a month now although I joined blogger last Nov. 2010. It is fun, yet challenging.
Thx for your comments girls.. I think you guys are the reason, why i am blogging.
I don't care how many followers i have unless i am getting the readers who can provide some feedback so that i can improve.
All in all i am enjoying it and thats most important.
Thank you for posting about the giveaway hun.
You are so true about the following blogs.
-Follow the blog only if you like the what that person is writing about.- Follow few bloggers who are constantly in touch with you, they mean a lot to me and everyone. You gradually become best of friends. :)
Keep it up girl. <3
yeah I know exactly what you mean, this post should be on every blog post as a disclamer haha! i hate people when they say "follow me and I'll follow you" like whats the point it means you're not gonna read my posts anyways!
I agree with Pop Champagne!! :) I feel the same way!!!
Also, try refreshing the page. Like I cannot see any image on your blog right now either. May be blogger is acting up again! :(

I feel the same way about followers. I don't follow back just because they followed me.
Here's a good article on why you should not: http://foodblogalliance.com/2009/07/why-link-exchanges-are-a-terrible-no-good-idea.php
I hate those 'follow me and i'll follow you' comments too!

I know the feeling!!!
Welcome to the world of blogoshpere. :) And, none is a born professional writer, over the time we learn to be one. Happy blogging. :)
Have a nice day Swati!
Congrats for your 3 months!!! Have a nice weekend!!

Very well said. Someone wrote to me, "I love your blog. Please follow me." and I stupidly thought she genuinely liked it. Once I followed her, forget commenting, she never even visited my blog again! Live & learn I guess!

@gayatri actually many of the people do it just for the sake of follower count. But if one don't have a reader how does the count matters?
It's just a show off to the world that you have loads of readers while the actual readers are only a few of them
