I guess it is pretty hard to build your own tribe, I mean a community of those who read often is pretty easy but a tribe who will idealize your blog, I don’t know.

Tribe is a better term for what we are trying to do as bloggers. A point to look at is that there are tribes inside communities…those tribes tend to stick much closer together

Mine is about the same last I checked. I’d like to get to 40% +. 50% would be pretty incredible – that gets harder as your blog gets more popular and you start reaching more and more people who’ve not visited before.

Jack, Good points about what to focus on. Getting the repeat visitor percentage higher will ramp up profits. My site stats indicate about 37% repeat visitors and I'd like to get it up to 50%. What percentage of FTR readers are repeat? What benchmark do you shoot for? Alexander alexander -social media guys last blog post..Twitter Do’s and Don’ts

Jack,
I love the blog review and badge ideas!

I use the following plugins to build the sense of tribe:
What Would Seth Godin Do (tracks cookies so after 3-5 times, they are welcomed back right before first blog post).

Absolute Comments – Sends your new commenter a personal “thank you” email for their comment as well as a link to the post. Hmm maybe including a bonus here would be nice!

Intense Debate – Allows you to get comments by email so that you can instantly respond. It is a comment system that adds such functionality as: threaded comments, a reputation system, user profiles, and user/topic tracking across multiple blogs.

Excellent info, Jack.
I appreciate you! Will definitely incorporate these tips to build my tribe.

Hi Jack I completely endorse what you're saying, I bought 'Tribes' by Seth Godin two weeks ago, it's a must read. It's the first Seth Godin book that I've ever read. Also, I'm a member of SEO 20/20 by Charles Heflin and this thing about 'Tribes' is a major part of their ethos and training materials. One of the things Charles says is that some members of your 'Tribe' will become evangelists for your product or service and they will promote what you have to offer to their friends on sites like Myspace, Facebook and Twitter without you having to do anything other than continually posting top quality content to your blog. This can have a major effect on your search engine rankings and visibility because of the all important links pointing back to your site from authority sites all over the web. Your 'Tribe' effectively do all the promotion for you. John O'Hara United Kingdom Tribute Bandss last blog post..Madness Tribute Bands: One Step Behind
