I've been pretty harsh, I know, but it feels to me that you've really missed the point about why the traffic comes to the blog and no further, and you need to re-focus your efforts. The points I've made won't all be right, and they will probably all be hard to take, but they are genuinely intended to help.

I was disappointed that it's taken this long for you to respond. We're all busy, but I've taken time to give you a critique, and I thought you'd be checking back for responses. It's not too late for me to engage further because now I really do have other things to do.

Not sure that you'd want much more from me anyway - I expect you're feeling a bit battered. For that I apologise, but I didn't have time to be more diplomatic.

Good luck.
