Website Webs

Authors are supposed to have a website so readers can find out more about them and their books. I wanted to be an author so I started a website.
Seven books later I still have my website. More accurately, my website has me.
Almost every week I dutifully post a country living and a nature commentary. Most weeks I post a science project. Post them into this void called the ethernet never to be seen or heard from again.
There is a lot of advice out there on the Internet, in magazines and from friends and acquaintances on how to build a good website and attract lots of visitors. I have tried to build a good website. Now I am waiting for visitors.
In truth I do have quite a few people drop by. Even though I put in Google Analytics as advised, I'm not too sure what they do there. They never seem to visit my new posts only ones years old.
But the Analytics is confusing to me so I may be wrong.
The latest set of advice has come out in Writers' Digest. According to them I have several problems with my website posts.
First, I should plan them out ahead of time so they are related to each other. Usually the topics occur to me from some incident the week before making such planning difficult.
Second, I should be linking my posts. This one may be doable. I tried it out and successfully put one link into this week's post to a previous one.
Third, I need to visit and comment on other blogs on similar subjects. Perhaps I will find the time to go looking for these other blogs another day. It is on the list.
A website is valuable for an author. I like mine. One step at a time I will keep trying to improve it.
This week internal links. Next week a survey for most wanted topics. Maybe someday my site will finally sell some books.
