Please help me with my latest round of marketing research. In the past, we’ve looked at how readers find books. Now I want to know how readers find blogs.
Specifically, I’d like to know how YOU found MINE.

Madison Woods
My new blog's home is "http://madison-woods.com" – Follow me there! I write speculative fiction with a surreal and sometimes dark edge.
Do I get an “I voted” sticker?
Hahah! Working on it…give me a few minutes
Thanks for voting!
I found you on the WordPress site, as I surfed writing blogs. As bloggers, we need to interact more, or so I’m told. I tend to be lazy and suffer accordingly, relegated to the blogging wilderness with my faithful fanbase of three followers! Happy Christmas.
Thanks for chiming in
It’s so time-consuming to interact, isn’t it? I tend to be lazy too, but am trying to find the best ways to maximize my time. One of the things I love about WP blogs is the ease in which we can follow and comment with each other’s blogs.
Ha. Everyone who votes (and lets me know) will get a cute little graphic on their comment today.
When I first started my writing blog I wanted to find other writers with whom I felt some kind of a connection–and I found you through the WordPress writer tags. Yay for me–it has been a real joy getting to know you better and follow along on your writing journey
Jeannie it’s been a joy to me too! I’m so glad you resurfaced because I thought of you often while you were on sabbatical
Thanks for taking part in my survey!
I found you through The Canary Review.
Thanks for letting me know that!
I wouldn’t mind a sticker either, though I’m so late that I’ll probably get none. *sad*
I found you thanks to the Friday Fictioneers, from a post on eFiction magazine.
LOL – here you go. Thanks!
Found this blog through Janet’s postcardfiction.
Cheers from General Santos City.
I have a story submitted to Flylit. Been waiting to here something since mid-november. They don’t answer queries and their webpage is under some sort of reconstruction. Your page came up when I google Flylit to find something out.
So, did your rejection get sent through Hey Publisher?
Hi Frank, I searched high and low for someone to get information about Flylit from – with no luck. Yes, I did get the rejection through Hey Publisher, a form reject. No one ever answered my questions either – I think I’d emailed one of the members listed from their website. I’m thinking Flylit hasn’t gotten off the ground yet. The website hasn’t been updated and it said last time I looked that it planned to launch in December 2011. But if you’re on Duotrope, you can see that they did just send out a few rejections to other members registered on Duotrope. So there is life out there somewhere and maybe yours is still under consideration. Or maybe they never got it.
Thanks for letting me know!
Hmmmm, “never got it’ may be a possibility. Hey Pub doesn’t help all that much, but it still shows it as submitted. *sigh* guess I have no options other than wait or withdraw. Fortunately, I’m patient.
Thanks much!
I’d be inclined to think they got it if HeyPub shows it submitted. Maybe they’re considering it. I hate that there’s no way to query the publisher directly, though.
I found your blog via Twitter. I think. But then there are other blogs (I’m so distracted!) that I peruse/skim/seek/stalk. How many a day? Or was it Google? How many sites am I on? What’s my name again?
I wish I could remember whose blog I was on that I found a comment that led me to you. Dang, that was well over a year ago! I’ve slept since then
But I’m so glad I found you and we are on this writing journey together. xox
LOL. I think I’ve found most of the blogs I stalk through comments on other blogs and from just following back bloggers that followed me. A few from Twitter, but not too many. But the most frequent way I find new blogs is from forum comments.
I can’t remember either! Haha, I’m glad to be sharing this journey with you too
Reblogged this on Madison Woods and commented:
So I checked my previous poll about how people find me or my blog, and now the most voted response is through comments made on other blogs. Just thought you might be interested in knowing how one blogger is finding an audience. Your time posting comments on other blogs can be considered contributed to your marketing duties
But just because you’re a “real life friend” doesn’t mean I will necessarily follow you. It’s your blogs that do the trick!
Thanks Kim
Somebody posted a tweet on Twitter linking back to your blog. I thought it looked interesting so I followed.
Thanks for letting me know
Sent from my iPhone… You should have seen the typos I *did* catch!
Well that’s a relief! I thought I was just having fun – and that wouldn’t have been any good :p
I found your blog through Percolate, which sends me 4 or 5 links to popular posts every day to my email.
Oh how awesome cool that my blog got pulled with those to be sent to you! Thanks for letting me know
Hello,
I found you on Tedbook and have spent the last hour enjoying your site. Thank you. Love it!
Thank you for letting me know! Glad you enjoyed your visit here
