As you go on your journey to grow your blog you sometimes make friends. You and your blogging friends help each other’s blogs grow, you link to each other until your blog finally lifts off and goes way past the level of your other blogger friends. Do you just leave them and go make friends with bigger and better bloggers?
Obviously the answer is no, yet you still find people that leave those behind who helped grow their blogs. They leave their blogging friends behind that spend so much time on their blogs and made it to be what it is.
I know me blogging about “blogging friends” seems a bit corny but the fact is, you should never leave anyone behind if you can help it. People invest time in your blog by commenting and reading your posts, time that they wont get back. That time is gone forever and if they spend it on your blog you really should consider doing everything you can to make it worth their while.
If you have reached a new level in blogging and your blog has grown past the level of your blogging friends you really should know that without those friends you would not have made it. After all it is your blogging friends that most of the time stumble your posts and bookmark it because they know that, its those things that bring the traffic in the first place.
My point is dont leave people behind that contribute to your blog. Dont leave your “blogging friends” behind. That is the worst thing you can ever do to your blog.

Do you just leave them and go make friends with bigger and better bloggers?
DTA:
I believe I will continue to maintain the relationship with true, sincere, honest blogging buddies.
Obviously the answer is no, yet you still find people that leave those behind who helped grow their blogs.
DTA:
What if those who got left behind are in a sense, not really good blogging buddies?
People invest time in your blog by commenting and reading your posts, time that they wont get back.
DTA:
What if those people never really invest much time in actually reading up the article completely, instead they just quickly scanned through and just simply commented, such comments can be at times quite silly and it is obvious that the person who commented is not sincere.
That time is gone forever and if they spend it on your blog you really should consider doing everything you can to make it worth their while.
DTA:
I ought to thank them for all those fake and totally insincere comments that they left on my site? -_-
Well, a comment is still a comment, nonetheless.
If you have reached a new level in blogging and your blog has grown past the level of your blogging friends you really should know that without those friends you would not have made it.
DTA:
I agree that sincere and true friends should not be left behind.
Well, that’s all I have to say I guess.
Keep the sincere and true ones, not quite sure what to do with those insincere and fake ones though.

A blog without it’s friends (regular readers) is not a blog at all.
