The follower/following ratio is key. I immediately have doubts about people when I see their numbers having huge numbers of “following.” It shows they don’t care about their followers and instead, just try and get more people to follow them.
It’s crucial to maintain discussions and respond intelligently to others. People will check out the pages you send them as long as you carry weight with your posts.
Yes, I agree, the most important blogging tip is to keep up with useful and actual interesting posts.
