which do you prefer, regular blog readers or rss readers? i tend to like real-time blog readers better because they are exposed to my adsense units, but a lot of these are just one-timers, meaning that they come once and they never come back. where rss readers are more ‘loyal’ readers who actually want (or like) to read your blog again and again. you dig? well either way i have not much of either around here, but my network is getting tons of organic traffic (mostly humans, i hope) from google. organic traffic is good for monetizing a blog, but if they never come back then the few cents you make from their clicks are not repeated. but if you somehow get them to subscribe to your rss feed, then maybe your blog will stick longer and maybe their friends will check out their subscription list? which could lead to exponential growth if you give it time.

what’s your two cents on this?
