Things That Make Blogging Attractive
Everybody needs some motivation to make everyday decisions. Whether it is money, pursuit of fame or love, our actions are determined by many factors. When a blogger launches a new blog he or she is driven by something that he or she wants to achieve. Without proper motivation there is no blogging. If not motivated in any effective way, a blogger can eventually stop spending time blogging and might quit the amazing world of blogosphere.
In this article I would like to present a few small, but important things that keep my blogs running and make me want to spend my time blogging rather than doing something else. Here they are:
Seeing the progress of my work. Blogging involves numbers and this is what I like about it. Whether it is data on the number of visitors provided by Google that helps me see the increase of number of bloggers visiting my site or other ways to see progress like Alexa ranking, I love it. To me, maintaining a blog is like playing a good online role playing game where you constantly get better: grow stronger, get better equipment etc. For me the strength is my visitors and better equipment is better rankings. To back up this point I would like to give an example of how I am motivated right now to blog. Very recently Google upgraded the Page Rank of one of my blogs. This motivated me so much that my zeal for blogging remains strong.
Seeing other bloggers progress with their blogs. Nobody wants to stay behind. I do not want to. However, I do not view blogging as a competition, but rather a social activity additionally bringing me satisfaction, way to spend my free time and money. If everybody goes ahead, then there must be some good reason for blogging.

I agree with you, bloggers have different motivations. In my case, I enjoy gaining new online friends and learning from their experiences. I definitely read their posts. I get to express myself too.
