I do get traffic from surprising places, and my writing has led to some media exposure, but I doubt I have thousands of readers following my tax blog!John Loukidelishttp://blog.simpsonwigle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-59396091745940865162012-06-21T21:48:09.181-04:002012-06-21T21:48:09.181-04:00John,

I doubt very much I will be blogging 7 years from now; in fact I will be happy if I am still standing 7 years from now :)<br /><br />From what I can tell, your blog appears to be part of your firm’s website and fairly technical. Maybe your firm is an exception, but most firms’ websites don’t get significant traffic other than clients and the occasional prospect and thus, would not be considered “mainstream”, but rather niche or client focused.<br /><br />I guess what I consider mainstream is where you get traffic from all across Canada and the world to your blog. If that is the case with you, then I apologize for not noting your blog as a “mainstream” blog, but in any case, congrats. on writing for 7 years, that is a significant accomplishment.The Blunt Bean Counterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358868550072516313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-51895808373561207992012-06-21T20:54:36.506-04:002012-06-21T20:54:36.506-04:00" ... and they fill an information void since..." ... and they fill an information void since I think there is only one other mainstream blogger (Canadian Tax Resource) doing such that I am aware of."<br /><br />I don't know what you mean by "mainstream" blogger, but I've been blogging about income tax here in Hamilton for almost seven years.
