Hi,
I have a peculiar issue with my blog. I do not have read hits in Russia. Why is there minimal reading from Russia. How do we market our blogs in Russia? Is there any language issue and do our transalators(Babel etc) work well.
Does anyone know a blogger in Russia whom we can mail and clear doubts with???
Cheers,
Anitha

@ Anitha : A very unique question.. I started wondering the same myself.. I found an arcticle with a number of comments from russian bloggers.. am not sure if it will answer your question but it should shed some light..

On another thought an active promotion .. mailing them.. commenting on their blogs .. basically showing that you are interested in them before they show interest in you..
Thank U Anoop. I can make a headstart with the link u have given.
Cheers,

@Anitha : Glad that helped
@ Anwin ; thats a good link!
@Anwin - Thank U. I shall surely check that site. No, i have not heard of this blog before.

IndiBlogger had only 17 visits from Russia this month - the same as Norway, and compare the size of the 2 countries!
True. I don't have any Russian readers.
@Anwin - Yes, Englishrussia is really a nice blog. I follow it regularly.
Today, of a total of 12 million users on LiveJournal, some 700,000 post in Cyrillic, making them second only to English speakers.
@Renie - I read the article in Herald Tribune. It was very informative. We seem to be innocent bloggers. Looks like a lot of money and crookedness is involved in the blogs mentioned in the article. Hope such negativeness does not creep into Indi Blogging too.
As of Cyrillic - we need to check out if Babel translator or any other translator can translate our blogs to that version. But, hope we are not inviting trouble.
We need to check out how we can improve traffic in other areas of the world such as Russia and Norway.
