Should We Just Spew Garbage For Search Engine Or Do Some Real Blogging?
I am new in the blogging business, the first thing I do is to post to hosted blogs, I decided I should only work on wordpress based blogs, so far we all agree that wordpress is ideal for almost all kinds of blogging needs, people even use it as CMS, with the fact that its licensed under GPL make the wordpress the most popular weblog platform on the Internet.
Lately I figured that I should build my own blogs and promote them, subsequently I can use my own blogs to promote my other websites, of course this is not a new idea, all kinds of blog networks are out there for the exact purpose, anyway those are other people’s asset and I have no control, not to mention I can’t just post to them, obviously I will have to pay the owner to use their blogs, probably not cheap at all.
Its quite difficult to manage more than a few blogs manually, if you want values for your blogs,to write real stuff for your blogs will be time consuming, a successful blog needs a lot of hard work. Some blogs are quite interesting, let’s examine this one, Cute Plush Toy, the domain name is pretty good, and there are a lot of interesting articles on it, without a clear theme, you’ll find all kinds of different posts there. Check this one out, Flatbed Truck Tie Down, this one has main theme, all posts are following the same theme, there are a few well ranked keywords for this blog. there are more sites like these out there, but I believe you get the idea. Last but not least, you should build some casual blogs, let them get some content occasionally, take one blog as example, Wire Mesh Slings, your blogging network looks more natural with these casual blogs.
When you already have a few interesting blogs, add more blogs when you can, use the old ones to promote the new ones, this way you get your little blog network rolling. It sounds pretty simple, but it won’t be easy to build even a tiny blogging network, do remember don’t do any black hat tricks for your sites, if you get black listed there is no come back.
