Ask HN: Why if visitors return, site does not grow

3 points by Slzr ↗ HN
I have a blog in blogger that has a very attractive subject, and it shows in the returning visits, but for some reason as the days go by the total number of visitors does not grow that much, has anyone have an idea why? How come is this even mathematically possible?

mathematically possible? Easy you have reached the X people interested in the subject and no one new comes to read the blog. Probably you don't have enough juice to get good ranking for search terms so not much search traffic is going your way.
Keep writing. Thats all I found I could do with my blog. I just have to keep writing and the more I write, the more posts I create the more search traffic I get.

Keep working on it.

How long have you been writing?

About a year. I guess you guys are right as long as you keep doing it seo becomes easier.
Guest post on similar blogs with more traffic. If done right, they get free content, you get a link or two back to your site.

Use blog carnivals. blogcarnival.com

Make sure you point users to the subscription option clearly. That helped my numbers rise...
