Why Leaders Should Blog – Part Four – To find out what constituents are interested in

Posted by Shane McCracken in blogging, tags: ,

Tony Tomkinson has been looking at his blogstats. In 12 months he’s had over 5,000 visits and he has analysed them by post.  Nothing earth-shattering there.  No rocket science involved.  No records broken.  You might say it is quite dull.

Dull to you and me perhaps, but to Tony it is very interesting  indeed, because it shows what his constituents are interested in and for a civic leader that is the way to get re-elected.

    Good to hear that Tony’s still at it. Reading this post reminded me of what he told us about his previous experience as a web master – lots of effort (and cost) in getting a site off the ground and almost no visitors.
