Author pages, websites, Blogs oh my! I sat down and looked at what electronic signatures I have attached to me over the years and it is quite a large number. Authorsden, Yahoo website, Blogspace, goodreads, Amazon, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Createspace, Publishers Lunch. Blogs, author pages and websites galore. But how to determine if they are being helpful or just time sucks?

Facebook provides good feedback as to likes, views and other statistics but how many lead to buys of your books? Blogs are great and usually track number of views but again, I have several with many viewers but I don't see upticks in sales after book specific blogs so again is it helping or just keeping me from writing on new books?

Still, you can't be a hermit I guess and expect sales to magically appear (believe me it doesn't work, better mousetrap book or not) so we must work the trenches and keep our name out there. Let me know what has worked for you!
