My New Blogging Efforts

June 16, 2007 – 3:16 pm

I began blogging in December 2005 and since then grew from one lonely blog to one suite of blogs now touching on various niche topics. When I first started, I only write for myself for the love of writing. I don’t care if I do not have readers, let alone comments. I wrote, I published and that was all.

Recently, I decided that I have to raise the popularity of my blogs. Perhaps I am tired of seeing it stuck at a Google Page Rank of 3 each update. Perhaps I would like to give better value to all my sponsors and advertisers. Perhaps I realized that a good blog post is not enough.

Since two weeks ago, I began to come out of my blogging shell and participated in a handful of blogrolls, more significantly the DoFollow and MyList. I then made the rounds of all the blogs in my blogrolls and leaving appropriate comments as often as I could.

Just today, I signed up with DeWitt’s Media’s free online SEO tutorial which is aimed at helping us to bring traffic to our blogs and raise our Page Rank. Last night, I read an article by DeWitt’s Media on The Secrets of Driving Blog Traffic and feel that I really could learn something new from them so I decided to sign up even though I hardly have any free time anymore but this is something very important to all webmasters so I am going to MAKE time for it.

And with this post, I am going to participate in a blog Carnival upon the encouragement of David from OnTheWebEd. I have previously come across a couple of Carnivals but the topics were not something I was interested in or I was late to know about it. Anyway, this time, David was the one who found the Carnival host for me. The least I could do is to write up a post and submit it!

My next course of action would be to submit my blogs to as many Directories as possible. The list has been sitting on my desk for ages already. I better find the time to do it before I miss the Google update. I also have to submit my blog feeds to as many feed Directories as possible. To be honest, I just knew about the existence of feed directories yesterday so this is another piece of homework for me.

Well, I gotta end now. This piece was written on my spanking new smart phone. Blehhh
