In October, 2005, Scott Adams created a new blog: The Dilbert Blog. In October, he got 10s of comments. In November, his posts rarely got 10s of comments, getting more like 100s. This appears to have been pretty much the trend right up to the present moment. Even a post stating that he was taking a day off blogging generated 144 comments.
References to the blog, when compared with A-listers such as Steve Rubel or DailyKos show that Adams isn't all about the juice. In fact, this blog is a good example of an outlier from the traditional correlation between inlinks and readership. In otherwords, the readership of the blog is far higher than the inlink count would suggest. I'd love to see some comparisons of inlinks to readership and readership to comments.
