Promoting Readership?

What promotes weblog readership? Obviously, having something to say that others want to read. So far today, I’m staring at a most-read list that has a range of 1260 hits down to 100th place at 26 hits. The vast majority of these are about technology, programming, weblogs and the like.
Are other communities of bloggers focused on other subject matter? Is there anything to learn from the fact that the top 100 Radio/Manilla/Frontier webloggers generate a ”hit list” that totals roughly 12,000 or so since midnight last night thru 4:30p.m. CST? Is there anything to learn from the fact that this is getting hits and hasn’t changed since February 22nd?
To really make the impact we want to make, what should our numbers become? Does every weblog on the Top 100 for a day need to reach 5,000 people? 1,000? 50,000?
When my weblog began to evolve into something other than ”desperately seeking Radio help,” readership dwindled quickly. In all fairness, it also didn’t hurt that in those first desperate weeks of trying to learn Radio, Dave Winer linked to me a few times. Thanks again for that.
VITALIS IS ON THE WAY OUT???? Who knew?
