Now, had there been a clause with Which (preceded by its comma), then it would have been about great blog posts in general ... some of which engaged readers ... the clause could have been removed with no effect on the meaning. Perhaps the measure of a "great post" is one that makes the author a lot of revenue (perhaps by people clicking those links and buying something ... or anything .. at Amazon?). That kind of post might not engage readers, at all - you don't want the person lingering around, not clicking links, if that is your definition, after all.
