		<description>Hi George,

First off I want to say congrats. For a two month old blog 800 uniques is way high. You definitely had a major source of traffic coming from somewhere. Or multiple somewhere&#039;s...
My suggestion is you look at your new visitors compared to your returning visitors. This might justify your uniques going down to 40. (You did mean 40 uniques right?)
Most bloggers I have read up on say that you need a minimum of 6 months to see how steady your traffic will be.
I agree with Steven. Start trying to use some different strategies. Within 6 months time you will start to see what works and what doesn&#039;t. Good luck!

Cheers,
Jeremy

		<description>Steven,

I&#039;ll check the comment luv issue - that IS weird.

Thanks for the insightful tips.  I&#039;m going to give them a shot and change things up a bit.  I hadn&#039;t been doing the EXACT same things, but close enough.  I&#039;ll mix things up and cruise some different media.  I&#039;ll let ya know how things turn out!

		<description>Are you commenting on the same blogs and doing all the exact same things you were doing?  That might be your problem!

Think of it like working out.  If you do the same workout everyday eventually your body gets accustomed to it and doesn&#039;t produce results anymore.

As with working out, you have to mix things up constantly to achieve the same thing you were achieving before.

Pick a whole brand new set of blogs to comment on, market your blog on social media platforms you currently aren&#039;t using.

Act like this is the first day you put up your blog, and do the same things you did when you first published, but with different tools and in different locations.

Try it, and let me know when you start seeing differences.

P.S. Don&#039;t stop using the social media sites you&#039;re using, just back off a little and hit others hard and steady.

		<description>@Eric - Thanks for the insight - I&#039;ll give those things a check for sure.

@ Matt - It could very well be just a blip because of those outside factors - I&#039;m giving everything a shot for a bit, I&#039;ll try to research all suggestions and then see where it goes.

Thanks, folks</description>
