For the longest time my stats were split between a TypePad URL and a domain URL -- I did not know any better when I started and let the two assets develop unknowingly. So while I got a lot of conversations and traffic going early on, that is now lost since I mapped the domain name to my blog ;-) The other interesting part of this dialogue is blog focus. I have often debated with myself about it as I tend to go high level and very broad as well as deep on many topics -- the lens is always marketing and communications. I concluded that my focus is the outcome -- connecting ideas and people and confirmed that is the case with my readers. And I can be chatty as well. Karl:

True enough that the content matters and certainly focus. I often wonder if experiencecurve has enough focus, enough of a "position" in the branding sense of the word? Thanks all for the comments.

Obviously that doesn't happen by accident. Thinking through the 30 marketer blogs on the M20 list, I've wondered about the role of content breadth - and concluded that it doesn't matter. What matters most is, to David's point, writing well and staying focused! Which in your case goes without saying. Hi Karl – truth be told, you have *a lot* of subscribers.

Thanks for highlighting it! I'm planning a similar post soon. Thanks, Pat Karl,
