You will be able to judge and assess your current performance through the feedback you have gathered.
There are several ways which one can gain feedback from your reader.
1. Conduct a Poll/ Survey
Poll Daddy is the site that I have used to conduct polls over at Dominique's Desk It is extremely easy to use and you just need to embed the codes which are produced after you have gone through the steps in the survey/poll wizard.
Other Sites for polls/surveys . -zommerangSurveyMonkey -Stapac survey
2. Post a question in your post and ask your readers to comment.
I usually post a question at the end of the post to provoke a response. I find this most effective in gathering your readers opinions. However if you are looking for a consensus it would be better to go with a poll.
How do you gather feedback from your readers?
