Top 10 Reasons I Hate Top 10 Lists

Posted in March 25th, 2008
Published in Blogging

I am not alone as a new blogger who has been advised to write a top 10 least. I have been told that Google just loves top 10 lists. So because it’s Easter and I feel a bit nice, I decided to write my own top 10 list. That is when all the problems began. I really tried hard to come up with my first top 10 list of something but somehow all I could come up with is the top 10 reasons I really hate top 10 lists.

1. Relevant topic

I have to find a relevant topic to write about. Hmm. What do I like that other people might find interesting ? I could write about my beer, but it’s not in keeping with my serious business blog. I could write about my wife, but it’s easier to find 20 reasons I hate about her. Anyway, I can’t imagine why anyone would like her.

Blogger, Niche Thy Domain Name

Posted in February 11th, 2008

Nothing is worse than starting an online business and finding that your domain name is really not suitable for your Internet business positioning. If you are trying to establish yourself on the Internet spend some time and effort coming up with a good domain name - it should help you position yourself easier.Bad domain names can even lead to interesting articles about your own domain name. You really do not need to be called Apple when you are selling oranges do you ?

It is a bit late to change the domain name here and anyway I like it as it makes my point. However it would have been wise to read on how to choose a domain name for your blog and domain name ideas before messing up everything before this blog even started. Before you start screaming about failing in blogging as I did, you can learn the easier way by avoiding the same mistakes I made with this particular blog.

I have suffered already from the biggest mistake that bloggers make with their sites. However how do you learn if you are always right? I am about to get tired with blogging because I think someone is trying to play games with my head.

I have tried to work on this site with the right rules. eg, post everyday,don’t post everyday, post consistently, post sometimes etc. Don’t you just get tired blogging according to someone else’s rules ? I have worked so hard to try to come up with the right formulae to make me a million dollar blogger.However, I have found myself in a situation where blogging becomes a job that is not paying.

Effective Blog Commenting

Posted in November 7th, 2007
Published in Blogging

One of the ways that a blogger can increase both his readership and also backlinks to his website is by commenting on other blogs. Bloggers have found out that they can comment on other blogs to create both a name for themselves and also have a loyal following. The D-List is one example of such a group of bloggers.

A post at a popular blog can cause a tsunami of comments that can go in any direction . The sad thing is that in most blogs after reading the main topic, I really am interested in reading dissenting or agreeing replies.After all a blog is meant to be a way for people to share ideas. For small bloggers like me, it may take a long while before one can get the number of comments that other big blogs get in a topic. However getting comments on out blogs is not the main thing we are after as new bloggers. We are first trying to create relationships with other bloggers so that we can grow in our blogging business.
