		<description>Toma,

Great post!  Regarding the quitters, I wouldn&#039;t worry too much about it.  I&#039;m sure that those with extremely large follower bases have people that quit following them all the time, just based on sheer volume alone.

When it happens to me, I find out if I&#039;m following that person or not.  Just found one, today, I wasn&#039;t following this quitter, so I followed him, and he came back.

Have an outstanding day!
Bradley (@OutsideMyBrain)

		<description>This is a nice post, its important to remember that everyone has their &quot;down days&quot;, but its important to try and look at the positives and keep on working at your goals.

I think in terms of losing people on Twitter, its not such a bad thing, it probably just means that the person has realised that they are not quite so interested in the topics you tweet about and the latest tweet just helped them realise that. Its not such a bad thing either, as it means that leaves you only with followers who are really into you!!</description>

		<description>@Amber Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment

@Ashley First I thought that I&#039;m talking stupid things. But there aren&#039;t. It&#039;s only SEO tips for beginners. Maybe they didn&#039;t get the post where I said that I&#039;ll post seo tips for beginners and when they see it think something like :&quot;Ok, another guy just discovering things and post them on Twitter&quot;. It&#039;s just a supposition. I agree that you can&#039;t measure traffic by the number of comments but when you get lots of it I think you&#039;re starting to developing a community. And that&#039;s the secret of constantly increasing traffic. Thank you for your feedback.</description>

		<description>Why do you think you lose Twitter followers when you post certain things?  Do you think your readers feel the content is irrelevant, or is spammy?

Comments are &quot;iffy&quot; -- it&#039;s certainly nice to get comments on posts, but it&#039;s not always the measure of traffic.
