Spreading the Virus, Indie That Is

19 March, 2006 (08:45) | General Information, Increasing Website Traffic | By: Erik

From Tucson, Arizona to Boston Massachusetts I couldn’t get away from the Indie Virus. I, along with a good friend of mine were recently “infected” with the Indie Virus from one of our favorite bloggers Yaro Starak. It appears a young man by the name of Chris pearson passed on the indie virus to Yaro and he was paying it forward to Cesar and I. Thanks for that.

To give you all an idea of how the virus has helped and to let Yaro know he done some good :) my feedburner subscriber stats read 20 people prior to the virus being sneezed my way. Now, 3 days later my subscriber stats have climbed 29 with steady increases each day! My stats are still having trouble surpassing the 60 uniques a day average but I have been away from truly helpful blog posts for a while and would find it hard to believe a mass of people would show up at my blog(step) just by dumb luck. You gotta help out the people to gain some sort of following.

Now I must pass on the Indie Virus and help out those around me that have inspired or entertained me over the past 4 months. Since my blog is basically about all the stuff I am working towards accomplishing I am going to send the virus to several blogs spanning a few categories. First off I am going to send the virus to Sean at A Runner’s Blog. I enjoy following his training and results to keep me going through my own training. Next up I am sending the virus to Success Minders” who recently wrote a nice article about training to learn. Good posts for those of you trying to work on your personal development. Lastly I am sending the Indie Virus to Scott. He may not need the virus but I love his blog and his idea. For those of you who don’t know he is a guy that has been wearing a name tag every day of his life for quite some time now as a sort of social experiment. Always interesting to see what he is up to.

Now that I have spread the virus and updated my blog I am going to have to head out. I’ve never been in Boston before and got in late last night so I had to start late today. I plan on visiting Harvard and MIT since I hear a lot of nerds hang out around there. Plus I want to say I’ve been there done that. Then maybe I’ll swing past Fenway Park and see if I can see any diehards setting up tents prior to the season beginning. I hear these fans are crazy.
