blog ecosystems that monitor the blogosphere:
blogdex.net, icerocket.com, blogpulse.com, technorati.com
blog search engines and directories:
blogwise.com, blogarama.com, globeofblogs.com
pick a boring, obvious title with keywords, not an obscure, clever one
don't put the word "blog" in the title, and use a tag line with more detail
permalinks are the permanent URLs that others can link to
put author info on your blog and make it personal and interesting
trackbacks are like remote comments, linking together related blog posts
blogs enabled "citizen journalism" or "consumer-generated media"
blog readers are generally older and have more money
blogs offer fresh content, an informal voice, and useful information via links
search engines love blogs because of: frequent updates, links in and out,
built for indexing due to template layouts, and archived and organized cleanly
the most popular blogs are generally technology or politics based
a blog should be controversial and passionate, drawing comments from readers
blog for a year on a specific topic, and at the end you'll have content for a book
don't put a press release on your blog, a blog should have personality
respond to every comment in the blog and also by a separate personal email
blogroll - list of a particular blogger's favorite blogs and websites
ping weblogs.com and blo.gs to notify automatically of new posts
other options are pingomatic.com, pingoat.com, and kping.com
news aggregators - bloglines.com, pluck.com, newsgator.com
feed directories - feedster.com, syndic8.com, newsisfree.com
the best way to generate traffic to your blog is by commenting on other blogs |
