I have learned that with many followers, the better chances of getting Higher PageRank in Google. What's a good "NUMBER" of followers?

My Newsblog1st now has 41 followers while my Your Daily Word has 30. How about you? How many do you have?

      ill check your blog and see if i can follow. k?
  1. ThriftShopRomantic
    I've got 70 on one blog and 80-some on the other, I think.
    1. mister2mike
      WOW! That's one good number!
    2. mister2mike
      how did you increasse your followers to that number?
    3. ThriftShopRomantic
      I wish I had some great insights to share, but I'm afraid I really did nothing but put the widget out there. I didn't participate in any exchanges, or anything like that.

      I focus on content, mainly, for the blogs. So if people want to follow, that's great. If not, that's fine, too.
    4. mister2mike
      great to know!
  2. CTVicky
    I've just got the two. OP I'm now following you.
    1. mister2mike
      that's a good start compare to having none. just keep blogging and it shall grow.
  3. CTVicky
    And AK I'm following you
  4. gtally
    15. But I only had one at the beginning of the year. Lately, though, I've been a slacker on the new posts and it has caused my new follows to drop off considerably.
    1. mister2mike
      i agree. followers stop following when you don't post
  5. surveygirl46
    I have 3 followers. But they are all I need. P.S. Do split personalities count as followers?
    1. mister2mike
      LOL! that's okay if you just have 3 if they're for real
    2. surveygirl46
      Well, they're real in MY head anyway.
  6. qelqoth
    Huh? I don't bloody know. Is that like subscribers or something?
    1. mister2mike
      i think followers is for blogspot only.
    2. qelqoth
      Blogspot sucks.
    3. mister2mike
      I like it coz i can add widget with HTML or XTML easily unlike wordpress well unless you have your own domain
    4. qelqoth
      Get your own domain and hosting then, innit?
    5. mister2mike
      what are you using by the way?
    6. qelqoth
      WordPress, innit?
    7. mister2mike
      i know. i just checked it out. nice blog eh.
    8. qelqoth
      Well I like it and that's good enough for me.
    9. cookingasshole
      burned by mister2mike! oh!
    10. mister2mike
      whatever you say qelqoth.
    11. qelqoth
      I'd hardly call it a sick burn. After all, I'm a firm believer that anyone else's opinion is irrelevant to those of my own. It's great being ignorant, innit?
    12. cookingasshole
      "I'd hardly call it a sick burn"

      Oh it was crazy sick.
      Jesus would be jealous.
    13. mister2mike
      tsk tsk tsk
    14. qelqoth
      Jesus would shun half the people on here for their spammy antics.
    15. cookingasshole
      sorry mister mike
    16. surveygirl46
      Oh you're the cranky guy! I can't wait to check out your blog.
    1. mister2mike
      very generous for you. but do you follow even if you don't like just because he follows you?
    2. mister2mike
      very generous for you. but do you follow even if you don't like just because he follows you?
  7. comedianx
    i only have 7 followers
    1. mister2mike
      that's okay! That's a good start! Keep blogging!
    1. mister2mike
      COngrats!
    1. mister2mike
      that's one thing very impt. don't stop blogging and blogging right so you keep your followers and have more
  8. kat822
    I think i have 17
    1. mister2mike
      why do you think? don't you know?
  9. memoriesinmosaics
    I have 18 followers now. Each post is different. I don't have a central theme other than my mosaics on the side.
  10. reddiamond007
    i have 491 followers
    1. qelqoth
      Can you cure leprosy? Or turn water into wine?
    2. mister2mike
      WOW! That's the highest number so far in this discussion. why don't you share secrets?
    3. mister2mike
      8 followers. that's okay! it will soon increase
    4. Stillthinking
      This guy knows a lot of technology, for someone who's only 18 years old. I wonder what his sources are.
    5. mister2mike
      hmmm. he's 18? good job!
    6. Stillthinking
      Not so much good job as much as it is "who is he plagiarizing his material from"
    7. crpitt
      Yep! fraudster
    8. mister2mike
      oops let him have what he has, whatever he did to reach that i don't care. at least he now has 491 followers. that's what's improtant
    9. crpitt
      He doesn't, he has EIGHT.

      So fraudulent behaviour doesn't matter? Whatever it takes to get followers? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
    10. Stillthinking
      I bet the original creators of the material would be quite upset.
    11. crpitt
      Exactly but if he has loads of followers, what the heck! meh.
    12. mister2mike
      it's wrong if he's done fraudulently but you don't know what he did. it's wrong to judge. but i haven't checked his site. the truth is 8? bad boy! let me spank you now!
  11. thingys
    Counting my cat? ONE

  12. goran3

    1. mister2mike
      Don't worry it will increase soon!
    1. mister2mike
      great start!
  13. crpitt
    I wins! heh.
    1. mister2mike

    2. crpitt
      I am the bestest.
    3. mister2mike
      by what standard?
  14. LaMirabelle
    What's followers of a blog?
    1. mister2mike
      oh that is only in blogspot blogs. are you using wordpress or something else?
  15. mephibosheth1
    I couldn't say. My blog is at WordPress.
    1. mister2mike
      yeah i understand
  16. reddiamond007
    now i have 550 followers
    secrets is just follow me and i will follow u!!!!
    1. crpitt
      You mean on twitter you have 550 followers, not on your blog.
  17. nothingprofound
    The only following I want is the wind at my back.
    1. mister2mike
      LOL! Okay so be it!
    1. mister2mike
      hi i mean blog followers not twitter followers
  18. chicky401
    I lost count...oh wait you mean blog followers, I really don't know guess I should check. Probably less then the stalkers I have in real life
    1. wonk
      Don't think I have any, but I'm just a newbie so that's ok! Ask me again in 6 months
    2. mister2mike
      hehe. stalkers? why would they stalk you? for what?
    3. chicky401
      They are hoping I will fall in love with them Or at least something else. But they are fairly harmless so I am not worried yet anyway
    4. mister2mike
      hehe LOL!
  19. PearlTrader
    I was very pleased to see my blogs 1st follower just a few days before.
    Because my blog is not very old so, only 4 followers yet. I am satisfied with this small number of followers.
    1. mister2mike
      That's perfectly okay.everybody starts from 1 then to 4 then to 100.
  20. AngelsWeekly
    We are on Wordpress, so we don't get the followers widget. But we have some regular readers who are loyal.
    1. mister2mike
      i understand. Take care always!
  21. iyaayasmoderator
    8, not many. Maybe more in the future. Still a baby blog, only 2 months old. Sort of off beat subjects, adoption, life, military, and a little humor. Doesn't seem to be what the world wants to read about.
    1. mister2mike
      Oh that's the reason. still too young. just don't worry. keep blogging!
  22. shadowmoon87
    17
    Though I'm not really sure how many of those are really following.
    1. mister2mike
      LOL! COrrect!
  23. mxoso
    I have just 6. By the way are u shure folowers is connected to pagerank. Where did u find it ???
    1. mister2mike
      i have read it in one of the posts when 3 months ago. but it think it makes sense. followers are subscribers to your rss
    2. jafabrit
      I don't see where the correlation is either? I don't have a lot of followers and I just saw that my page rank went up.
  24. Levz
    I have 36 followers i just started late March and I'm loving it!
    my blog is mostly about my recent and past road trips, place I've been through, experience, observation, Photography and whatever pops in mind...
    I think in a way this freshen up my mind and makes me explore other mind too...
    1. mister2mike
      great one. let me visit it then!
  25. Levz
    Thanks A lot!
    1. mister2mike
      no problem. if you may check my blog as well!
    1. chicky401
      Don't feel bad, I think it is a blogger thing. Not sure if wordpress has it.
  26. mister2mike
    Why are these comments being removed?
    1. crpitt
      Because people keep leaving their links.
  27. PhillipMinnis
    Ummmmmm...one!
    1. mister2mike
      justs keep blogging. i'm sure that will increase soon
  28. akunan21100
    just 1. i will upgraded my blog first for make a lot off follower, or maybe U can help me how to do?.

    maybe U got experience...
  29. talisboassessoria
    I have no idea .... Maybe none. Some ppl stop at my blog take a look and never come back. Others come back. Well, I started my blog at the 21st, so it's too young. Plus, it's a wordpress doesn't have that ... follow me ..stuff that blogger has. very handy indeed.
  30. jafabrit
    I only have 19 and my page rank is 5, so not sure if there really is a correlation or what?
    1. crpitt
      This dude talks waffle
    2. jafabrit
      yep, it doesn't make sense????
    3. crpitt
      Especially as wordpress blogs don't even have it.
      I have 96 and my page rank is 2
    4. jafabrit
      Woo hoo that is a lot of followers but ya know I don't get what having a lot of followers or page rank does in the end (unless one is running a money making blog perhaps)?

      Is it just an ego thing?
    5. crpitt
      Anyone can get a load of followers it doesn't mean your blog is any good, just means you have a load of followers.

      I like the widget because it adds the folks I follow to my feed reader.
    6. ThriftShopRomantic
      The only thing I can think of is that people feel compelled to join things they think are popular.

      So by showcasing followers, bloggers are trying to instill a sense of credibility/popularity to new readers.

      Thing is, this can cut both ways. If you don't have many followers, and you still show the widget, your blog may be incorrectly perceived as a blog without much of an audience.
    7. jafabrit
      I like to follow people whose blog updates I am interested in, that is if I remember to do it.
  31. agnespages
    I don't have a "followers" widget. it has never occurred to me to get one LOL

    I might be old fashioned but I don't care how many readers I have, as long as they are there because they like reading my blog and not because they want me to link them, click their ads, etc.
    1. crpitt
      Nice answer
    1. mister2mike
      that's really a lot!
    1. mister2mike
      that's hard. followers in blog gives you the idea who subscribes to your rss.
    1. mister2mike
      LOL! I'll visit your site but i'll see if I can follow
    1. Keniacris
      I have 12 followers, but I know I receive more visits than that. I have few but loyal readers. Take care you people!
    2. mister2mike
      You too!
  32. chrissred
    I have 23, but I receive plenty of visitors who visit back
    1. mister2mike
      Great to know. let me be one of your visitors.
  33. surveygirl46
    I have 9 now, i had 8 but then i accidentally added myself. Which is kind of appropriate since I think i made my humor blog for the biggest fan of my humor, ME, and by that i mean weird things REALLY crack me up and I think i needed a safe place to go hang out with all my weird inventions, so i appreciate the followers that understand me, plus i use the art of bribery; on the other hand, i love reading all the different humors out there; i can honestly say i have found something funny in every one of them....even the cranky guy:)
    1. mister2mike
      LOL! Alright! let me check your site!
  34. charona
    i had 8, must work hard to get more.
    1. mister2mike
      yes! You can do it!
  35. shef26
    i started using twitter a month ago and have 35 followers til now...
    1. mister2mike
      I'm referring to blog followers actually but thanks for sharing
  36. 86john
    i only have 7. what a pity
    1. mister2mike
      that's okay! You'll soon increase that. Keep blogging!
  37. idealpinkrose
    I have four but I haven't followed anyone yet...
    1. mister2mike
      Oh alright. So they followed in their own will. You may also choose to follow them as tahnk offering or see if you can follow them!
    1. mister2mike
      That's great! You can actually write a post and lead your followers to read or follow your other blog as well.
  38. MyGrandpasPen
    I have 13 - lucky 13!
    1. mister2mike
      WOW! Keep up the good work!
  39. Klaykisses
    I only have 8. But I am a better reader than a writer I think. I'll get there. Hopefully!
    1. mister2mike
      God Bless you! I'm sure you will soon.
  40. dbowles1017
    Well there is my mom, my sister, the weird cat lady down the street, my mom again, and myself.
  41. RiveMagazine

  42. SAHMinIL
    Currently 25 via (google) follower and over 30 (it's been anywhere from 33-35) via feedburner. I DO NOT do link exchanges. I DO NOT do you follow me I'll follow you junk either.

    The followers I have a people that are generally interested in what I have to say!
    1. mister2mike
      Great one!
    2. SAHMinIL

  47. EncourageChange
    I have one follower who is a virtual friend and am quite happy with that thus far.Has anyone on the internet ever changed anything for the better of humankind?
    1. mister2mike
      that's perfectly okay. he's your friend remember
  48. maftab92
    i have got only 9 members.
    1. mister2mike
      that's perfectly okay. keep blogging
  49. Alcomum
    I think my blog has about 11 followers, twitter has about 30, and facebook has about 40 friends. I have only been on all those for about 6 or 8 weeks so I'm not sure if that's good numbers or not. Feel free to jump onboard any of the above!
    1. mister2mike
      i think that's pretty good.
  50. maftab92
    I have got one more....so total 10 now!
  51. ebkie
    I said zero a few days ago, but now I have 15 well technically 14 since one of them is myself (I got lonely not being followed lol). Reason why I had zero at first was because I just put up the follow option. I had 5 followers (not including myself) within the first day
  52. TALKINGOYSTER
    i have thirty one. but my blog has only been going for abit longer then a month!
  53. jasongallimore

  55. rokphoenix

  56. Adityavardhan

  57. aspotofblog
    I have too many followers. I actually had to ask some of them to stop following me because it was getting intimidating
  58. XxJamberxX
    Not enough...
  59. seername
    None because I just started new blog.

    1. cookingasshole
      oh my other blog has like 3 million
    2. dbowles1017
      Im at 7 million myself
    3. cookingasshole
      yeah but you employ follow me follow you tactics so they don't all count.
    4. crpitt
      Liars!
    5. dbowles1017
      CA-It's better than your tactic of "I suck you, you follow me"

      Carpitt- am not!
    6. cookingasshole
      Hey! I suck the hardest of anyone here!
    7. dbowles1017
      That's err... Nice?
    8. crpitt
      You do suck harder than a dyson hoover, tis true.
    9. cookingasshole
      at least I can admit it.
    10. crpitt
      I shall never admit to it.
    11. dbowles1017
      It's ok if you are good at sucking.
    12. crpitt
      I will leave it to you two
    13. dbowles1017
      I didn't say I sucked.
    14. Sylvia
      I thought this was a family oriented site, whats with all this sucky sucky love you long time sailor stuff.
    15. dbowles1017
      Whoah, whoah. You are the one who made this sexual.
    16. Sylvia
      I most certainly did not
    17. dbowles1017
